Romney Lansing , Telephone: FAX: Chairperson Russell G. Mawby Executive Director Kyle Caldwell S. Capitol Ave. Bldg., 4th Floor Michigan 48913 (517) 335-4295 (517) 373-4977 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Members of the Executive Committee ofthe Michigan Community Service Commission Paula Kaiser, Director of Program~ K.) RE: Michigan's AmeriCorps Planning Grants and Volunteer Investment Grant Funding Recommendations DATE : November 8, 2000 Michigan's AmeriCo rps Planning Grants For the 2000- 2001 program year, MCSC funded seven new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs. Based on observation, the staff is recommending that all new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs receive a three-month planrilng grant phase. CtUTently, Michigan's AmeriCorps grants begin one month prior to the start of the members. This means that grantees have one month to hire and train a program director and have all of the necessary systems in place to operate the program. We have found that in most cases either programs are not able to recruit a full corps or the program begins without majority of the systems necessary to operate a successful program. As a result the MCSC staff recommends issuing three-month planning grants to all new Michigan's AmeriCorps program. This three-month period would allow the programs the ample needed to develop all the systems necessary prior to selecting members. The planning grant phase should increase the overall quality of our first year programs. In addition, the planning grant phase would allow us to save resources . If a program does not meet all required goals of the planning grant they would not receive their operational grant. Therefore, MCSC has only invested roughly $15,000 in an unsuccessful program rather than $150,000 or more. How the Planning Grants will Work For the 2001-02 Michigan's AmeriCorps application process, the MCSC would implement a new planning grant phase. Any organization that has never operated an AmeriCorps program and wants to apply for a Michigan's AmeriCorps program will be required to apply for a planrilng grant. The planning grant would be 3 month grant for new Michigan's AmeriCorps programs to develop basic systems necessary to operate a program. The planning grant phase will be from �June 1, 2001- August 31,2001. After successfully completing the planning phase, grantees would begin the operational phase of the grant. The planning grant would not exceed $15,000 and majority ofthe funds would cover the personnel costs associated with the start up of the program. The funds could also cover supplies, travel, and equipment. During the planning phase of the grant, applicants would be required to select and train staff, develop the member timesheets, contract, and grievance procedure, establish guidelines with partner organizations, develop systems for tracking the spending of the grant funds, and establish evaluation systems. After successfully completing the planning phase, grantees would begin the twelve-month operational phase of the grant. If a program does not successfully complete the minimum required performance objectives of the planning grant, staffwill recommend to the board they not receive their operational grant. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants FY 2000 For FY 2000, we have issued 16 grants totaling $791,725. These grants are expected to generate a match of$1,032,587 that will be deposited in local endowments. Therefore we had $208,275 ($1,000,000- $791,725) left to obligate in this fiscal year. Up to $100,000 ofthe remaining $208,275 will be spent on capacity building for the VIG recipients. Therefore, we still have $108,275 to distribute for this fiscal year. We offered our current grantees the opportunity to request additional funds. We received three requests totaling $28,000. The staff is recommending the board approve the increases. Please see the attached staff recommendation. If the increases are approved, the MCSC will still have $80,275 to disburse for this FY 2000. There is a possibility that additional existing grantees will request increases. If no additional increase are requested, the MCSC will offer another round of funding in order to disburse the full $1,000,000. Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants FY 2001 In August, the MCSC issued the Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants application guidelines. All former and existing grantees received the guidelines. In addition, the MCSC sent a copy of the guidelines to all of the Community Foundations, United Ways, Volunteer Centers, and Michigan Campus Compact affiliates. Applications were due to MCSC on September 29, 2000. We received 13 applications requesting $550,000. Four of the applications were from organizations that have not previously been funded under VIG. The new applications were peer and staff reviewed. The renewal applications (those that are currently receiving VIG funds) were staffreviewed. The staff is recommending that 12 ofthe 13 applications be funded for a total of $450,000. Staff questioned the capacity of the Manistee Volunteer Center and therefore did not recommend them for funding. Please see the attached sheet for the official staff recommendation. If the staff recommendations are approved, the MCSC will still have $550,000 to disburse this fiscal year. The MCSC will be offering a second round of2001 VIG funds. Round II grants will be available to current grantees for the purpose of increasing their 2001 grant award or to any Page 2 �agency who has previously applied or been funded. FY 2001 grantees will be encouraged to apply for supplemental funds up to the $100,000 maximum. Applicants not approved for funding in Round I, applicants from previous years and other interested organizations will also be invited to apply. Staff will present the FY 2001 VIG Round II recommendations at the April 2000 MCSC meeting.

He exhibits great communication skills. Keeps commissioners informed of his intentions. Demonstrates confidence in himself and his staff." "Kyle was a great help in giving me a jump statt on being a commissioner. He was always willing to answer questions and spend time with myself." "In the shott time I've served on the commission, I think that Kyle has done a great job. He has done everything possible to help me feel that I belong to this group. I think that he is a great asset to the commission." "Kyle is excellent in his work with interagency colleagues." "Kyle has hit the road running and is thinking ahead on issues crucial to Commission's future." "Kyle personality is a plus for the Executive Director's position." "Communication ability, personality and ability to look ahead." '·In my estimation Kyle has done an outstanding job. We were very right in putting our confidence in him. He knows the issues and has tremendous political savvy to get things accomplished." "I think Kyle is doing a great job." "Kyle has tremendous strength: he is intellectually supple, has an excellent understanding of the policy process at both the state and federal levels, has superb people skills, has a good management style, works well with commissioners, and has real integrity. I feel that the is at the very top of his peer group of state commission EDs. He is developing a well-deserved national reputation as a leader in the field. He communicates well, and walks the talk. The MCSC is fortunate to have him (and I hope we can keep him)." "We are blessed to have Kyle." Areas for Improvement "Does not engage commissioners in outreach. This could be a serious problem in the future." "Less paperwork." ''Kyle is till quite young, and can use a little mentoring in some limited areas of management. He should be a little more cautious about how he expresses himself. Some comments are perceived as being very humorous by most, but may potentially offend others. Still, it must be emphasized that these are minor issues, and that he is doing remarkably well overall." ''Use of commissioners." "Be more selective on materials provided to us and perhaps use executive summary fom1at to summarize issues, positions and recommendations. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dottie Johnson (tentative) 1 �11/1100 The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign A Case for Support "Ensuring Michigan's Legacy of Volunteerism" The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign will ensure the strength and stability of Michigan's volunteer field. Through a $20 million endowment, the combined forces of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) will permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. Once the campaign is ·completed, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will achieve its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This means: • • • • building a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan community, having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service among its students and faculty, building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social needs, and . leveraging state and federal government resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. "The magnitude of our social problems will require that all citizens and institutions make a commitment to volunteering as a way of life and as a primary opportunity to create needed change." Governor George W. Romney, 1907-1995 Governor Romney's words ring as true today as ever before. Volunteers and the positive impact they have on our communities can change the way we live. But what maintains the momentum for our volunteers? What supports their work and recognizes their efforts? What encourages the young and young at heart to give their time, talents and treasures to communities? The answer in Michigan is clear. Michigan has a proud tradition of supporting volunteer efforts through what we commonly call"infrastructure." The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration Major components of that infrastructure include a st~tewide network of volunteer centers helping local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities (Volunteer Centers of Michigan), an association of colleges and universities that have joined a COIT)pact that works to instill an ethic of service �and civic action in the college students of today (Michigan Campus Compact), a trade association for nonprofits to give voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations throughout the state (Michigan Nonprofit Association), and a governmental body that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts Separate, but working in (Michigan Community Service Commission). collaboration, these organizations have combined to build a powerful forceinfrastructure-for volunteerism in Michigan. In October of 2000, the partnering organizations (MCC, MCSC, MNA & VCM) committed to building a permanent infrastructure for volunteers in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance combines the leadership and resources of the four partnering organizations all for the good of the volunteer field. Never before has such a diverse and powerful partnership been formed on a statewide level. This innovative partnership will leverage additional financial and human resources, reduce duplication of efforts, create a seamless support structure for Michigan's volunteers, establish new programs and initiatives and eliminate wasteful expenditures of vital resources. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will serve to continue Michigan's legacy of service and volunteerism-one of our state's most powerful forces. The Campaign Sustaining and strengthening that force is the purpose of the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the goal of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. M. the completion of the campaign, the ConnectMichigan Alliance will be supported by a $20 million endowment which, in itself, was created in an extraordinary way. In June of 2000, Governor John Engler signed into law, Senate Bill 968 that providing a challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant provides up to $10 million that must be matched on a 1 to 1 basis by the private sector by November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan's v~lunteers. The Leadership Continuing this never-before seen show of leadership, the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign Leadership will demonstrate the scope and depth of the ethic of service and volunteerism in Michigan. As we all know, Community service and volunteerism realize their greate·st potential when they become vehicles to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve problems. That is why the ConnectMichigan Atliance Campaign will be headed up by leaders from the philanthropic community, government, corporate sector and individuals concerned about supporting Michigan's volunteers. They include: To be inserted as leadership is determined. 