Executive Summary The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) Campaign ensures the strength and stability of support for Michigan's volunteers. 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) permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded by: ^ Building strong nonprofits to meet our communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based and civic needs; £, Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every Michigan resident; £, Having every Michigan college and university encourage citizen service & learning among its students, faculty and staff; and £, Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower communities to address their local challenges. CMA is a statewide initiative with significant potential for enhancing local initiatives to improve the quality of life in Grand Rapids and other West Michigan communities. The state of Michigan provided a $10 million challenge grant ($!:$!) toward this initiative. The C. S. Mott Foundation and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation each responded to the challenge with lead gifts of $1 million. The remaining $8 million will be developed over the next twelve months through multiple-year pledges and one-time gifts. 2. Purpose of Grant i Statement of needs/problems to be addressed; description of target population and how they will benefit "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 has invested precious resources in the development and promotion of a statewide ethic of volunteerism and service for more than a decade. In many ways, this effort represents our collective best inclinations: generosity, inclusivity, and determined optimism. Volunteerism and service provide opportunities to bridge the gaps in our communities by bringing people together, proposing alternatives, advocating for change, and implementing remedies. In the course of providing extensive benefits to a diverse range of people and communities, ifproduce^remarkably innovative solutions. &Y /, The impetuo-bohind thu L^Uliliohmciit of the ConnectMichigan Alliance grew out of aft 4/JUUl w mqnir r r"lr fVlg -pinST""*" fnr expanding, a continuum of capacity-limited, but successful, programs and services. With a goal of promotion and full realization of the ethic of volunteerism and service in every community throughout the state, CMA will work to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\fiill proposal.doc �increase the organizational capacities of local volunteer centers and service learning programs to address fee folia w lug uni v LI sal local challenges: i / L/Hi A \b 1 lyj*^ 1. Currently many Michigan citizens are unable to access a volunteer center—places where individuals and organizations work to match volunteer opportunities with the right individual. Only fifty-four Michigan counties are currently served by a Volunteer Center, many of which have limited organizational capacity to meet community needs. _ Volunteer Centers have limited access to fund advancement professionals. ^ Accessibility to volunteer opportunities and support is limited by the strength and depth of leadership in a community. Often leadership involves the same pool of volunteers and leaders who either move on or "burn out," leaving the organization without strong and long-term support. 4. Nonprofits and volunteer-based organizations have been unable to stay ahead of emerging trends due to their inaccessibility to technical assistance and financial resources. 5. Citizenship, giving, civic engagement and the ethic of giving back are not the indoctrinating principles our society's institutions and communities instill as they once did. New ways need to be found to instill these values. 6. Only thirty-five of the state's post-secondary educational institutions have demonstrated their commitment to promoting more civically engaged students, faculty and administrators by committing to the Michigan Campus Compact. 7. A number of events, programs and activities are conducted around the state to promote volunteerism, but they are scattered and-not univoroallji .supported in ovory Mid aommunitv '4J&+~*^g£>+*J CA^j4uc**«*-»^ «u*u 8.

C:\W7NDOWS\TEMP\full proposal.doc �Mobilization of People Network Development Resource Development Strengthening Infrastructures Public Education ConnectMichigan Public Education: CMA will work with local Volunteer Centers, colleges and universities to educate Grand Rapids and other west-Michigan residents through the development and implementation of public education campaigns. Public education initiatives will be comprehensive in nature with emphasis on identifying issues and opportunities, and on recognitionof,efforts on the part of individuals and organizations throughout the westMicEiganregion. Strengthening Infrastructures: Increased capacity will enable CMA to enhance and expand upon existing MCC and VCM programs and services in the areas of grantmaking to local initiatives, enhancing the technological capacity of volunteer and service-learning initiatives throughout west-Michigan, and providing opportunities for the region's young people and families by developing and implementing grant opportunities for youth initiatives. Resource Development: CMA will enhance and expand the training and technical assistance capacities of west-Michigan affiliates. In partnership with CMA and local nonprofit organizations, MNA will ^stSaEffi Grand Rapids as one of five training and technical assistance hubs in the state. CMA will also develop a broad range of resource material in the areas of fund advancement, volunteer development, service-learning programming, establishing and nurturing collaborative efforts, managing statistical data, and volunteer management. Network Development: The current state of disconnectedness is not limited to individuals. CMA will continue and expand existing networks that support cross-sector discussion, and training that covers a broad base of topics relative to all west-Michigan organizations that utilize volunteers and/or conduct service-learning initiatives. Network development will also facilitate the discussion and development of training, workshops and conferences that focus on specialized needs of local and regional organizations. Mobilization of People: This is the strategy that achieves the ultimate goal of CMA — to reduce "disconnectedness" in communities throughout Michigan. CMA will build upon C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\full proposal.doc �existing local Volunteer Centers, VCM and MCC "Day of Service" initiatives, which include 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 all west-Michigan communities in meaningful activities designed to promote continued civic engagement and connectedness.

