�4 The Maine Commission for Community Service is
celebrating 10 Years of public leadership and support in
Maine’s volunteer sector. The Commission fosters
collaboration among state agencies, colleges, universities,
federal agencies, and community volunteer programs by
serving as convener of organizations with common interests
and catalyst for action on volunteer service initiatives.
Symposium Goals.
1.
Engage in a very interactive process that permits Maine’s strategic thinkers to
consider what aspects of the Voluntary Sector Initiative might strengthen
Maine’s community volunteer sector.
2.
Learn about the Voluntary Sector Initiative from key Canadian leaders:
•
What was the context and motivation for the VSI partners?
•
What are the key points of the Accord and Codes of Best Practice?
•
What effect has the VSI process and its products had on relations
between the voluntary sector and Canadian government and the
capacity of each to fulfill common goals?
•
What lessons have been learned through the experience of
implementation?
3.
Explore (in small group discussions) how the provincial volunteer sector and
government work in 5 areas: environment, housing, literacy/education, public
safety, and elder services. What best practices align with the Codes?
4.
By reflecting on case studies from Newfoundland, Labrador, and New
Brunswick, examine the possible benefits, challenges, and opportunities of
developing a Maine initiative that incorporates aspects of the VSI Codes.
4 Canada’s Voluntary Sector Initiative (VSI) is a “co-managed
experiment at building a working relationship between the
federal [Canadian] government and the voluntary sector” which
led to signing of an Accord between the two sectors and
establishment of six joint work groups focused on specific
areas: policy dialog, funding, information management and
technology, government regulations, volunteer sector capacity, and awareness. The
Accord articulates the common values of both sectors, identifies principles for
implementing the accord, and outlines the commitments by both to actions aimed at
strengthening the partnership. The results of work by two groups produced “Codes of
Practice” which implement the accord and take the government-voluntary sector
relationship to a new level of partnership.
Why are the Commission and its partners convening this symposium?
The Maine volunteer sector is an essential part of every sustainable community.
Through volunteer organizations and programs, citizens connect with each other,
solve problems, and donate their time in order to stretch limited public and private
financial resources. Yet, it is not formally recognized as a sector in public discussion
or planning. Its identity and issues are subsumed under the category of “nonprofit”.
The voluntary sector in Canada is not synonymous with the non-profit sector. It has
been recognized as a distinct segment of community organizations. It is similar to
businesses in Maine’s “creative economy” that are a part of the private sector, but
grapple with issues not necessarily addressed by the dominant business community.
The Voluntary Sector Initiative is rooted in the 2001 United Nations International
Year of Volunteers. From 1999 to 2002, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom,
and the Republic of Ireland convened initiatives to strengthen the relationship
between each country’s government and its voluntary sector. These Initiatives were
happening at the same time the concepts of social capital and civic engagement were
emerging as themes in the United States.
Canada has gone the furthest with implementation among the countries that
undertook the process. The Maine Commission for Community Service hopes to
spark discussion about differentiating the volunteer sector and the larger nonprofit
sector by exploring the 5-year experience of our Canadian neighbors with their help.
Who Should Come?
4 Volunteer and nonprofit organizational leadership
4 Government representatives who fund volunteer programs or rely on volunteers
to accomplish mission-related services
4 Lawmakers, regulators, and civic leaders (towns, counties, and the State)
4 Private grantmakers, foundations, and corporate donation managers
4 University and College faculty with special interests in nonprofits, social capital,
community development
Preparation.
Participants are strongly urged to read 3 short documents: the Accord and both Codes
of Best Practice. We will send an email link to everyone who registers. If you wish
to explore the Voluntary Sector Initiative more thoroughly, visit
www.MaineServiceCommission.gov or www.VolunteerMaine.org where there will
be a link to the Canadian site.

American Marketing Association
Detroit Chapter
Michigan’s Promise: The Alliance for Youth
Cause Related Marketing and the Future of (the Marketing) Industry
Premise
The long-term future of any industry depends on the talents, resources, dedication and
attitudes that are formed in our youth today.
What we know about youth?
Poverty rates among youth are down.
Drop out rates among youth are down.
However,
Some drug use among youth is down, but all types of new forms of use are up.
Children living in single parent households are up.
Child obesity is up at a staggering rate.
In Detroit, we know that:
1. 35% of young people live in poverty;
2. 60% of young people live in a household where no adult holds a full-time job; and
3. 30% of young people are living with a head of the household who does not have a
high school diploma.
(Annie E. Casey Foundation)
What we know about youth and their abilities, habits and interests.
1. Young people are more media savvy than the youth of one or two generations ago
and media play an even more important role in their day-to-day lives.
2. Young people go more for the tangible and immediate than the intangible and
long-term. They are career focused, but want stimulation over stability.
3. Young people are interested in solving problems, getting engaged in community
and volunteering. However they are not interested as much in voting and
participation in traditional civic organizations.
What we know about meeting youth needs.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Youth with a caring adult in their lives see a future for themselves
Youth with a safe place to live and learn have a better sense of stability
Youth with a quality education have greater opportunities in the future
Youth with a healthy start including access to health care and health education
participate in good health habits later in life.
5. Youth giving back through a positive early experience in service and
volunteering are more likely to continue the experience as a habit later in life.
�What can you do?
Focus on the next workforce and what they are looking for in a job or career.
Involve young people in your programs including the traditional internships and
scholarship programs.
Consider how your employees and counterparts in the workforce might engage in
volunteer activities targeted at youth.
Bring young people into your leadership and decision making by putting them on boards
and committees.