2 �The Call to Action The ConnectMichigan Alliance needs your help. · To ensure that we can sustain the legacy of community building and individual support through the selfless acts of Mi~higan's volunteers we must build a solid infrastructure-the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months, Michigan's foundations, corporations and individuals connected through service and volunteerism must ban together and help meet our $20 million challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan's legacy of volunteerism. 3 �Item V Proposed changes to the 2001 Michigan's AmeriCorps application. Michigan's AmeriCorps Funding Allocation It is estimated that the MCSC will have a total of $X,XXX,XXX in new funds available for new and possibly expanding Michigan's AmeriCorps programs this year. Due to the limited funding and lack of assurances from the Corporation for National Service that future funding will be available, the MCSC reserves the right to limit and/or deny funding to national nonprofit organizations and/or their affiliates, that will or currently receive national service funding directly from the Corporation for National Service. This may include, but is not limited to the following: The Points of Light Foundation, America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth, Communities in Schools, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Parents as Teachers, and the Youth Life Foundation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Michigan has been on the front line of the national cause to make volunteering and community service a part of every citizen's daily life. Without reviewing the decades of human charity and philanthropic accomplishments this state has achieved, several milestones can be credited for this prestigious position. First, the vast number of individuals and organizations leading the cause including the late Governor Romney, our now Governor Engler, First Lady Michelle Engler from the public sector; the philanthropic community including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and its leaders including Russell Mawby, Bill Richardson and Joel Orosz; the thriving network of community foundations ably represented by the Council of Michigan Foundations and its former president, Dorothy A. Johnson; and the continuing expansion of the volunteer centers, campus compact institutions and healthy nonprofits throughout the state represented by the Michigan Nonprofit Association. Together, but existing independently, these individuals and organizations have constructed an intricate and broad reaching infrastructure that supports service and volunteerism in Michigan. There are a number of indicators that demonstrate that this is a time of great prosperity, goodwill and collaboration within the volunteer and nonprofit sectors, but there is still a great deal of work that can be done. State funded volunteerism is at its highest in decades (if not in history). The state of Michigan provides nearly $23 million in state and federal funding to support volunteer related programming for youth, adults, families and seniors. Private funded volunteerism is made strong through the community foundations that provide services to every community in the state. Their strong network of young people work their philanthropy through the Youth Advisory Councils. A draft planning document developed by the Michigan Community Service Commission members and staff. Revised 9/13/00. �Local volunteers are connected with opportunities to serve through the volunteer centers that offer services in nearly 85% of all Michigan communities. Large scope programs like national service have taken root in Michigan with programs like Michigan's AmeriCorps that has positively impacted over 276,000 citizens in our state in 1999 alone. Colleges and universities actively are engaging their students, faculty and administrators in giving back to communities in which they operate through new interactive methodologies including academic service-learning. These are tremendous accomplishments that have built up over generations, but which have made quantum leaps in development in the last decade. Infrastructure is the fratnework we use to successfully engage and channel the passions and goodwill of Michigan's citizens. Beyond the individuals and the organizations we have healthy networks, large statewide events and structures, and targeted communication strategies that support and celebrate our volunteers. We call all of this, "Michigan's Volunteer Infrastructure." Sometimes it can be difficult to explain and define what we mean when we say, "Infrastructure." For those who work to develop it, infrastructure is literally that which gives structure, public definition and support to the good work of Michigan's volunteers and volunteer administrators. For those who are supported by it, infrastructure is multifaceted and complicated. Without a formal text to refer to, I will attempt to define it using four examples. • Infrastructure is the nonprofit organization, government agency or corporate giving program that advances the causes of volunteerism,' service, civic engagement and philanthropy as a way of meeting local needs. • Infrastructure is represented by the times components of the volunteer sector come together to celebrate and learn what is done and what can be done better like the Volunteerism SuperConference, Grantmakets/Grant Seekers and Make A Difference Day. • Infrastructure is the voice that represents a particular philosophy for community problem solving and civic engagement or a serious need that is amplified through programs like the ConnectMichigan Campaign, America's Promise and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. • Infrastructure is the stable, yet innovative, support organizations gain to further their missions that is leveraged by federal, state and local resources to support sustainable volunteer efforts. Infrastructure is represented in all of these examples and more. Infrastructure is the framework we use to successfully engage and Revjsed 9/13/00 �To ensure that a sustainable and enduring force exists for solving our most vexing social issues, there needs to be a continuously driving force for the cause of "service to community" channel the passions and goodwill of Michigan's citizens. Michigan is often touted as the "Volunteer Infrastructure State" by peers and other organizations outside of our state. At the same time, while the organizations involved in the volunteer infrastructure in Michigan are able to point to what "it" is and what "it" does, these same organizations have difficulty explaining to those outside the infrastructure web, why exactly the infrastructure needs to be supported. Even the volunteers the infrastructure supports often do not realize that many of the grants, services and events that support their work would not be available were it not for the systematic and deliberate development of our state's volunteer infrastructure. Many do not realize the true impact and value our volunteer infrastructure can have on a community's ability to deal with local challenge. The vehicle (volunteer infrastructure), while in operation and functional, remains in the background in many communities as they struggle to address serious social issues. The profile of the Michigan Volunteer Infrastructure must be raised, praised and supported to ensure our future and the prosperity of the human spirit. This is a time of tremendous need and hardship for many struggling with breaking out of poverty, surviving the darkness of illiteracy, dealil)g with the helplessness of children without safe places and a good education, and the overwhelming despair of the homeless to name but a few social ills. Michigan's service and volunteer sector is working to address these needs through various streams of funding and programming. Among the nation's top 10 states in federal funding for AmeriCorps, the MCSC's $4 million for AmeriCorps leverages 25 additional volunteers for every stipended volunteer. Michigan boasts one of nation's five statewide nonprofit associations with a seven figure buqget and hundreds of members. The interests of Michigan's coii1Illtf!tity foundations are represented by the nation's largest regional association of grantmakers-CMF. Total assets equal over $1 billion, and in 1998, Mjchigan community foundations returned over $80 million to Michigan residents in the form of grants. Still, it can be argued that these resources alone cannot do it all, we (elements of Michigan's volunteer infrastructure) have not fully ensured that service to community is a genuine and universally held ethic and practice of every Michigan citizen. To ensure that a sustainable and enduring force exists for solving our most vexing social issues, there needs to be a continuously driving force for the cause of "service to community" by Michigan citizens and thereby raising the recognition and support of Michigan's volunteer infrastructure. To achieve this (based on what has been learned over the past two decades) here is what Michigan could do: Revised 9113/00 �Michigan, by establishing a strong nexus for Michigan's volunteer infrastructure, can provide a focal point for the advancement of the field. Michigan, by providing a sufficient flow of flexible resources to the volunteer field, can test and incubate new assumptions, strengthen working models of positive community change and provide training and technical assistance to organizations and individuals that see service and volunteerism as useful mechanisms for problem solving. Michigan, by continuing to convene elements of our public, private, nonprofit and social sectors, can discover new ways to deal with our society's most vexing social, economic and educational issues. MCSCwill concentrate on its roles as a convener, catalyst and grantmaker. Michigan, by providing a voice to the nonprofit community, can more effectively impact public policy and highlight the utility of the nonprofit sector in advancing positive community enrichment. The MCSC, MNA and its affiliates, VCM and MCC are addressing some of these roles, each to their respective individual available resources an expertise. Unfortunately, these roles can overlap and create conflicts and competition, especially if more than one are part of any single organization. For example, MNA is an organization that advocates on behalf of and supports the interests of Michigan's nonprofit community. In addition, it has as part of its mission, the charge to promote volunteerism. MNA receives grant funds from the MCSC to support volunteer programs operated by its affiliates. At some point, MNA may need to take a controversial stand (to the MCSC and state government) on a public policy issue with which the MCSC disagrees. An organization cannot effectively challenge public policy on behalf of private organizations while simultaneously accepting public funds from the very agency it is trying to influence. Similarly, government is often bound by the inability of its systems to move swiftly and can be somewhat cumbersome in its ability to engage in detailed programming. Recently, the MCSC proposed creating a nonprofit 501 c3 to help make for a more agile organization that can be responsive to community needs. The creation of a nonprofit arm of the MCSC could have made for competition among MNA and MCSC-a deadly set of circumstances in the nonprofit sector. The question becomes, "How do organizations utilize the agility of the nonprofit sector, tap into the vast resources of government, promote the effectiveness of volunteers and maintain a voice for Michigan's nonprofits?" Simple, compromise, specialize, and institutionalize. If MCSC and MNA follow this formula, they can truly strengthen volunteerism and make the infrastructure that supports it, permanent. Revised 9113/00 �Compromise MNA is willing to spin off its signature programming components (VCM and MCC) to reallocate its administrative resources and free it up to advocate freely on behalf of Michigan's nonprofits. MCSC is willing to spin off its field promotion initiatives that do not directly support its national service and state funded volunteer granting efforts. How do organizations utilize the agility of the nonprofit sector, tap into the vast resources of government, promote the effectiveness of volunteers