Programs and services currently administered by MCSC and MNA specific to volunteerism and service-learning will be^transferred to the partnership. Impact on Grand Rapids GR Volunteer Center: The establishment of the ConnectMichigan Alliance increases the capacity of Volunteer Centers of Michigan to support GRVC's efforts to address issues of board and staff capacity, fund advancement, community identity, and the successful accomplishment of mission. Access to quality training and technical assistance will be improved as the Michigan Nonprofit Association, in partnership with CMA and local nonprofit organizations, will establish Grand Rapids as one of five regional training hubs in the state of Michigan. This partnership also expands the availability of technical assistance to local nonprofits via contracting with regional consultants, providing stipends to veteran directors and board members to serve as peer mentors, and cultivating scholarship funds to ensure appropriate development activities are available to GRVC staff. CMA will significantly increase grant support available to GRVC through VCM. CMA will also increase Volunteer Centers of Michigan's capacity to support GRVC's efforts to promote and market volunteerism, convene community resources to address local issues and establish business and family volunteerism programs. Finally, Michigan is in the process of developing a comprehensive 211 network of local providers that will offer a "one-stop-shop" for individuals seeking assistance for any problems they may encounter. CMA affords VCM the resources to support this effort in Grand Rapids. Higher Education: The establishment of CMA ensures the continuation and enhancement of Michigan Campus Compact's support for local institutions of higher educations' servicelearning and community service initiatives in Grand Rapids. CMA expands MCC's capacity enabling it to host several networking opportunities in Grand Rapids. Staff, faculty and students representing the region's colleges will be actively engaged in planning and hosting networking meetings which significantly increases the opportunities to strengthen and enhance programming on their campuses and in their communities. In addition, non-member institutions serving the area will be encouraged to participate in meetings, and join MCC. CMA resources will enable MCC to formally engage colleges in the development of strategies to promote civic engagement among students. Grand Rapids area colleges and universities will be instrumental in this dialogue. CMA will also significantly increase grant support available to local institutions of higher education through MCC. It also increases MCC's capacity to support local colleges' efforts to promote and market service-learning internally and in the communities they serve, to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\fiill proposal.doc �expand collaborative efforts with other community resources to address local issues, and to link students with more opportunities to apply classroom education in efforts to enhance the quality of life in Grand Rapids. K-12 Volunteer Programming: While a great deal of activity exists in the K-12 volunteer or "service learning" arena, there is not a great deal of infrastructure for shared learning and resource dissemination. Two of the strongest statewide initiatives rest with the Council of Michigan Foundations (Learning to Give program, a curriculum-based service learning program) and the Michigan Community Service Commission (Learn & SERVE communitybased and school-based funding, with a corresponding statewide advisory council). CMA will convene of committee, inviting representatives from GRVC, higher education service-learning programs, United Way, The Grand Rapids Community Foundation/ and K12 education, to research service-learning opportunities and develop a K-12 service-learning initiative in mid-Michigan. It is anticipated that the mid-Michigan K-12 service-learning initiative will be a model program for rural communities. Timetable for implementation The four founding organizations of the ConnectMichigan Alliance began developing the concept of the new organization on June 1, 1999. hi early 2000 the Boards of all four organizations approved the concept and staff was directed to move forward with implementation plans. In October of 2000 the State of Michigan allocated a $10 million challenge grant to the ConnectMichigan Alliance. On December 19, 2000 the ConnectMichigan Alliance officially began its $10 million campaign to leverage the state's challenge grant, lead gifts of $1 million from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation were announced. The campaign must be completed by October 1, 2002 in accordance with the State's challenge. The Board of the ConnectMichigan Alliance held its first meeting on February 1, 2001 and is finalizing the process of hiring an executive director. On July 1, 2001, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact joined fnarpr nndrr tho umbrollmofme ConnectMichigan Alliance. «*•> otLjL+j&- ft^gfj- Q-vau^u IF- i ^r=o y List of partners in the project and their roles. Separate, but working in collaboration, the following organizations have combined to build a powerful force—infrastructure—for volunteerism in Michigan: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC); Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC); Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA); and Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). MCC and VCM will operate as organisations under the CMA.uHibrcHn.