Interview Guide for Partners
Inter
Kyle Caldwell, Michigan Community Service Commission (335-4295)
Sam Singh, Michigan Nonprofit Association (492-2417)

Amy Smitter, Michigan Campus Compact (492-2424)
Kate Sperti and Mary Estrada, Connect Michigan Alliance (492-2440)
Discussion Guide
Tell me a bit about you and your organization's fit with CMA.
Past and present:
1. As Connect Michigan Alliance was being created, what were your thoughts about
its potential benefits?
2. What kinds of potential problems and barriers did you think it would face?
3. What specific assistance did you foresee the CMA offering your organization?
4. What roles of CMA have tended to boost your organization's capacity and
effectiveness?
5. What if any roles of CMA have tended to confuse stakeholders about its mission
and your organization's mission?
6. Are there any areas in which CMA's development has tended to weaken your
organization's effectiveness?
7. Do you sense that CMA has brought new stakeholders, funders, and beneficiaries
to your organization? Can you be specific?
8. How do you size up: (1) the chemistry among heads of partner organizations, (2)
chemistry between you and CMA leadership and staff, (3) the ability to clarify
ambiguities about CMA's mission vis a vis your organization's mission, and (4)
how differences of opinion get resolved among partner organizations and between
them and CMA.
Future:
9. With the $20 million endowment goal now within reach, what becomes CMA's
most important goals?
10. Can you identify the three or four groups of people who become CMA's primary
audience?
11. From your personal and organization's standpoint, are there new directions that
you'd like CMA to take.
12. Similarly, should there be consideration of changing in any way the roles and
activities currently carried out by CMA?
�13. Is the balance being handled well between a statewide focus on volunteerism and
local/community needs?
14. Are there, geographically, specific regions or communities that should be
receiving more attention?
15. Are there specific client/customer/beneficiary groups that should be receiving
more attention?
16. If, three years from now, you can proudly cite three major accomplishments of
CMA, what would they be (pretend that you're writing a newspaper column in
2006 about CMA's impact)?
17. What communications products, devices, and means would enhance CMA's
support for your organization?
18. Do you believe that any changes should occur within CMA's (a) governance, (b)
management, and (c) spending priorities?
19. To what extent should there be a clearer focus and delineation of roles among
advocacy, public sector grant making, nonprofit sector grant making, volunteer
recruitment, coordination (statewide and local) of volunteers' activities,
engagement of young people (especially college students) in civic action?
20. What key groups (statewide and local) have been missing as partners?
21. Does the grassroots of your organization feel that it has a connection to and
receive help from CMA?
Is there anything that I haven't covered that merits consideration in strategic planning?
�October 15,2003
Connect Michigan Alliance
Strategic Planning
Overriding Issues
1. Finish the fundraising
a. We could live with amount raised to date
b. Perhaps John would like more help to reach the goal
2. Preserve and protect current features
a. "Golden handcuffs" are healthy
b. Very high level of mutual trust
c. Some feeling of competition, touchiness, and oversensitivity to using
shared staff and stepping on toes, but congeniality and collegiality very
strong
d. Efficient use of space and staff (e.g., conference planning and execution)
e. Cross-program communications very healthy (hub). "Single goal of
volunteerism is driving force."
f. Some fear that a different CEO would lack consensus and partnership
building skills of John
g. Individual voices are not submerged
h. "Best place I've ever worked. Conflict-free. Open. Honest. Advice easily
shared. Get a lot of help." "Fabulous—people work great together."
"Amazing chemistry; great openness; not very much turf protection."
i. Has brought new players and leaders to our efforts and eased gubernatorial
transition
j. Maintain strong advocacy from outside government
3. After the fundraising goal is achieved
a. Support to local efforts is highest priority
b. Interactivity among locals to be enhanced
c. Thorough needs assessment of local programs
d. Should enhance inventory of local services
e. Continuity in/expansion of strong, committed political, corporate, and
philanthropic leaders (maintain and expand high profile)
f. Draw in fresh blood in volunteerism. Stronger links to K-12, college kids,
young college graduates, and seniors
g. More support to rural areas (e.g., UP)
h. Stress "movement" and not "organization"—need strong street person to
create perception of volunteerism as a universal expectation. A strong
sound bite is missing.
i. Technology (aggressive electronic, flyers, displays, common rolodex,
vibrant web sites, etc.)
j. Diversifying funding (expand corporate giving)
�k. Justify return-on-investment
1. Enhanced training at local level
m. Detroit program leader
4. Next steps
a. Retreat, with each organization's leader bringing 1-3 stakeholders, to
discuss priorities, strategies, and timelines
b. Continuity in leadership (life after John)

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 statewide 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 compact 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 (Michigan
Community Service Commission) . Separate, but working in collaboration , these
organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure-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 . At 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 volunteers.
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 greatest potential when they
become vehicles to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve
problems. That is why the ConnectMichigan Alliance 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 inserled 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 Michigan'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
�Putting it All in Context
Mission
The ConnectMichigan Alliance will promote life-long community service and civic
engagement though the support of community-building initiatives. It will
strengthen the point of connection between those who want to help and those
who need assistance.