and maintain a voice for Michigan's nonprofits?" Specialize MNA will focus on its public policy, advocacy and member services elements of its mission. MCSC will concentrate on its roles as a convener, catalyst and grantmaker. Both MCSC and MNA will partner to create a third entity that will allow them to more, better and with a longer lasting impact. Institutionalize The Volunteer Alliance (Alliance) is a bold step in this direction The Alliance will house the Michigan Campus Compact, Volunteer Centers of Michigan while taking on several initiatives of the MCSC including America's Promise, the ConnectMichigan Campaign, Make A Difference Day and the Volunteer Recognition Clearinghouse. Supported initially by a $20 million endowment, the Alliance will not need to spend the vast majority of its human and financial resources garnering support for operational costs. Instead, the Alliance will serve as a permanent (or as long as it is needed) support vehicle for Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure. Traditionally, infrastructure support and development has been a shared part of MCSC'sand MNA's roles in the field. If the development of the Alliance is successful, much of the infrastructure promotion role will be devolved from the MCSC and MNA to the Alliance. This begs the question, specifically "based on what has been devolved and what has been"fetained that defines the future role of the MCSC?" If the infrastructure support role of the MCSC is devolved to the Alliance, there clearly still remains the issue of developing continuous flow if needed resources. The continuing supply of state governmental (and to the extent that we have any influence, federal) support of service and volunteerism in Michigan will continue. However, the MCSC's current structure is not properly defined nor adequate to support this new role. Change is needed. The MCSC has an opportunity to change by both expanding and contracting the functions of the MCSC-to spin off what is not at the organization's core mission and focus on what has shown to be its expertise. Revised 9/13/00 �Since our 1999 retreat, staff have been working on plans that show how the organization might revamp itself to be most useful to Michigan citizens, today and in the future given the current changing context. These plans are preliminary, but do lay out the mission, goals and objectives of the MCSC. In addition, these plans eliminate duplication, build support for new support mechanisms and build an incubation system whereby additional economies can be defined in the future. Much like a traditional philanthropic institution, theMCSC should seek to find the most effective and strategic way to expend (invest) the public's scarce financial and human resources for the public good Recommendations for MCSC 's Future MCSC as a Grantmaker The MCSC should focus on its role and expertise as a governmental agency that utilizes its vast financial and human resources to effectively, proactively and efficiently disburse public funds to Michigan communities to enhance local problem solving through service and volunteerism. This will require a fundamental shift in this organization's thinking. No longer will the MCSC strive to start and maintain volunteer initiatives and support them in perpetuity. No longer will the MCSC work to be the promoter for the general service and volunteer field. In other words, the MCSC will no longer attempt to be "all things to all people, places and things." Nor will the MCSC merely fade into the background and act as a mere pass through organization for federal funds. Much like a traditional philanthropic institution, the MCSC should seek to find the most effective and strategic way to expend (invest) the public's scarce financial and human resources for the public good with an eye toward leveraging additional resources and measuring the key findings and results of those investments. Key principles for this new way of thinking are all focused around quality grantmaking practices. • Leveraging funds and other resources in support of volunteer efforts with an eye toward diversifying MCSC funding to ensure that communities and organizations are not overly dependent on a single source of support to achieve their stated goals. • Investing in demonstration models that point toward long-term solutions and can have long lasting positive effects while also helping the MCSC define sustainability as an expectation for all MCSC grantees so that there is a clear understanding as to the length and nature of MCSC support (What type of grantmaker do we want to be? When has our investment been enough and successful?). • The MCSC will serve as a catalyst for creative solutions and incubate creative solutions with the expectation that they will have a life outside of the MCSC once stabilized (spin off to the Alliance, for example). Revised 9/13/00 �• Convening stakeholders to determining best practices and funding priorities (what issues should be targeted) for annual or long-term investments in service and volunteerism. • Measuring, investigating and evaluating results of MCSC investments and sharing the results for others to learn and emulate. In the following sections, we will define the various future roles of the MCSC in support of Michigan's volunteer sector. Each role is given a brief description of how it would operate in the current and future contexts then the specific mission and goals are defined. Finally, where appropriate, specific tasks have been assigned with some recommended outcomes. MCSC's Role as an Investor The investor roleis not new, it has been one of the hallmarks of the MCSC. The investor role is not new, it has been one of the hallmarks of the MCSC. Today, the MCSC makes available two types of grant fundsnational service program support through the Corporation for National Service and the Volunteer Investment Grants funded through the state General Fund. These funds are distinct from each other in what their funding can be used for, but are similar in that they both require local matching. The matching requirements seem to build a level of local investment in tb,ejnitiatives that these funding streams support, but what is lessor known is whether the local investment can have a long-lasting and sustainable impact. For example,. with the VIG funds we do know that more than $2 million in local funds have been invested in local endowments to support local volunteer resource centers. This $2 million was produced by holding out an equal share of state funds as leverage. This program was and remains, the nation's only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment program. VIG is truly at the cutting edge~ In a decade, we may know what type of long-term impact this will have on comniunities that worked with the MCSC to build these local funds. As a long-term investor, we believe that the MCSC needs to continue buildingthe local funds in a way that both invests and leverages resources in perpetuity as part of a sound investment strategy. In the area of national service funding, the MCSC leverages volunteers. The grounding principle of the Michigan's AmeriCorps program has always been that we will use our stipended volunteers (AmeriCorps members) to leverage non-stipended volunteers (NonAmeriCorps members) to solve locally identified social issues. Revised 9/13/00 0 �Today, for each AmeriCorps member supported through the MCSC, an additional 25 volunteers are generated. There may be other ways that the MCSC, as a wise investor, can leverage federal, state and local resources in support of Michigan's volunteers. By seeking out other potential investments, the MCSC can help communities diversify the support of local efforts and strengthen their ability to address chronic social issues with comprehensive and long term solutions. TheMCSC can also cut new ground by defining its investment strategy. The MCSC can also cut new ground by defining its investment strategy. For example, when should the MCSC's investment in a program, initiative or organization stop? To date, the answers have been, "When the funding runs out." or "When the applicant is no longer successful in its programming goals and objectives as defined by the federal or state funding source." While these answers are fine for a traditional government agency, they are hardly unique and certainly not creative. A creative solution might be that the MCSC lay out its investment strategies with stakeholders up front and let them kg,ow that MCSC's investment is toward an ultimate goal that, once reached, will end our financial support in lieu of other public or private resources. In other words, the MCSC will be looking to support local efforts towards local sustainability. For example, no other state commission has developed a comprehensive funding strategy for weaning grantees off of some or all of their AmeriCorps funding. Some states state that their commitment will be three years and nothing afterthat, while other continue their support indefinitely. What if th¢ MCSC were to investigate what it is that makes a local AmeriCorps program work, test what is it that the federal funds do to make an AmeriCorps work, and then determine the best way to build effective programs while increasing local capacity to operate that program? Thisis exactly what staff did through a series of focus group discussions and analysis of our grants. The staff then determined that the local grantees could well afford to support the administrative costs of the AmeriCorps program, but not the member support costs (stipends, educationawards, training, etc.). So, what if the MCSC were to gradually wean and shift its support of AmeriCorps programs from administrative functions to members support costs? As an investor, isn't it wiser to invest only just what is needed to achieve a goal and allow for the remaining resources to support more AmeriCorps programs? This type of strategic grantmaking (leveraging and brokering) could be part of the MCSC's future niche. Revised 9/13/00 �Investor Vision The MCSC invests in innovative, effective, communitysupported volunteer initiatives that positively impact community needs. Goals MCSC invests in innovative, effective, communitysupported volunteer initiatives that positively impact community needs • Each of the MCSC funded programs, projects, and initiatives will successfully achieve the individual program goals by: - Providing the necessary training and technical assistance required for each program, project and initiative to be successful - Providing program monitoring and assistance to ensure that goals are met and that necessary resources are available. - Providing necessary resources to assess, create and provide for continuous improvement activities. • The MCSC will leverage funds to support new or expand current initiatives. • Each MCSC program area will have defined parameters for program funding. • The MCSC will have defined yet flexible funding priorities that are created through effective research, experience, trends and annual or biannual assessments. MCSC's Role as an Incubator/Catalyst As an investor, it is easy to place your resources somewhere that is safe and certain to provide a guaranteed return. Safe returns are stable, provide a level of comfort and an expected outcome. This type of strategy is normally what we see in government programs. These programs define a "cookie-cutter" solution to a complex and overwhelming problem then prescribe a funding formula that may or may not be sufficient to address the issue. Revised 9/13/00 �In the end, what was intended as a investment towards helping solve an issue, usually ends up causing new problems and agencies as communities become over reliant on state and federal funding while creating local complicated bureaucracies that later live only to perpetuate themselves. TheMCSC can, as a venture capitalist, invest in community problem solving 1nodels that teach important lessons that maybe transferable to other co1nmunities. New models are needed. Ever increasingly, local communities know potential solutions to their unique challenges and only need flexible resources to enact creative and responsible solutions. The MCSC can, as a venture capitalist, invest in community problem solving models that teach important lessons that may be transferable to other communities. The MCSC should seek ways to channel state and federal resources for use by local communities in this manner. In garnering these resources, the MCSC must seek ways to provide the greatest amount of flexibility to local communities while expecting the highest level of accountability of its grantees and of itself. While do so, the MCSC would clearly lay out plans that would incubate new models that, if necessary, would be sustained through other sources. A prime example, again, is the VIG program. Here, grantees are prescribed how to best utilize the state funds, but does require that the local investment be used as match in an endowment that can support futut~Nolunteer efforts. The MCSC can act as a catalyst for securing and.