I apologize for not responding sooner, but for some unknown reason, I never received the letter. Now that Bob is retired, we have had to take a serious look at our priorities in giving. Our small family foundation has also diminished in size due to the depressed stock market. As much as we would like to contribute to "CMA" and many other requests, we feel it is better to give grants of$1,000-$10,000 directly to organizations in Grand Rapids (for example the YMCA/GR Service Corp which is very important to me!). I would feel uncomfortable signing a letter to the DeVoses and Cooks when we will not be contributing to "CMA." I am very sorry not to be able to help you and Peter out and also for the delay in my response. Bob and I wish you success! You have contributed so much in so many ways to the well being of our state, and we congratulate you for all your efforts. Hope to see you soon and will discuss "Connect Michigan" at that time.

Requested a gift of$100,000 from the Foundation in a proposal sent in advance to Mr. Gardiner. Mr. Gardiner requested an explanation of CRCF investment strategy to ensure that funds were part of a comprehensive investment strategy. He asked, "What's in it for Kalamazoo?" and wanted to know what the local support was for the campaign and the partnering organizations. He requested local letters of support. Mr. Orosz emphasized the potential for return on their investment over a 3-year period especially given the involvement of the area higher education institutions and the VIG program. Mr. Gardiner asked about the participation of other community foundation and requested a list of community foundations that have given to date. Finally, Mr. Gardiner was briefed on the staffing of the CMA and was intrigued by the appointment of John Lore �Kalamazoo Community Foundation August 09, 2001 Visit Report Dave Gardiner Page 2 of 2 given his past relationships with Kalamazoo (Nazareth and Western) and with Jack Hopkins specifically. He suggested that John call Jack and suggest that CMA give a presentation to their board. This last point is especially important as Mr. Gardiner made it a point to explain the various funding approval process that proposals need to go through. He especially emphasized that Jack can approve gifts at the $50,000 level without board approval, however, anything above that needed to be put before the board. It is important, therefore, to get a presentation before the board if a gift of over $50,000 is to be secured. Mr. Gardiner will review the proposal and contact us. He was surprised at the (high level of the) request amount. Pledge/Gift Received: No activity at this time Staff Assigned: Action Steps: Kyle Caldwell Follow up to this initial visit.

Rose Street, Suite 332 Kalamazoo, MI 49007-4775 Dear Mr. Gardiner: On behalf of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), I am pleased to submit this proposal for a grant in the amount of $100,000 . If approved, your grant will be combined with other resources totaling $20,000,000 in support of your community ' s partnerships with CMA. Specifically, it will ensure a perpetual commitment to improve the quality of life in Kalamazoo and other local Michigan communities through the power ofvolunteerism and service. CMA programs and services address four areas of need, as identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than 70 executives representing local nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the state. Those areas include General Yolunteerism; Youth Yolunteerism; Higher Education; and Training and Technical Assistance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is a new organization. However, its founding partners are well-established, statewide, constituency-driven infrastructure organizations with long track records of successfully supporting local volunteer and service-learning programs in Kalamazoo and other local Michigan communities. CMA creates an increased organizational capacity to continue existing services and develop new infrastructure services essential to the success of volunteerism and service-learning initiatives in Kalamazoo. CMA is a valuable resource to local Volunteer Centers and other community-based nonprofit organizations. As a partner in local initiatives, CMA is not prescriptive in the application of its resources. As local nonprofits identify community needs, they are able to access and apply CMA programs and services in a manner that best serves their communities.

Organizational Information Mission The mission of the ConnectMichigan Alliance is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives. Description of Current Programs, Activities, and Accomplishments MCC has four active members in the Kalamazoo area-- including Davenport University, Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Western Michigan University (WMU) . The past president of Davenport University has served as an active chair for MCC over the past two years. Both Davenport University and KVCC are expanding their programs and work with MCC through grants and on-campus trainings in service-learning. Kalamazoo College has a comprehensive career portfolio program that actively engages students in community service as part of their overall educational experience. In addition, Kalamazoo College has a past faculty fellow and close community tie through several faculty members to the Woodward School for Technology and Research. WMU has over 33 student groups doing community service and involves over 2000 students annually in one day service projects. The Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo (formerly Voluntary Action Center) has served as one ofVCM' s strongest leaders. The Center and director Aaron Cantrell were instrumental in the founding ofVCM, as Cantrell worked closely with former Governor George Romney in establishing and achieving the vision for the state network of Volunteer Centers. Additionally, due to his role with VCM, Cantrell has served as past chair of the VCM Operating Council and has represented VCM nationally with the Points of Light Foundation through the Volunteer Center National Network Council. These roles have spotlighted the Kalamazoo Center and its staff on both the state and national levels. Kalamazoo is a very active community in terms of volunteer and service-learning initiatives. Examples of recent collaborative