All around us we are reminded that what challenges individuals and communities
the most can be traced back to how and whether individuals interact-connect.
It is our "disconnectedness" that allows us to turn a blind eye to the challenges
in our communities. It is the easy with which we go to work and to school and
return home without interacting with our neighbors that promotes our
sequestering . Neighbor not understanding neighbor, adults not understanding
children , faiths not tolerating other faiths , and cultures not living with other
cultures are all fed by our inability to connect.
"Shooting at Columbine ... Elderly die in their homes during heat wave ... suicide
.. .theft ... abuse ... How many of us wish we'd hear some "good news" for a
change? While the evening news illustrates the depth of our disconnection
every day, we find equally compelling examples of our ability to reconnect
through service.
"I had a Teens in Training this summer who was on probation. He ended up
being the top teen of the summer and volunteered 258 hours. I recently
received a call from him thanking me for the program because it proved to him
that a group of teens could work together to make our community a better, safer
place to be. He is still on probation , but his relationship with his parents has
significantly improved , as have his outlook on life and goals for the future . He
attributes this change in his attitude and behavior to the positive influence of
other teens in the Teens in Training program , and to the adult mentors at the
West Midland Family Center."
VCM AmeriCorps Member Lisa Bonnotto, 1999
ConnectMichigan Alliance: Tying Communities Together
More than 80% of Americans agree, "Disconnection is an underlying
characteristic of many of our social problems." And, more than 90% believe that
4
�"connecting with others and working together through volunteer seNice can
bridge the differences that separate people and help solve community
problems."
Jan, 1997 survey for POLF, conducted by Opinion
Research Corporation , Princeton, NJ
Concerned citizens joining forces can reclaim their neighborhoods, shepherd
their children , protect their elders, teach their peers, and - for all intensive
purposes - change the world. A visit to the Points of Light Foundation's web site,
http://www.pointsoflight.org , will introduce you to daily Points of Light: everyday
people giving of themselves to create positive change where it's needed. There
are many Michiganians in that proud company, lending support to our long-held
belief that our state is a place of caring and compassion .
While much time is spent focusing on the "disconnect" of individuals from society
in general , the ConnectMichigan Alliance addresses the disconnect on a
different level : the disconnect of those who want to be involved from those who
need assistance. Our mission: to promote life-long community service and civic
engagement through the support of community-building initiatives. Our goal : to
ensure that any citizen who wishes to be involved has the opportunity to do so.
Our vision : that community service, volunteerism and civic engagement become
engrained in the human ethic; that it becomes so integral to our culture that it
does not need a measure of distinction . While this initiative may be considered
lofty, ambitious and idealistic, it should also be considered necessary, and
entirely possible.
"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
Michigan leaders have long envisioned volunteerism as an important support
system for services and programs helping people throughout the state. The late
Governor George W . Romney had a passion for community, wh ich made him a
very effective leader and citizen . Governor Romney declared, "The most
powerful problem-solving force on earth is the organized voluntary cooperation
of a free people." Governor Romney was recognized nationally as a leader in
the volunteerism movement. He was the founder of the National Volunteer
Center, served as found ing trustee of the Points of Light Foundation and the
Michigan Nonprofit Association , and led the development of a number of
community volunteer centers in Michigan. The vision and work of Governor
Romney is the foundation on which Michigan has built an infrastructure to
5
�connect neighborhoods, communities, institutions, and the state through
volunteer service.
Continuing this legacy of leadership, the creation of the ConnectMichigan
Alliance is the natural next step in the evolution of community service in
Michigan. Created by the merger of the common programs of four existing
entities, the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan
(VCM) , Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) , and the Michigan Community
Service Commission (MCSC) , the ConnectMichigan Alliance will enhance the
statewide infrastructure supporting local community volunteer and service
efforts. Community service realizes its greatest potential when it becomes a
vehicle to connect people of differing and unique backgrounds to solve
problems. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will promote life-long community
service and civic engagement though the support of community-building
initiatives. It will strengthen the point of connection between those who want to
help and those who need assistance.
Creating Connections Through Community Service
The four organizations included in this new partnership currently provide
programs and services serving as the foundation of the ConnectMichigan
Alliance that have been thoughtfully considered and implemented to promote
civic responsibility statewide.
Michigan Campus Compact
Connecting College Students with their communities through Servicelearning
Mission
The mission of The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) is to promote a
commitment to community service and to foster a life-long service ethic in
students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and
service-learning opportunities for students while promoting academic and cocurricular programs and to advocate for public policies that encourage civic
responsibility.
Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) is an association of Michigan universities
and colleges that promotes citizenship by encouraging service experiences for
students.
These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of public responsibility
and community service. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around
them and take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved
with social problems and their solutions.
6
�Founded in 1989 as one of the nation's first state Campus Compacts, MCC
began as a three-year demonstration project funded by the W . K. Kellogg
Foundation. MCC entered its second phase of development in 1992, placing
emphasis on recruitment, retention , and membership services.
Today, programs such as MCC's Venture Grants, Faculty Fellows, Student
Community Action Network, Outstanding Student Service Awards, Community
Service-Learning Faculty Staff Awards, Institute on Service-Learning, Service
Leadership Camp, colloquiums, and recognition ceremonies for faculty and staff,
continues to provide and expand volunteerism in Michigan among college
students and campuses. These initiatives legitimize, honor, and prepare
campuses, students and faculty to become more civically engaged and servers
in their community, state and the world
Volunteer Centers of Michigan