~t'eating this type of venture capital either through our comprehensive partnerships with other organizations or through development of new resources from the public sector. Revised 9113/00 �Incubator/Catalyst Vision The MCSC establishes, identifies, and nurtures creative volunteer-driven solutions addressing community needs. Goals • Pursue a more circular and less linear approach to targeted issues - Identify trends and focus our expertise and resources towards these trends. - Consider annual involvement/targeting on at least one single issue or demographic (social issues, priorities, etc.) ... as the MCSC proceeds to create forums for dialogue, creative ways for collaboration and a context for healthy partnerships, we 1nust also be aware of our past efforts and other's perceptions of those efforts. - Identify preexisting programs which have been successful - Promote the continued expansion of partnership at the state, national and local levels. • Empower individuals/organizations to create proactive, local solutions - Solicit creative solutions around identified issues - Develop better communication/working relationships with organizations that have already worked on various issues and with those resources. Help them with their work by way of service and volunteerism. Revised 9/13/00 �MCSC's Role as Convener for (Government Sponsored) Service and Volunteerism Stakeholders The MCSC can take the lead in helping promote and expand government sponsored service and volunteerism in Michigan both from the state and federal perspectives. The MCSC can bring resources, expertise and support to existing state agencies that utilize volunteers. The MCSC can bring together the various governmental agencies, nonprofits, faith based institutions, businesses and others to help provide a forum for productive dialogue, sharing best practices and collaboration. TheMCSC serves as a convener of diverse groups and individuals to assist in community proble1n solving through service and volunteerism. As we look to providing this support, the MCSC has to be careful in how it proceeds. In the past, the MCSC has worked to take the lead in improving services to communities by changing how service and volunteerism are funded in Michigan. The MCSC took the lead in advocating the consolidation of national service funding by taking the position that the split of Corporation for National Service (CNS) funding between the MCSC and the CNS office in Detroit was counterproductive. The MCSC took the lead in working to bring local volunteer centers together with volunteer service through the Family Independence Agency and their local county agencies. Each of these examples had their merits, but also lead to a tremendous amount of controversy and distrust. While the intentions may certainly have been good, the process by which the end goal was to be reached was unsuccessful and lead to l)ome unfortunate consequences. The MCSC was seen as power grabbing and not a neutral broker. Therefore, as the MCSC proceeds to create forums for dialogue, creative ways for collaboration and a context for healthy partnerships, we must also be aware of our past efforts and other's perceptions of those efforts. However, while some may always question our motives, this questioning should not deter us from our leadership responsibilities nor bar us from being an effective convening mechanism. Revised 9/13/00 �With this caution in mind, the MCSC can be an effective magnifier of state and federal resources in support of service and volunteerism in Michigan. Convener Vision ... the MCSC has always stressed aiding in local e1npowerment and local control which has encouraged staff to provide 1nore public recognition to programs and individuals rather than to theMCSC itself. The MCSC serves as a convener of diverse groups and individuals to assist in community problem solving through service and volunteerism. Goals • Assist in supporting "government-sponsored" service and volunteerism in Michigan - Promote state government employees' involvement in local volunteer initiatives - Promote and encourage the use of best practices among state government agencies in using volunteerism as an effective community problem-solving mechanism. • Expand collaborative partnerships to reach the vision • Empower individuals/organizations to create proactive local solutions through service and volunteerism - Examine current relationships to identify new populations to encourage the use of service and volunteerism as a strategy Revised 9/13/00 �Example " Best Practices Guide" TheMCSC stakeholders recognize and appreciate the MCSCandits programs, projects, and activities. We recommend that the MCSC annually publish a best practices guide for quality service and volunteerism in Michigan that would be developed by the field through a series of MCSC sponsored dialogues. Outcomes would include a "Michigan Best Practices Guides" for service and volunteerism. The guides would be developed through focus groups, research findings, surveys and conferences that help to glean the wisdom of the service and volunteer field for organizations, especially those in state government, to voluntarily adopt as operating principles. Taking on the role of facilitating and publishing a best practices guide will require that first, the MCSC be in a position to help other state agencies examine their current volunteer management systems and share them with other agencies and nonprofit organizations .. Over time this process could lead to a publication (Michigan Standards for High Quality Service and Volunteer Programs) that could be used by state government or even the private sector. It could even help to define the lexicon of the field to provide more standardized language (for example, distinguishing between voluntary community service and court mandated community service). In the short-term, the MCSC would focus on its current funding relationships including CNS programs and Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). MCSC's Promotion, Marketing and Research of Michigan Service and Volunteer Efforts More promotion of the MCSC and its programs to the public has been a constant struggle for this organization and a continual challenge for staff. On the one hand the MCSC has prided itself on its ability and willingness to engage in and form effective and non-territorial alliances and partnerships often with an overly modest approach. The MCSC is rarely self-serving in its approach and receives (and seeks) few public accolades for this work. The MCSC's literal interpretation of our catalyst role-aiding in the development of a process without becoming a part of that process- may have led to a lack of public awareness around the good work of the MCSC. Revised 9113/00 �It focuses MCSC's efforts and resources on helping others solve problems locally by providing factual and credible data. In addition, the MCSC has always stressed aiding in local empowerment and local control which has encouraged staff to provide more public recognition to programs and individuals rather than to the MCSC itself. On the other hand, the MCSC has worked to publicize the results of its efforts through America's Promise, the ConnectMichigan Campaign, the AmeriCorps logo and "signage" and various national days of service including Make A Difference Day. While all are very successful, this approach has done more to raise the profile of the service and volunteer field in Michigan and less to raise the profile of the MCSC and its grantees. All of this begs the question, does the MCSC need to be marketed? No. However, if the MCSC is to be an effective grantmaker it must: publish its funding priorities, communicate the rationale for the development of those priorities, celebrate the successful practices and failures learned from its funding, and promote the role of government in helping to promote service and volunteerism. Revised 9/13/00 ~ �Marketing and Research Vision The MCSC stakeholders recognize and appreciate the MCSC and its programs, projects, and activities. Marketing Goals Develop a marketing strategy that: • Promotes who we are, what we do, and why we do it • Promotes what works for the MCSC's programs, projects, and activities. If we truly believe that people can effectively problem solve through service and volunteeris1n, we must prove it. • Publishes our research findings • Promotes new ideas incubated by the MCSC - Create tools for the field to promote the MCSC programs and concepts - Create "stories/snap shots" for stakeholders to use to promote the MCSC programs - Seek professional guidance - Examine language/pictures in publications so they are user friendly - Create "canned" (yet flexible) presentations for staff Revised 9113/00 �Research Goals • Undertake studies to demonstrate the impact of the MCSC programs, projects, and activities (long term, short term, annual) • Shape the future funding strategies of the MCSC through new and existing research (ties directly to investor goals) • Shape future MCSC initiatives through new and existing research (ties directly to incubator goals) theMCSC would research and publish data about the health, benefits andneedfor service and volunteerism in Michigan com1nunities - Establish links to research organizations (Aspen) Examples Research and Publish What Works Adopting the model traditionally used by other state departments like the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH). This model stresses public awareness around issues, facts and desired behaviors all promoted through traditional forms of communication (TV, print and radio ads) with a tag line that identifies the sponsoring state agency. In addition, we recommend that the MCSC and its work be marketed much as MDCH does through research and data dissemination. In other words, the MCSC would research and publish data about the health, benefits and need for service and volunteerism in Michigan communities as supported through state and federal funds while also researching the effectiveness of its own programs. This research would be packaged as user guides and annual publications to be utilized by other state and private human service agencies to target their resources and focus their programming. This model also aligns well with the aforementioned goal of MCSC as a grantmaker not directly delivering services. It focuses MCSC's efforts and resources on helping others solve problems locally by providing factual and credible data. This particular model also fits well with our plans for the Alliance as it becomes the mechanism by which much of the public awareness around service and volunteerism is completed and the MCSC (as a grantmaker) can provide the financial resources to make it happen as well as the factual data upon which Michigan's public awareness campaigns are based. Revised 9113/00 �" Assessing the Health of Giving and Volunteering in Michigan" By engaging in this type of outreach, the MCSCcan provide a valuable resource and would be seen as an authority on service and volunteer efforts in the state and not justa pass through for state and federal funds. As an example, the MCSC could assign resources to annually assess the "health" of service and volunteerism in Michigan communities on a county-by-county basis. This data would be collected and analyzed by qualified researchers and act as an annual barometer for how, why and how often people volunteer and the needs of volunteer and volunteer oriented organizations. In addition, this data could act as a valuable tool for nonprofits as they seek support from local, state and national funders for volunteer initiatives. Each year the study might address a specific issue (education, health, safety, culture and the arts, etc.) that the volunteer resources of Michigan might target or examine. This approach of research and marketing of critical data is not new. Public health organizations have been engaged in this type of activity for years. Their work has made significant changes in human behavior including increasing immunizations against childhood illnesses, reduction in auto accidents and injuries with seat belt usage, and declines in deaths from breast cancer through early screening and intervention. If we truly believe that people can effectively problem