Creating Opportunities for Local Community Connections
Mission
Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) is dedicated to mobilizing people and
resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems.
The Volunteer Centers of Michigan is part of the Volunteer Center National
Network working in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation to meet
volunteer needs in 450 communities nationwide. VCM is recognized as a
national leader in the Volunteer Center Movement and was the first to hire
dedicated staff. The organization achieves their mission by offering programs
and services that connect people with opportunities to serve, building capacity
for effective local volunteering, promoting volunteering, and participating in
strategic initiatives that mobilize volunteers to meet local needs.
VCM has 34 local community Volunteer Centers with many more in
development. These local programs impact volunteers by providing them with
volunteer opportunities matched to their skill and interest level, and impact
organizations by providing them with appropriate volunteers for theirs tasks. In
fact , Volunteer Centers are evolving in their attempts to create meaningful
community change by focusing their efforts around four core competencies:
1. Connect people with opportunities to seNe (seNes full community by
maintaining accurate and timely information)
2. Build the capacity for effective local volunteering (training, technical
assistance, and support to local nonprofits)
3. Promote volunteering (recruitment and recognition activities)
4. Participate in strategic initiatives (community problem-solving)
The statewide Volunteer Centers of Michigan provides technical assistance to
the local volunteer centers through retreats , training, funding , and consultation
7
�to strengthen their capacity to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities to their
communities.
Michigan Nonprofit Association
Increasing Nonprofit Capacity to Maximize Community Connections
Mission
The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mtsston is to promote the
awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the
cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state.
The Michigan Nonprofit Association represents and serves nonprofit
organizations located in rural communities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas
throughout Michigan.
The membership of the organization ranges from
nonprofits providing services to the homeless to arts councils. The numerous
affiliates and foundations belonging to the Michigan Nonprofit Association are
interested in the advancement of the nonprofit sector.
Funded, in part, by the Kellogg Foundation and the C.S. Matt Foundation, MNA
provides services and technical assistance to its members including conferences
and trainings designed to build organizational capacity, the provision of costeffective insurance coverage for nonprofit organization employees, public policy
updates, mini-grant funding to support volunteerism, and the annual
Compensation and Benefit Survey.
The Michigan Community Service Commission
Encouraging Community Connections to Find Community Solutions
Mission
The Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is dedicated to enabling
all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service
and volunteerism .
Governor Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission in 1991
by Executive Order. The organization serves as a grantmaker for local
programs administers national service programs including Learn and Serve
programs, and provides training for grantees.
Among the organization's programs and services is America's Promise: The
Alliance for Youth. Led by General Colin Powell since 1997, it is the goal of
America's Promise to recruit youth volunteers and provide America's youth with
the essential resources to become healthy and productive adults. Michigan's
Promise is the state's response to the national America's Promise effort.
8
�Launched in 1997, the Michigan's Promise program promotes services for
children .
MCSC also administers Make a Difference Day in Michigan. It is a day when
friends , relatives, neighbors, and co-workers join together with nonprofit
organizations, schools, local business and service organizations to take part in
projects to better their communities.
Michigan's Model: Connect Michigan Alliance
The ConnectMichigan Alliance will be funded , in large part, by an endowment
created to ensure long-term sustainability while supporting the development of
new and innovative programs to promote volunteerism and service-learning
throughout Michigan. The ConnectMichigan Alliance vision is to secure $20
million in endowment funds from two funding streams. The State of Michigan
has challenged the private sector to match $10 million to initiate an endowment
to continue Michigan's commitment to community service in perpetuity. The
endowment will provide the funds necessary to sustain administration, services
and programming at their current level to enhance and expand current programs
and services, and to develop new, innovative programs.
In a recently completed visioning process, opportunities were identified to further
the support and promotion of volunteerism and service throughout Michigan.
Two priorities were established for the ConnectMichigan Alliance:
1. The Connect Michigan Alliance will increase the organizational capacities of
existing statewide volunteer, community service, civic engagement, and
service-learning infrastructure organizations and local organizations as they
work together to address the increasing need for Michigan citizens to have
accessible opportunities to reconnect or remain connected with other
individuals in their communities; and
2. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will further reduce duplication of effort (a
process begun in 1995), creating a sustainable annual support system for
existing and developing volunteer and service-learning initiatives on both the
state and local levels, and prepare Michigan for potential changes in federal
programs that support volunteerism and service-learning.
The implementation and long term impact of the ConnectMichigan Alliance can
be illustrated as an inverse "stair step" approach which utilizes the expertise of
community, state, and national service organizations with the ultimate result and
end goal being the mobilization of individual citizens to enhance the quality of
life in communities throughout Michigan.
9
�Public Education Campaign
The ConnectMichigan Alliance will educate Michigan residents through the
development and implementation of state-wide public education campaigns
in partnership with state and local organizations. Public education initiatives
will be comprehensive in nature with emphasis on identifying issues and
opportunities, and recognition efforts on the part of individuals and
organizations throughout the state.
Resource Development
The Connect Michigan Alliance will enhance and expand the training and
technical assistance capacities of both MCC and VCM. The
ConnectMichigan Alliance will provide expanded resources in the form of
grants to local initiatives. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will also develop a
broad range of resource material for local communities in the areas of
volunteer development, service-learning programming , establishing and
nurturing collaborative
efforts, managing statistical
data, and volunteer
management, to name a
few.

enable the

••
ConnectMichigan Alliance
to enhance and expand
existing MCC and VCM
programs and services,
including grantmaking to
local volunteer centers, and
institutions of higher
learning as well as local
initiatives, enhancing the
technological capacity of volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout
the state, and providing opportunities for young people and families by
developing and implementing grant opportunities for youth initiatives.
Network Development
10
�The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. The
ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue and expand existing networks that
support association, discussion and training covering a broad base of topics
that relate to all organizations utilizing volunteers and conducting servicelearning initiatives. Network discussion will also facilitate the dialogue and
development of training , workshops and conferences focusing on specialized
needs of local and regional organizations. Another area of focus for the
ConnectMichigan Alliance will be the research and development of corporate
volunteer councils and statewide networks to support them.
Mobilization of People
This is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of the ConnectMichigan
Alliance ... to improve "connectedness" in communities throughout Michigan.
The ConnectMichigan Alliance will build upon existing initiatives, including
Make A Difference Day, Day of Caring and National Volunteer Week, to
provide opportunities for people and organizations to connect through
meaningful volunteerism and community service. Strategies will be
structured to engage entire communities in meaningful activation activities
designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness.
The ConnectMichigan Alliance will reduce administrative overhead and
duplication in existing statewide volunteer and service-learning initiatives. For
the first time, statewide volunteer and service-learning programs and services
for people of all ages will be housed under one roof .. . under one administration .
Conclusion
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
----- Margaret Mead
The leadership of Michigan envisions a day when a college student can learn
about the problems of homelessness in America by volunteering in a homeless
shelter, a physically challenged child can tutor a child who is struggling to learn
how to read , and a senior citizen can spend some time with a dying patient in a
Hospice program.
When people work together, they begin to work through their differences and
begin to build the shared understanding that assists in resolving conflicts. By
spanning the continuum of age, race, religion , and income level , the
ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue to strengthen our heritage and history,
creating a solution to the disconnect felt by many in our society.
11
�These challenging times demand that an organization step forward and provide
the leadership to initiate a new level of engagement and that organization is ...
the ConnectMichigan Alliance.

The ConnectMichigan AJiiance Campaign
A Case for· Support
"Ensuring Michigan 's Legacy of Volunteerism"
The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign will ensure the strength and stability of
Michigan 's volu nteer field. Through a $20 million endowment, the combined
forces of the Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Michigan Community Service
Commission (MCS C ), 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:
•
•
•
•
Access to a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan
resident,
having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service
among its students, faculty and staff
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 . · I
"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 our nonprofit "infrastructure. "
The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration
Major components of that infrastructure include a statewide 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 compact 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 (Michigan
Community Service Commission). Separate, but working in collaboration , these
organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure-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 . At 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 providing a
challenge grant to build the ConnectMichigan Alliance Endowment. This grant
provides up to $1 0 million that must be matched on a 1 to 1 basis by the private
sector no later than November of 2002 . The ConnectMichigan Alliance
Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly
builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan 's volunteers .
The 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
greatest potential when they become vehicles to connect people of differing and
unique backgrounds to solve problems. That is why the ConnectMichigan
Alliance Campaign will be supported and spear-headed 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.

�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 Michigan's volunteers, we must solidify the infrastructure of four existing
organizations through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months ,
Michigan 's foundations, corporations and individuals connected through a shared
commitment to service and volunteerism can help match our $10 million
challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan 's legacy of volunteerism.

�The Michigan Volunteer Alliance
"The Alliance"
An Overview
Prepared by the Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission,
the Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan
Draft-- June 21, 2000
Purpose:
The purpose of "The Alliance" is to centralize and stabilize state-level, volunteer and community
service programming efforts in a manner that ensures:
• long-term sustainability of volunteer efforts in Michigan,
• cost efficiencies through shared resources ; and
• improved support services to Michigan communities through expanded programs and funding
initiatives.
As part of an unique public/private joint venture, "The Alliance" will administer programming and
technical assistance currently administered by the Michigan Nonprofit Association and its affiliates
(Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan Campus Compact) and the Michigan Community
Service Commission. ''The Alliance" will continue to partner with additional organizations as
deemed appropriate. A private endowment, funded through public and private sources, will be
created to support "The Alliance" which will ensure its long-term stability.
As the state 's premiere volunteer and community service 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization, "The
Alliance" will consolidate the programmatic and administrative functions of the four partnering
organizations thereby reducing or eliminating duplication of efforts, consolidating and maximizing
financial and human resources, and uniting the state's volunteer and community service leadership
(see working committee list attached).
Funding:
A total of $20 million in endowment funds would be established with the corpus comprised of two
funding streams:
State: The State of Michigan made a one-time investment of $10 million toward an
endowment to continue its commitment to volunteerism as a communiry problem solving
mechanism in the state. This endowment would be managed by a private or community
foundation (new or existing) and would generate approximately $250,000 to $500,000
annually that would be allocated directly to ''The Alliance" for administrative and program
funding.
•
Private: An additional $10 million would be leveraged in match funds to the State
contribution which would be placed into the same private or community foundation
endowment fund. This additional $250,000 to $500,000 in interest income would enhance
''The Alliance" budget in Year two of its existence, bringing the annual budget of $1 million
for support of the state' s premiere volunteer organizations and initiatives.
�Background:
In the past decade, Michigan has seen the development of a number of statewide volunteer support
organizations that have been focusing on the promotion, support and advancement of volunteerism
and community service. The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) was developed in 1989 to
recognize the service contribution institutions of higher education were making to their
communities. A few months later, a small group of community based volunteer centers began the
Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). A year later, the Michigan Nonprofit Association CMNA)
(known then as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum) was developed to enhance the understanding of
the nonprofit sector including the advancement of philanthropy and volunteerism. Finally in 1991,
newly elected Governor John Engler created the Michigan Community Service Commission
(MCSC) and in 1994, the Michigan Legislature codified the MCSC in state law (PA219).
Over the years, all four organizations have worked coilaboratively with one another. In the mid1990's, both VCM and MCC entered into partnerships with the MNA. These partnerships have
strengthened all three organizations and have resulted in immense administrative savings. In
addition to the administrative savings, the programs and activities of all three organizations have
been enhanced by this unique partnership.
Recently, the MNA (and its affiliates) and the MCSC have made a concerted effort for a more
intentional and effective partnership. As the field of service continues to change and be challenged
by "outside influences," serious conversations between MNA and MCSC have occurred regarding
the need for a sustainable support system for existing and developing volunteer initiatives. Three
primary motivating factors - the need to provide well-rounded support services to the volunteerism
field; the desire not to duplicate services and programs; and the potential changes in federal
programs that support volunteerism - lead to a reasonable conclusion that we can be much more
effective as a unified front than as two separate entities. However, it is also acknowledged that
some activities/functions MUST remain separate - again, for the greater good of the field. What
seems to make the most sense is the development of a third entity that would absorb common
functions of MNA and MCSC, while maintaining its neutrality and program-focus. "The Alliance"