solve through service and volunteerism, we must prove it. The only way we can prove it is to back up our claim with facts. The only way we can get the facts is through effective research. We recommend that we invest in developing and publishing that research. By engaging in this type of outreach, the MCSC can provide a valuable resource and would be seen as an authority on service and volunteer efforts in the state and not just a pass through for state and federal funds. Summary The ability of the MCSC to further its mission of enabling citizens to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism will be enhanced by it focusing on its expertise as an effective grantmaking entity. This is a shift from the MCSC's multifaceted role of supporting the promotion, advancement and profile of the volunteer sector to a more focused one where the MCSC seeks to make targeted investments with specific outcomes. This does not mean that the MCSC will abandon its convening, catalyst and broker roles. These roles will instead be redirected to support the grantmaking decisions of the MCSC. The MCSC can only do this because of the development Revjsed 9/13/00 �of the Alliance and its ability to address the larger promotional and programming needs of the volunteer field. Together with the Alliance and our many other service partners, the MCSC will help to advance Michigan's volunteer sector to the next stage in its evolution and on to greater levels of sustainability. What's Our Capacity? This is a shift from the MCSC's multifaceted role of supporting the promotion, advancement and profile of the volunteer sector to a 1nore focused one where the MCSC seeks to make targeted investments with specific outcomes. The staff have completed a first draft SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis of the MCSC as it relates to the new goals and objectives articulated in this document. The results are attached (see SWOT Analysis of the MCSC). The MCSC must take these elements into account as we form our future plans. Many of the initiatives and changes proposed will not significantly impact the size of the MCSC's core operational capacity, but they will require that the MCSC retool and gamer some additional financial resources and/or services. Much like many of the resources the MCSC brokers, the additional resources for these plans will be more directly focused on our grantees and external partners and not for internal administrative costs. The Alliance is an obvious example. While the MCSC may propose many activities and initiatives and programs, the work may actually be conducted by the Alliance or other partner. In this case, the MCSC will provide grants to support the work as opposed to creating a new element to the MCSC to handle the next new initiative. A brief overview of the draft budget is also attached as an illustration (see budget). These figures are not set in stone and are offered merely as reference points. In addition, these costs may or may not be incurred by the MCSC alone. Many of the functions may be taken on the Alliance once it is up and running. These are merely costs associated with all the aforementioned changes. Revised 9113/00 �Next Steps Clearly, even if we are all in agreement that these are the proper goals to adopt in order to institutionalize service and volunteerism in Michigan, there is a great deal of work to be done to determine the costs, feasibility and resistance points of such plans. However, as pointed out with regard to the development of the Alliance concept, we must move while we have the momentum and the initiative. no one should expect that the suggestions for change offered in this docu1nent would happen right away, but it could. Finally, even if general agreement on these changes is reached it will take time to implement them and the MCSC may not transform itself any time soon. On the other hand, the Alliance may develop quickly, the national scene may take a new direction (funding for the Corporation could cease or be increased) and the state support could dwindle. Therefore, no one should expect that the suggestions for change offered in this document would happen right away, but it could. We should prepare ourselves for these inevitability's.

For All to Serve A Plan for Promoting a More Civil Society through Service and Volunteerism Summary The leadership of the American Association of State Service Commissions (AASSC), its members and a number of local and national partnering organizations encourage local, state and federal governments, and elements of the private sector to renew and expand their commitment to communities by increasing support for national service initiatives across the nation. National service has proven its value over the past decade as evidenced by the annual contributions of more than 485,000 seniors, 40,000 youth and adults, and nearly 1 million elementary through college students who band together to serve their communities. National Service acts as a nexus for tackling local needs by combining people, serving as volunteers, and resources in the form of federal, state and private funds to create a powerful force. These volunteers and the programs through which they deliver their support, have demonstrated that the beginnings of long-term community impact can occur when individuals give their time through a structured and wellorganized volunteer opportunity that is locally driven and publicly fmanced. Now is the time to take national service and volunteerism to the next level. Volunteer opportunities must be available for all Americans as this nation was founded on the belief that neighbors must help neighbors to address their most vexing challenges States and local communities have demonstrated that they can implement National Service programs by leveraging both human and financial resources to address very real needs. The nation's governors have developed and supported innovative community problem solving models through the creation of nonpartisan state service commissions comprised of a diverse populations that focus on coordinating and promoting service and volunteerism. These 50 different laboratories (48 states and two territories) for local empowerment and civic renewal have helped to promote positive local community change through mentoring and after-school projects, neighborhood clean-up programs, senior care services, youth corps, literacy programs, initiatives for the homeless, and thousands more volunteer initiatives. Therefore we, the states, recommend the immediate advancement and institutionalization of the following principles: • All Americans should have equal opportunity to give back through a quality volunteer experience that can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life. • States and local communities should be empowered to help engage their citizens in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to envision, create, and sustain community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer service infrastructure (resource?, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. 2 �• Local, state and nationalle.aders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and by advancing principle-centered public policy that encourages national and community service. Background Since 1990, federal, state and local governments have been working in collaboration to demonstrate the powerful potential of national service and its unique ability to help address local challenges. During this decade of civic engagement, millions of Americans have devoted their time, talents and resources through national service programs. Their contributions-their selfless acts of humanity-represent a uniquely American trait. We Americans believe that giving back to our communities is a founding principle of our democracy and a common thread in the fabric of our republic. Nowhere are these principles better illustrated than in our states-our fifty laboratories for community problem solving. Time and again, states have fostered and incubated innovative models that local nonprofit organizations, schools and faith-based institutions have used to help build healthy communities. These state driven models include welfare and education reform, public safety and environmental restoration initiatives. The modest, yet meaningful investments offederal support for National Service over the past decade has created a number of valuable tools for communities to renew their vitality, reinvigorate their citizens, and make real differences in the lives of millions. Through a portfolio of relatively modest investments, the federal government has engaged a substantial portion of the nonprofit community and revitalized that sectors most vital resource-people who volunteer. Included in that portfolio are AmeriCorps, Senior Corps and VISTA. In addition, federal resources have been allocated to the Points of Light Foundation, America's Promise: The Alliance for Youth and Communities In Schools. The $463 million appropriated annually to National Service is dwarfed by the federal government's investments in education, defense, transportation, healthcare and welfare programs. Yet, National Service programs and the volunteers they support, provide substantial amounts of support to these other areas where federal resources are more generously allocated. In addition, nearly every dollar invested in National Service programs requires a significant cash and/or in-kind match from non-federal sources. This leveraging effect ensures the involvement and commitment of key stakeholders and builds and expectation that these efforts will be locally sustained as long-term community problem solving mechanisms. States have taken the lead in making these unique elements work together to build and infrastructure (support for community problem solving) for America's volunteers. Across the nation, fifty individual state commissions have been appointed by governors to spearhead the advancement and support of service and volunteerism. Each commission is comprised of a diverse group of individuals representing nonprofits, corporations, foundations, law enforcement, youth, education and seniors. Through these commissions, federal and state support is channeled to local communities to generate volunteer programs and encourage civic engagement among the young and the young at heart. These commissions, and the funds that support them, represent substantial investments on the part of states and, to a lesser degree, the federal government. However, like the investments made in our transportation infrastructure for example, state and local support must be significantly augmented by federal investments that are adequate and flexible, but which also call for accountability and demonstrable results. 3 �• .. Some believed that all of these new resources and reforms would occur with the creation of the Corporation for National Service (CNS). CNS was intended to represent a new kind offederal involvement in community problem solving. With its creation came the combining of a myriad of volunteer initiatives including the Whitehouse Office on Volunteerism, Commission on National and Community Service, VISTA, Foster Grandparents, RSVP, Senior Companions, Learn & Serve and others. CNS also created new programs including the largest federally supported national service program, AmeriCorps. During its initial formation, CNS called for empowering states and local communities to identify their needs and plans for which flexible federal resources could be used to implement unique programs and volunteer models. These resources would leverage state and private resources and be channeled to local communities through state commissions, appointed by governors, and empowered to decide how the federal resources would be spent. It quickly became apparent that the resources were not flexible and were tagged with very strict and complicated regulations that required duplicative processes and overly bureaucratic reporting mechanisms. Resources were allocated in ways that did not effectively utilize the network of state commissions that CNS helped to create, and instead began apportioning monies directly to national nonprofit organizations, state CNS offices and higher education institutions to conduct similar work as state commissions, but that which could be conducted without coordination with state service commissions and governors. These duplicative efforts and contorted organizational structures are not entirely the fault of the leadership at CNS. The blame can be equally shared with the legislation that created the new national service movement (National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993), the speed with which the 1993 Act was implemented and the limited resources available to implement the changes the legislation mandates. Despite these challenges, in a very short period of time, 48 states implemented an overwhelming number of successful programs with unique outcomes that demonstrate a number of innovative service models. State service commissions also worked individually and together to forge strong and meaningful partnerships with organizations to best utilize scarce resources including nationalnonprofits (City Year, Communities In Schools, America's Promise) CNS state offices and other national service supported organizations. States have taken the initiative to build a stronger national service field and are well-positioned help to move it forward and further prove the value ofgiving through their time and talents for the good of humanity. 