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:
•
•
•
•
Access to a strong and healthy volunteer center for every Michigan
resident,
having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service
among its students, faculty and staff
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 our nonprofit "infrastructure."
The Alliance: Genuine Collaboration
Major components of that infrastructure include a statewide 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 compact 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 (Michigan
Community Service Commission). Separate, but working in collaboration, these
organizations have combined to build a powerful force—infrastructure—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. At 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 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 no later than November of 2002. The ConnectMichigan Alliance
Endowment represents an unprecedented public/private partnership and truly
builds a long-term support mechanism for Michigan's volunteers.
The 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
greatest potential when they become vehicles to connect people of differing and
unique backgrounds to solve problems. That is why the ConnectMichigan
Alliance Campaign will be supported and spear-headed 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.
�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 Michigan's volunteers, we must solidify the infrastructure of four existing
organizations through the ConnectMichigan Alliance. For the next 24 months,
Michigan's foundations, corporations and individuals connected through a shared
commitment to service and volunteerism can help match our $10 million
challenge. We must work together to ensure Michigan's legacy of volunteerism.

Report Prepared for:
Dr. Russell G. Mawby
Impact on Southeastern Michigan
iL
.^Cj/W
r
o
January 10, 2001
�Michigan Campus Compact
Purpose: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) promotes educational citizenship by helping campuses
encourage service-learning experiences, which develop students' sense of civic responsibility. MCC
members believe that direct contact with social problems and efforts to solve them allows students to
reflect critically on the world around them and encourages them to take an active role in their communities.
These experiences lay the foundation for a life-long ethic of civic responsibility and community service.
Mission: The mission of MCC is to promote a commitment to community service and to foster a life-long
service ethic in students. Specifically, MCC seeks to create or expand community service and servicelearning opportunities for students while promoting academic and co-curricular programs and to advocate
for public policies that encourage and support student community service.
Primary Constituents: MCC's primary constituents are the 33 member institutions of higher education in
the MCC network. MCC supports the efforts of presidents, faculty, administrators, students and staff.
MCC is the first organization in the United States to include its member presidents, students, faculty and
staff in the development and implementation of service initiatives.
Objectives/Priorities: MCC works to educate, support and recognize institutions of higher learning and
their individual members, who want to be involved in promoting citizenship by encouraging service
experiences for students. These experiences lay the foundation for a lifelong ethic of public responsibility
and community service. Students learn to reflect critically on the world around them and gain the
following skills through their engagement in service-learning:
*Problem Solving
*Collaboration
* Responsibility
*Leadership
*Listening
*Team-Building
*Self-Discipline
*Critical Thinking
initiative
Programs and Services:
* Student Community Action Network
*MCC Student Recognition Ceremony
*MCC Resource Library
*MCC Faculty/Staff Community
Service-Learning Awards
* Institute on Service-Learning
*MCC Service Leadership Camp
* Opportunities for Networking
*MCC Grants (Venture Grants, Faculty
Development Grants, Campus-Community
Dialogue Grants, Community Engagement
Grants, Fellowship Programs, Student
Community Action Fund)
Collaborative Network of Resources:
*Private Foundations
*Local Nonprofits
*MSU Extension Services
*Volunteer Centers of
Michigan
*Council of Michigan Foundations
*MI Association of United Ways
*MI Nonprofit Association
*Michigan Community Service
Commission
*K-12 Schools
*National Campus
Compact
Current Impact in Southeastern Michigan: MCC serves nine constituent organizations providing service
in the Greater Metropolitan Detroit area; Davenport University - Eastern Region, Eastern
Michigan University, Madonna University, Marygrove College, Saint Mary's College of Ave
Maria University, University of Michigan, University of Michigan - Dearborn, University of
Michigan - Flint, Wayne State University. All nine benefit directly from MCC programs and
�services. MCC will issue grants totaling $75,000 to member institutions serving Southeastern
Michigan over the next three years ($25,000/year).
MCC's current organizational capacity promotes opportunities for service-learning and civic
engagement on campuses located throughout Southeastern Michigan for over 40,000 students.
While this strategy is proving to be successful in terms of institutionalizing service-learning in
higher education curriculum, the current availability and allocation of resources limits MCC's
capacity to address the full scope of needs in this area.
ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance
expands and reorganizes available resources which enables MCC to more effectively and
efficiently meet the needs of its constituency. It is estimated that CMA will result in four new
member campuses in Southeastern Michigan and opportunities for an additional 15,000 to 20,000
students Southeastern Michigan. It is also projected that MCC will expand its grantmaking from
$25,000 per year to $50,000.
�Michigan Community Service Commission
Program Impact for Greater Metro Detroit
Investments
Annually, the MCSC primarily focuses three funding streams on the greater metro-Detroit area. For this
fiscal year, those investments are represented as follows:
Michigan's AmeriCorps
Learn & Serve America
Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants
Total Annual Investment
$1,577,095
$ 120,113
S 150.000
$1,847,208
The MCSC's overall programming budget totals more than $5 million. The 1.8 million invested in Detroit
only represents 36% of the funds available. One of the primary challenges the MCSC faces in getting those
dollars in Detroit is our inability to effectively target and leverage resources to nonprofit organizations in
Detroit that have the capacity to take on federal and state grants. The ConnectMichigan Alliance and the
endowment that will support it can help the MCSC target those organizations, build up their capacity to
access public funds and aid them in their plans to sustain quality service and volunteer programs.
Highlights
Among the programming investments MCSC in the Detroit area are:
City Year Detroit
City Year Detroit enrolls 70 members to serve in Michigan's AmeriCorps. City Year is a national service
organization that unites young adults, ages 17-24, from diverse racial, cultural, educational and
socioeconomic backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time community service, leadership development,
and civic engagement. United in their desire to serve, corps members invest their talents and energies as
directors of after-school programs, classroom facilitators in elementary and middle schools and builders of
playgrounds and urban gardens.
Detroit Academic Success
The Detroit Academic Success Program involves 20 full-time members who provide in-school tutoring to
low achieving elementary school students in five elementary schools in the Empowerment Zone to increase
academic achievement and reading comprehension. The members also develop after-school tutoring labs
for 200 neighborhood youth. In addition, the program develops community-wide service-learning projects
to promote civic responsibility.
Michigan 4-H Foundation for MSU Extension
4-H Youth Programs of Oakland County
The Oak Park/Pontiac 4-H Learn and Serve Program is a partnership between MSU Extension 4-H Youth
Programs of Oakland County, AmeriCorps Oakland, the 4-H VISTA Project, and the school districts of
Oak Park and Pontiac. The program is designed to address the low literacy levels in those communities by
providing experiential learning activities for a minimum of 150 program participants, most of whom are
low-income or at-risk. The participants, who range in age between 5 and 19, assess the specific needs of the
community, create plans to promote literacy in a way that satisfies true community needs, and carry out
their plans. Such service activities take place approximately eight times per year.
�Volunteer Impact
Volunteer Impact has tapped the resources of the Michigan Volunteer Investment Grants program for two
years totaling $125,000 in state support that will leverage other funds to be permanently invested in their
local community foundation. With help from more than 10,000 volunteers, Volunteer Impact has
completed more than 1,500 projects for some 200 local non-profit organizations since 1990.
Volunteer Impact also hosts Hands-On Detroit Day, their annual fund raiser, when hundreds of volunteers
help dozens of non-profit agencies in a single day. Volunteer Impact, Detroit's premiere volunteer corps,
was founded on the idea that we all want to give something back to the community. But too often, we lack
the time and the resources or simply don't know where to begin.
�Michigan Nonprofit Association
Mission: The Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) mission is to promote the awareness and effectiveness of
Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy in the state.

Current Impact in Southeastern Michigan: MNA serves more than 200 member organizations located in
Southeastern Michigan. MNA's current organizational capacity has effectively increased the
organizational capacities of its constituency. While the current strategy is proving to be successful, the
current availability and allocation of resources limits MNA's capacity to address the full scope of needs in
this area.
ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance expands
and reorganizes available resources which enables MNA to focus more effectively and efficiently on
meeting the needs of its constituency. It is estimated that CMA will result in fifty new member nonprofit
organizations in Southeastern Michigan and increased opportunities to expand member organization
capacity in terms of public policy, technology, and communication. It will also significantly increase
MNA's potential to expand member services throughout the region.
�VOLUNTEER
CENTERS
OF
MICHIGAN
Purpose: Volunteer Centers of Michigan's (VCM) primary purpose is to support local volunteer centers in their
effort to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems.
Mission: The mission of VCM is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new
centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide.
Primary Constituents: VCM's primary constituents are the 36 volunteer centers that are members of the state
association.
Programs and Services:
*Member Mailings
* Regional Trainings
*Local Consultations
*Quarterly Meetings
*Volunteerism SuperConference
*Michigan Association of
Volunteer Administrators
*Annual Retreat
*ConnectMichigan
*G. W. Romney Fund for
Volunteerism in Michigan

local volunteering
Collaborative Network of Resources:
*Community Foundations

*Volunteer Center
National Network
Current Impact in Southeastern Michigan: VCM has two constituent organizations providing service in the
Greater Metropolitan Detroit area; the George W. Romney Volunteer Center at United Way Community
Services, and United Way of Monroe County Volunteer Action Center. Both volunteer centers participate
regularly in VCM quarterly networking meetings and have been recipients of national service members as
sub-grantees of the VCM AmeriCorps program. Additionally, the Monroe County Volunteer Action
Center is a recipient of funding from the George W. Romney Volunteer Center Endowment.
VCM's current organizational capacity promotes a geographic-focus strategy that limits membership to
only one organization per geographic area. While this strategy initially promoted local collaboration, it is
not in step with the needs of the vast and diverse nonprofit community serving Southeastern Michigan.
ConnectMichigan Alliance Expands Impact in Southeastern Michigan: The ConnectMichigan Alliance expands
and reorganizes available resources that enable VCM to operate in a manner consistent with the Points of
Light Foundation's vision and the development of the National Network of Volunteer Centers. More
importantly, it enables VCM to respond to the needs of the nonprofit community in Southeastern Michigan
by transitioning resources in a manner that supports a network of centers that can provide targeted services
to targeted areas. In preparation for the move to the ConnectMichigan Alliance, VCM is retooling its
resources and focus to serve and assess organizations based on operational and program standards, rather
than on geographic location.
�In preparation for the transition, VCM has begun to provide basic technical assistance to six emerging
volunteer centers which serve Southeastern Michigan. With the expanded organizational capacity VCM
will experience through the formation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance, it is expected that each of the
following organizations will be bolstered by the full benefit that membership in VCM affords:
•"Lighthouse of Oakland County (Pontiac)
*Northville Township Foundation (Northville)
*Troy Community Volunteers Resource
Center (Troy)
*Plymouth Volunteer Center (Plymouth)
*Volunteer Impact (Southfield)
*Commission on Children, Youth and
and Families - Volunteer Center
(Farmington Hills)