4 �•• < Specific Recommendations on Principles • All Americans should have equal opportunity to give back through a quality volunteer experience so that they can learn that they can make a genuine and meaningful difference in someone's life. A national call for universal opportunity is needed for the nation's volunteers. No real survey had been conducted that conclusively and accurately describes how niany of the nation's 272 million population actively volunteer. We do know that if a national mandate calling for 10% of the U.S. population to serve their community every month would potentially dwarf the documented number of citizens engaged in concentrated volunteer service through the nation's National Service programs. The nation's leaders must continue to focus the attention of American's on the power of volunteering through fmancial commitments, national recognition and individual behavior Encourage release time to all working Americans to serve their communities. In the limited surveying conducted to date of Americans to determine why they do and do not volunteer, one of the reasons most often noted as a barrier is time available outside of work and family. As part of their corporate citizenship, many workplaces should offer 8 hours of release time per year for American workers to volunteer in their community. This time could be devoted to helping a senior get out into the community, tutoring a child in school, helping at a local shelter or helping out a local family in need. State and federal governments could encourage release time among their public employees and sponsor statewide activities that encourage and recognize exemplary volunteer efforts. Integrate hands-on opportunities for young people to learn the expectation of giving back and learning through experiential education and service opportunities where lessons in the real world are tied to the mandated outcomes of the school curriculum. State and local boards of education can institutionalize policies that promote service and service-learning as meaningful and effective methods of educating our nation's students while instilling our basic democratic values. The current federal support of $43 million for Learn & Serve programming should be increased to $50 million to provide a minimum of $1 million in federal support to each state to advance service and learning in the K-12 and higher education systems. The National Commission on Service-Learning is taking on the issue of improving learning and community life through service. It seeks to make specific recommendations on how education can be made more real for America's students. Headed up by former Senator John Glenn, this blue ribbon commission includes a number of the nation's experts in service and education (see www.learningindeed.org for more details). • Adequate, flexible and non-duplicative financial and human resources from the federal government should be leveraged by states for local communities and community-based organizations to develop stable and enduring volunteer 5 �.. • service infrastructure (resources, technical support, coordination, etc.) that demonstrates a substantial investment in a community problem solving model. States should provide resources for communities to have readily accessible places for individuals to engage in National Service and volunteer opportunities either through face-to-face communication or via electronic media. Former Michigan Governor George Romney called for volunteer centers to be as common and as recognizable as the Post Office. This dream can become a reality by annually providing $200 million in federal funds to states for State Endowed Resource Volunteer (SERV) grants that would provide one dollar in federal support for every state dollar permanently endowed. The endowments would provide every citizen in that state, access to a quality volunteer experience. These funds would build a multi-million dollar national pool of resources that is guaranteed to incr~ase as the endowments grow and thereby over time, decreasing the dependence of states and local communities on federal support. Current levels of National Service funding should be doubled. The current investment of$767.4 million in federal support for National Service must continue and increase. While some economies can be realized through some limited reorganization of CNS, the overall investment is only marginally adequate to build effective, sustainable and meaningful volunteer opportunities. CNS funding should provide states with the flexibility and freedom to innovate that other federal agencies have adopted. The federallyfunded Juvenile Justice programs require state commission to administer funds and make funding decisions. These commissions are able to submit plans to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) that state how states propose to use the funds. Plans include strategies for achieving goals, state priorities for the year and plan for administering the resources. Oversight is focused on the goals and the stewardship of the funds. The OJJDP does not determine to which organizations or how the federal funds are sub granted as CNS does currently. The OJJDP model provides states the maximum flexibility while requiring the greatest level of accountability-states must do what they say they will do. CNS funding regulations regarding the many different streams of service, portability of education awards and special initiatives need to be changed and streamlined. States are often faced with contrary regulations regarding the use and allocation of National Service funding. AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps VISTA, Learn & Serve America funding streams have been slice and segregated leading to duplication of resources and uncoordinated allocation of scarce resources. In addition, the annual appropriation to states is often tied to national interests of the Administration rather than on the needs of individual states and their communities (Bridging the Digital Divide, America Reads and Summer of Safety funding mandates are prime examples). CNS funding streams should be focused and specific in their allocation, but broad and flexible in their regulation to offer states the room they need to innovate and collaborate while ensuring the integrity of the allocation of the funds. 6 �.. • Some Corporation for National Service State Offices (separate offices of CNS located in each state) have recommended the transfer of many of the grant making, program review, and administrative functions now concentrated at CNS headquarters to the Service Centers (regional CNS offices), CNS state offices and state service commissions. This would enable state commissions to become more closely aligned with other CNS entities within states and regions. The current system, exercised by CNS at all level of programming and administration, cannot continue to receive large increases in appropriations from Congress earmarked exclusively for grants and more National Service members while continuing to withhold administrative support funds. • States and local communities should be empowerecL to help engage their citizens· in meaningful, effective and sustainable volunteer service. AmeriCorps has advanced and increased the interest of citizens to serve their communities and should continue. More than 400,000 American's have served through AmeriCorps. This is ten times more citizens than the Peace Corps has been able to recruit during its 30-year tenure. Millions of hours of volunteer service have been provided through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, Learn & Serve and AmeriCorps*VISTA. The average AmeriCorps member alone leverages an additional 10 volunteers in addition to their direct service activities. This "volunteer generation" model will help sustain volunteer initiatives into the future. While the majority of the funding for AmeriCorps and other National Service programs comes from the federal government, local communities make the programs relevant. Their matching resources, locally identified needs and comprehensive national service plans prove that communities are committed to making National Service programs work for them. Resources from CNS to states must reflect the need of local communities. Current levels of federal support are far too low for the amount oversight, training and coordination required. In order to obtain maximum results of all CNS funding including funds earmarked for training, technical assistance, administration, programming and partnership building, we recommend that CNS distribute these funds evenly across funding streams and channel them through states rather than through national, regional and community specific routes as the existing system prescribes. The scope and opportunity of National Service programs must be broadened. In order to attract members from diverse backgrounds, skills, abilities, and age groups to National Service, it is essential that CNS have a mix of full-time, part-time and reduced part-time member opportunities available. The outreach and education activities to attract members must be improved to attract full- and part-time students regardless of age, full- and part-time workers, and the retired members of our society to participate in some form of National Service and or related efforts. 7 �.... < • All sectors of society including government, education, businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith-based institutions and civic organizations should ban together to envision, create, and sustain community problem solving models that utilize volunteers as their primary resource. States should be empowered to utilize their comprehensive state service plans where they convened key organizations and institutions to develop state and local plans to most effectively address community challenges through national service and volunteerism. As a requirement of CNS program and administrative funding, states have been required to develop comprehensive service plans. However, CNS has provided inadequate resources for state service commissions to implement these plans. CNS should provige -a base of $500,000 without match requirements to states for operation of the federally mandated service commissions and for implementation of the comprehensive service plans. In addition, CNS should provide an additional administrative support funds to all states on a $1 to $1 match basis with a $20 million/per state cap. CNS can and should develop more collaborative arrangements with federal departments. Current, CNS has not developed strong inter-governmental relationships that includes the U.S. Department of Education and other community based organizations that would enable greater responsiveness to the myriad challenges facing our Nation that are related to K-12 through Higher Education and adult learning arena. This would be especially useful in expanding the exposure of students and teachers to the utility and power of service-learning. • Local, state and national leaders should demonstrate their support for volunteerism through personal action for the common good and by advancing principle-centered public policy that encourages national and community service. America's leaders must themselves demonstrate their individual commitment to serving others by engaging in significant public volunteer opportunities that demonstrate the types of behavior they would like other American's to emulate. National leaders should continue to utilize every opportunity to highlight and recognize exemplary volunteer efforts of citizens including the Points of Light Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards, state recognition programs hosted by governors, and promotion of national days of service including Make A Difference Day. The nation's leaders need to do more than provide funds and recognize the efforts of others-they must demonstrate their commitment by giving and serving. 