Dear Julie:
Great news! The Herbert and Grace Dow Foundation awarded a $1 million
grant to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. The gift .will add
momentum to our efforts in Southeastern Michigan.
We are almost halfway to meeting! pur goal of establishing a $10 million
endowment fund for the ConnectMichigan Alliance. I want to update you oh
the status of our efforts in Southeastern Michigan. I believe the potential for
success of several of our initiatives in this region will be significantly
enhanced by your continued support.

Foundations
The Kresge Foundation: Sam and I met with John Marshall and Liz
Sullivan on Sept 18. We feel very confident that the Foundation will look
favorably on a $1 million request from the ConnectMichigan Alliance. John
Marshall indicated a strong interest in having a CMA office in Detroit. I am
meeting with Virgil Carr on October 10 to discuss this opportunity. The
Foundation's decision will be made during its December or March Board
meeting. I have enclosed a Board roster for this Foundation. If you have a
relationship with any of the Board members, an informal call from you
indicating your personal support for this initiative would be timely.
in
The Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan: We submitted a
grant request in the amount of $150,000 to the Whitney Fund and were
awarded a $50,000 grant. We recently submitted a second request to CFSEM
for a grant in the amount of $150,000. You may remember that after our
meeting with Mariam, we had hoped to generate grants totaling $250,000
from CFSEM. Our pending request and the $50,000 grant already awarded
ConnectMichigan Alliance P.O. Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869
A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan
�through the Whitney Fund total $200,000. We think that Peter Thurber
influenced the McGregor Fund's decision to consider a request in the amount
of $200,000 instead of $150,000 which makes up for the final $50,000 we
hoped to secure. We anticipate the CFSEM will consider our $150,000
request during the Foundation's December Board meeting. I have enclosed a
Board roster for this Foundation. An informal call indicating your support for
the request to any of the Board members with whom you have a personal
relationship may be very helpful.
McGregor Fund: Sam and I will meet with David Campbell on October 15
to make a formal presentation on behalf of the ConnectMichigan Alliance.
This is in support of the $200,000 grant proposal we submitted in August. We
remain confident the Foundation will look favorably upon our request. A
personal call from you to any of the Foundation's Board members with whom
you have a personal relationship will enhance our efforts. I have enclosed a
Board roster for the McGregor Fund.
The Southfield Community Foundation: We submitted a proposal in the
amount of $900 to the Southfield Community Foundation last May. Most
community foundations delayed their decisions on CMA requests until their
fall 2001 board meetings. I have enclosed a list of The Southfield Community
Foundation's Board members. A personal call from you to any of the
members with whom you have a relationship will enhance our efforts with this
foundation.
The Skillman Foundation: Sam, Kyle, Tim and I met to discuss strategies
for approaching The Skillman Foundation. In keeping with the Foundation's
focus on youth, our strategy is to team up with CMF's Learning to Give
program. Given that you are a member of the Learning to Give Steering
Committee, I am sure you will be pleased to know that up to five percent of
the annual earnings from the CMA endowment that are a direct result of
Skillman Foundation support will be granted to Learning to Give. For
example, should The Skillman Foundation approve a grant totaling $500,000,
up to five percent of $500,000 (depending on how well the endowment does
in any given year) will be available for Learning to Give. Our request will be
for a grant in the amount of $500,000 and our proposal is currently being
developed. It will be submitted by the end of October. I have enclosed a
Board roster for The Skillman Foundation. A personal call from you to any of
the Board members with whom you have a relationship will enhance our
efforts with this Foundation.
Corporations
DaimlerChrysler Corporation: Terry Pruitt recently called Frank Fountain
and was assured that "everything was okay" in terms of our request for $1
million. Frank indicated DCC would make its decision in mid-September but
�did not comment on the amount we might expect. We should hear of their
decision any day.
Ford Motor Company: I think the meeting we had with Sandy Ulsh went
very well. We do not have a specific timeframe concerning a decision on our
request for $1 million but expect the decision will come before the end of the
year. Michelle is placing a follow-up call to Jacques Nasser to ensure the
request stays in front of him.
General Motors Corporation: Kyle had a conversation with Debbie Dingell
and Vivian Pickard about GM's participation in the campaign. Kyle felt that
Debbie was skeptical and Vivian suggested that Michelle contact Rod Gillum
to reenergize this effort. In my experience, GM typically comes in lower than
DaimlerChrysler and Ford in this type of campaign. I do not expect to hear
about GM's decision until after we have heard from DaimlerChrysler and
Ford.
Other
United Way Community Services: I mentioned in my update on our efforts
with The Kresge Foundation that I will be meeting with Virgil Carr on
October 10, to discuss the potential to house a CMA staff person at UWCS. I
will keep you updated on the progress of this effort.
Julie, your leadership in the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign is greatly
appreciated. Many of the doors that are now open for us in Southeastern
Michigan are a direct result of your efforts. I look forward to working with
you toward the successful completion of this campaign.