8 �... Why Service Works Service solves problems Service and volunteerism to communities and to individuals are the most enduring and impactful methods of meeting the challenges our citizens face every day. Volunteer efforts also build communities and connect our citizens in a common belief that we must all give back to the people around us and the places where we live. Together, individual American's have demonstrated that their efforts of selflessness and determination have helped to weave an intricate, yet informal, system of support for all Americans. From the docent at the local museum to the young person who devotes a year of their life to national service, volunteerism is at the center of our nation's social fabric. Service has local impact regardless of the hype Daily, thousands of American's show their capacity for giving and caring in large and small ways including middle school students tutoring younger students as they engage in service-learning as part of a Learn & Serve America program, seniors delivering meals through a RSVP program, devoting a year to AmeriCorps, businesses and government making local commitments of people and money to the goals of America's Promise, volunteering time through a Volunteer Center, giving and volunteering to a United Way campaign and so many more. These efforts are documented through the Points of Light Foundation's Daily Points of Light Awards program that receives many of its nominations from volunteer centers working with governors and state commissions. Some of the aforementioned initiatives have become politicized over the past decade with the advancement of AmeriCorps during the Clinton Administration. This politicization has lead to some questioning as to the validity of the work of those involved with national service programs. Yet, on its face, national service and the volunteers it helps to generate and support is neither a liberal nor conservative initiative and is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue. Service and volunteerism are shared beliefs that cut across the political and social spectrums and should be supported and evaluated on their merits and not on political grounds. Governors across the nation are committed to the power of service and volunteerism and have twice publicly affirmed their support for National Service as a nonpartisan method of getting things done. Through the National Governor's Association, the states' chief executives laid out a document of principles in their human resources policy HR-24 (see attached). This document has helped to craft strategies all across the nation and represents the best practices of our nation's states. Governors have demonstrated, through their creativity and innovation, that they are uniquely positioned to both assess and address local issues by leveraging public and private resources to create thoughtful approaches to community problem solving. More recently, 49 Governors demonstrated their belief in federal support for local volunteer initiatives in their signing of an open letter to the U.S. Congress requesting the reauthorization of the 1993 National and Community Service Trust Act. This letter, initiated by former Governor Racicot, shows the universal and nonpartisan support for national service. National Service is a tremendous vehicle for channeling local energy into an even greater force for community problem solving and serves to effectively match federal resources with local communities. While national service is no panacea, it is a powerful and proven tool for promoting and supporting individual action toward a more civil society. 9 �._ . National Service programs successfully leverage both human and financial resources-a model that is unique among federally supported programs. Service is part of healthy communities and more civil societies Daily acts of kindness (service and volunteer efforts) exist in part because of the philanthropic acts of individuals but is supported, fostered and recognized within a system that is unique to America. Some refer to this system as the independent sector. Others call is the social sector, while some see these actions to be the workhorse of the nonprofit community. This system is the local, state, and national infrastructure of Volunteer Centers, governor-appointed state commissions on service, United Ways, National Service programs, nonprofit associations, and the tens of thousands of charitable organizations that rely on volunteer service to help those in need. Whatever labels we use, service and volunteerism are vital components of that system and to a healthy community overall. Through the efforts of the current National Service Infrastructure, alliances have been built and strengthened at the national, state, and local levels. America's Promise began in Philadelphia in 1997. With the assistance of the federal, state and local governmental agencies, in partnership with private organizations at each level, small rural communities in many states that did not participate in the Philadelphia Summit are now "Communities of Promise." This would not be the case without the efforts of the alliances formed in support of National Service. At the core of our republic's democratic values is the belief that a free, just and civil society is built upon individuals and groups participating and contributing to the good of the whole. American's are demonstrating daily the principle that through neighbor helping neighbor, and through each of our taking responsibility for the other, local communities become stronger economically, morally, and spiritually. Our nation's volunteers demonstrate how valid these principles are today. Robert Putnam (author of Bowling Alone) calls this type of action our nation's "social capital" noting that our nonprofit organizations work to weave our individual citizens into a connected tapestry of support for communities across our nation. Putnam assesses and analyzes a myriad of data to correctly conclude that the strength of our nation is directly related to our deposits of social capital--the investment American's place in their communities through their involvement and caring. Volunteers are at the very center of social capital and provide nonprofit organizations, and communities in general, their most valuable resource-people. Service is growing, but too slowly for the times in which we live More and more, the communities of today are calling for a renewed sense of civic engagement and increases in the level of local involvement on the part of our nation's citizens. Communities are seeking counteracting forces to the "disconnectedness" we see in our youth, working families and seniors. Our nation is looking for ways to counter the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Columbine Shooting. Our nation needs the good deeds of individuals during unforeseen tragedies like Hurricane Andrew and the San Francisco Earthquake. Our nation needs the giving spirit of the millions of seniors who mentor young children and the thousands of companies that contribute their workforce to address local challenges. These efforts need to continue and require both public and private support. 10 �., . .. The National Governor's Association (NGA) policy on National and Community Service HR 24- National and Community Service 24.1 Preamble Under the leadership of the nation's Governors, states and localities have played a preeminent role in leading a renewed national commitment to civic renewal in this country through national service and volunteerism. Across the states, men, women, and children are working together to meet many of the nation's pressing social and environmental needs and are vital resources in solving some of its most difficult problems. The Governors recognize the role that community service and volunteers play in meeting the enormous challenges facing the nation while working to connect citizens through service. They applaud those individuals and recognize their personal commitment to improving the lives of others. This spirit of civic renewal is an essential unifying component of the fabric of the nation. The Governors also believe that community service programs provide substantial opportunities and benefits to both the providers and those who are served, Citizens who participate in these programs develop new skills and have an opportunity to make a personal connection with their own communities while giving assistance to individuals and communities, often during critical times of need. 24.2 Principles The Governors build, support, and promote public-private partnerships to promote an ethic of service that encourages citizens to serve in meaningful ways that reflect the real needs of communities, states, and the nation. The Governors remain steadfast in their desire to continue their work to strengthen a national service network that is guided by the following principles. • • • • • Promote a strong partnership among federal, state, and local governments, as well as the volunteer, philanthropic, education, and business communities, to emphasize the importance of building connections among citizens to combat isolationism and promote community wide involvement. Recognize the multitude of related federal, state, and local programs and seek to streamline and integrate such programs into a comprehensive network. Encourage creativity and diversity among service programs so that citizens of all ages have the opportunity to participate. Assist in enabling individuals and programs to achieve their goals. Support ensuring that the nation's future is stewarded by individuals who, while in their youth, were granted access to fundamental and vital resources, including an ongoing mentoring relationship with a caring adult, a safe place and structured activities to live and grow, a healthy start, marketable skills through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through their own service to their communities. Utilize the unique flexibility of national and volunteer service mechanisms, including state service commissions, to build an ethic of service to community among citizens of all ages. Based on these principles, the Governors offer the following recommendations. 12 �'. 24.3 Recommendations The Governors recommend that the federal government recognize the key state role in national and community service in the following ways. • • • Recognize the key role that Governors and states play in promoting and providing service opportunities. Provide states with the flexibility to act as the primary facilitator of programs to ensure coordination, public-private cooperation, and sustained resources. Continue to foster and support gubernatorial leadership in involving interested people and organizations, including nonprofit, faith-based, philanthropic, and community-based organizations, the private sector, and others, in developing statewide strategies for community problem solving through service and volunteerism. 24.4 Federal-State-Local Partnership The Governors recommend that the federal government take the following steps. • • • • • • Provide federal support for state and local service programs with maximum flexibility and a minimum of federal procedures or regulations. Ensure that all federal support for community service and volunteer programs pass through a gubernatorially appointed state-level service commission or other state agency as deemed appropriate by the Governor. Make funds available for states and localities to encourage innovative proposals to leverage state, private, and nonprofit resources, including in-kind contributions. Provide points of focus at the state and federal levels to disseminate information about service and volunteer programs to assist state and local governments and groups, individuals, and nonprofit organizations. Collect, evaluate, and disseminate information on model programs to promote citizen and organizational involvement in community service and volunteerism. Allocate federal funds to states for demonstration initiatives that provide Governors the flexibility and opportunity to showcase innovative models that work to solve community problems through service and volunteerism. The Governors believe strongly in the value of community service in that it benefits both the provider and the recipient while creating connections for individuals to their respective communities. They want to provide all citizens with a variety of flexible opportunities that will enable them to contribute to their community throughout their lives.

(Helena, Mont.)- In an extraordinary show of bipartisan support, 49 of the nation's governors, including George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, today sent a letter urging Congress to renew AmeriCorps and other national service programs before this congressional session ends. ,·_-. ~) --~-- --· - · - .... ·--,M~ :J·r~':-- '... ·:_ ,_;; _ t:_.~~ • .~ -.~ ' :'.::.~;~·7~';-- . -· ··" F --·~ :.' · :: ,.:.7r.: (........_.._:_ c./;;:_ 't;._"-;.,.~ '7."'-.J":r_, /''~ ... ~~-- ~-~ ·t ~,;J>t·~~-;---- "The nation's governors have spoken and their message is clear: continue national service," said Governor Marc Racicot (R-MT), who led the bipartisan effort. "It is rare for governors to unite so completely around a single issue, and I hope Congress will listen to the nation's governors and act quickly to extend this successful investment in our country's future." r-1.~ ;:~,~~~X '1~L The letter urges passage of the National and Community Service Amendments Act, introduced in Clickhcrcr•w>~dth<l<llcr the Senate (S. 2764) by Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and James Jeffords (R-VT), and passed by the Senate HELP Committee on July 21. Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) introduced a companion bill in the House (H.R. 4740), which now has 100 co-sponsors. The bill, which is a White House priority, would reauthorize the Corporation for National Service and extend AmeriCorps and other national service programs administered by the Corporation for the next five years. Governors from 49 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands each individually signed the letter of support, saying: "We have seen the progress of young people inspired by older students, the importance of trained hands helping after a disaster, and the pride of a senior sharing his or her time with a child in need of mentoring ... As Governors, we recognize the value of national service as a tool in meeting important needs in our states. We do not want to lose this force for good in our communities, states, and country." Since AmeriCorps' inception in 1994, bipartisan support for the program . http://www.nationalservice.org/news/pr/92000.html - 12/27/2000 �has grown considerably. Many tanner cntics ot AmenCorps are now supporters-including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rep. John Kasich (ROH). Colin Powell recently expressed his hope for reauthorization, saying, "I'm confident that it will be reauthorized. I have been speaking very strongly in favor of it. I've become a great, great fan of the Corporation for National Service." In addition to AmeriCorps, the Corporation for National Service oversees the National Senior Service Corps, which engages 500,000 older Americans in service, and Learn and Serve America, which supports service-learning efforts that teach citizenship and academic skills to more than one million students. ### http://www.nationalservice.org/news/pr/92000.html 12/27/2000 �Page 1 of2 l h\· f li.lt:~.·s~\bl ...• 1n nt L,_•11 \ Lli(.•rit~ LC".&J'-"1 Ct,lt<J Sl.llt'~ 11~c ti.IIIP!':!hl~ nhllll.l.'< .. , s.::;u. rhc Corirnl W;uhmgti.m.l>.\..

All grantees will be expected to meet the match requirement for their given year of funding. If a ~ o.& PF'IIfjTrOON f1ECYCLEcDP-._P[P �grantee has been a recipient of previous Michigan's AmeriCorps funding, that funding would . count when determining the match requirement. For example, if"Agency A", which is not a current grantee applied for AmeriCorps funding for the 2001 - 2002 year and had previously received 3 years ofMichigan's AmeriCorps funding, they would~need to provide the match level of a Year 4 program. Implementation of the Plan The new match requirements will be phased in over the next three years (FY 2000- 2003) beginning with the 2000-01 program year. Programs operating in the first three years would be required to meet the match requirement specific to their current year of funding. Programs that have been in existence for more than three years will be required to meet the Year 4 match requirement for the 2000- 2001 program year. Each year, programs will advance to the next level of match requirement until they reach the Year 7 and beyond requirement. Waiver If a program is not able to meet the match requirement for a given program year, that program may request a waiver. A program may apply for a waiver as part of their application to the MCSC. Applicants will need to provide justification for the waiver. The MCSC will have the right to approve or deny the waiver based on the program's justification. The waiver allows MCSC to support a program that may have extenuating circumstances that prevent it from meeting the match requirement. The board will review and decide each waiver on a case-by-case basis. The MCSC received a request from the Creston Neighborhood Association for a waiver. The Creston Neighborhood Association has received three years of funding to operate an AmeriCorps Program. They are currently requesting funds for a fourth year. As part of their request they have asked that their match level for Categories B - F remain at 33% rather than increase to 50% under the new Michigan's AmeriCorps match requirements. The MCSC staff reviewed Creston's request and has asked them to provide some additional information by April27, 2001. Since we will receive this information after the executive committee meeting and we must submit the formula application package including the Creston Neighborhood Association application to the Corporation for National Service on May 15 1\ the staff make the following recommendation: StaQ"Recommendation The staff requests that the board authorize the staff to review and approve or deny the Creston Neighborhood Association request to waive the 50% match requirement based on the parameters determined by the executive committee and the written response of the applicant.

How will the MCSC deal with these exciting changes and what opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainability exist in this new future? Starting to form the answers to these questions, in light of the strategic planning that has been presented to the members by staff, is our charge for this planning retreat. Day One - Perspectives on Transitions 2:45p.m. Russ Mawby will give an overview and introduce our facilitator, Alice Buhl Views from the National Service Perspective Over 65% of the MCSC's funding comes from Corporation for National Service to support national service programs including ArneriCorps, Learn & Serve Michigan (service-learning), and Promise Fellows (working on America's Promise). The Bush Administration has demonstrated its commitment to national service by ensuring that full funding for the Corporation for National Service remains part of the President's Budget as well as entrusting some of the work of his Faith Based Initiative with ArneriCorps. What are priorities of this administration and how will they impact the work of the MCSC? �The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism.

Small group discussions (20 min.) Small groups will report back with questions and comments (20 min.) 3:45p.m Break Views from the Statewide Volunteerism Perspective Over the past 18 months, Michigan has taken on the task of ensuring permanent support for volunteerism in Michigan by forming the ConnectMichigan Alliance and providing long-term support through a $20 million endowment fund. Four organizations agreed to devote their energies to building this support structure. Now, what does the future look like in this new reality? What will the MCSC do differently given this new paradigm? 4:00p.m ConnectMichigan Alliance/context with overview (Felt board exercise) with Kyle Caldwell who will introduce John Lore, CEO of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Ed Blews, Chair of ConnectMichigan Alliance, Sam Singh, CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (30 min.). Small group discussions (30 min.)

While in office, no other Michigan Governor has demonstrated as much support for the nonprofit sector and the volunteers that make up the workforce for this sector than John Engler. No other First Lady has demonstrated a willingness and ability to lead, as has our own Michelle Engler. Their efforts have produced one of the nation's first state commissions on service, the nation's only state-funded volunteer resource center endowment grant, a host of national service programs, a premiere volunteer recognition program and a series of meetings and conferences to discuss how government can do its work better for our state's volunteer sector. Finally, through their championing the work of the MCSC, the Michigan Legislature has provided its support through codifying legislation and annual appropriations of $2 million in state funding. �" The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Views from the State Political Perspective (continued) Soon, these supporters will be gone due to term limits. After November of 2002, no member of the Michigan House of Representatives will have been in office when the MCSC was formed. The Governor and First Lady will not have the name Engler and the Senate will have only a handful of members returning from the previous body. How can the MCSC maintain it relationships with key officials and how can it ensure support from the next Governor and Legislature for Michigan's volunteer sector? 8:00p.m. Michelle Engler will introduce guest speakers for evening program- Bill Ballenger from Inside Michigan Politics and William Rustem from Public Sector Consultants. (30 min. Q & A) 9:30p.m. Program ends. End of Day One. I-~ 2001 �• The MCSC is dedicated to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. Tuesday, September 11, 2001 Day Two - Reflections and Commitments Armed with the opinions and evidence from the experts AND in light of the strategic plan adopted last year, what are the next steps for the MCSC? How should it communicate its purpose? Should the MCSC do business differently? If so, how? If not, why? What should the short (12 months) and long (five years) goals of this organization be in light of these facts? What can each commissioner, staff member and friend do to support Michigan's Volunteers now and into the future? 7:00a.m.- 8:00a.m. Breakfast Buffet in the Dining Room and checkout of rooms (Check-out is Noon but no other time) Reflections -What did I learn?