efforts between Kalamazoo nonprofit organizations, Volunteer Centers of Michigan and/or Michigan Campus Compact include: Service-Learning Universities as Citizens Summer Planning Institute at Kalamazoo College (June, 1999) This Planning Institute was a collaboration between a group of state Compacts, called the Midwest Collaboration. This collaboration between Indiana, Ohio, TI!inois and Michigan Compacts provided the opportunity for seven teams from 116 member campuses in the Midwest to attend the institute to plan and develop an action plan with their community partners to institutionalize service-learning programs on their campuses. The following campus/community teams were selected: • • • • • Central Michigan University- Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis - Indianapolis, Indiana Kalamazoo College -Kalamazoo, Michigan Michigan State University- East Lansing, Michigan Saint Mary' s College - Notre Dame, Indiana S \CM A\community foundat ions\K.alamazoo\proposal narrative final8 -7-01 doc Page 3 of21 �+ Southern TI!inois University- Carbondale- Carbondale, TI!inois + Olivet College - Olivet, Michigan The Universities as Citizens Summer Planning Institute was hosted by Kalamazoo College. Funded by a grant from the Corporation for National Service to the Midwest Collaboration and a grant from the National Campus Compact Office, the Institute focused on the scholarship of engagement - the integration of teaching, research and/or professional service with community partners. The Institute was designed to provide an environment for campus/community teams to plan specific projects that foster public engagement. In addition, the Institute explored key issues related to campus planning. Training and Technical Assistance In July, 2000, Robin Lynn Schultheiss (Director, VCM) presented a half-day workshop, "For Volunteers Only" as part of the local training series hosted by the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo. This training was focused primarily on long-term volunteers and board members of local nonprofits, stressing their unique role as organizational historian and leader. Additionally, maintaining the delicate relationship between staff and volunteers was discussed at length. In the summer of 1999, Schultheiss conducted a workshop on Effective Volunteer Management for the same training series. Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo staff members have participated in a number ofVCM sponsored professional development opportunities, including fund development strategies and the Volunteer Center Academy. VC of Greater Kalamazoo staff regularly serve as volunteers at MNAIVCM sponsored conferences, in exchange for discounted registration fees. MCC also presented a training session for faculty on service-learning hosted by Kalamazoo Valley Community College during the spring semester of2000. Grants Capacity Building Mini-grant- $2,000 In 1998, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo was the recipient of a $2,000 capacity building grant from VCM, to assist with a technology upgrade resulting in an improved volunteer referral and tracking mechanism. The grant funded one portion of a comprehensive system upgrade and provided leverage for the Center to secure the additional funding. Volunteer Investment Grant & Romney Endowment- $50,000 In 1998, the Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo was among the first in the state to leverage a $25,000 award through the George W. Romney Fund for Volunteerism in Michigan and an additional $25,000 from the Volunteer Investment Grant administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). Raising $25,000 locally for the MCSC 1:1 challenge grant enabled the Volunteer Center to establish an endowment fund of $50,000, which will provide program and operational support into perpetuity. It is the goal of the Romney Fund that local Volunteer Centers will continue to grow the fund to a level that provides adequate support for core programs. Western Michigan University WMU continues to develop a web-based resource book that will inform and provide students, faculty and staff of community volunteer opportunities and needs. S:\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finaiS-7-0 1 doc Page 4 of21 �Western Michigan University This proposal called "Hands-on-Science" established a mentor program between 10-20 Western Michigan University students of physics, chemistry, and geography and twenty advanced students at the Woodward School for Technology and Research in Kalamazoo. For a period of three months, the WMU students assisted the elementary school students to develop science fair projects. The elementary students also visited Western' s campus. Western Michigan University During the Fellowship term, Faculty Fellows provided expertise to meet a community organization's needs. Dr. Paul and his students focused on independent living for seniors. Students did needs assessment for seniors homes and then followed up with them to see if the assessment made a difference on safety and if the recommendations were being heeded. Faculty Fellows also teach a service-learning course, conduct a research project and participate in three retreats. Recognized as service-learning leaders, Faculty Fellows inspire and support colleagues at their own institutions to become involved in academic service-learning and other forms of professional community engagement. All of their work was chronicled in a professional development portfolio which Faculty Fellows are encouraged to submit for review, promotion or tenure actions. Kalamazoo College As a Faculty Fellow, Dr. Bruce Mills focused on needs identified through dialogue with the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Services Agency [KRESA] autism-programming team. Through the Creation of "Social Stories," students in a service-learning course "Out of Silence: From Autism to Art" contribute to the development of autism-impaired students ' social skills and language abilities. As a result of Dr. Mills research, two in-service trainings for KRESA staff were be held at Kalamazoo College. In addition, the fellowship provided funds for travel to an out-of-state conference on autism programming. Finally, a collection of essays on the impact of autism were read in the community. Western Michigan University Dr. Gibson Hancox integrated a service-learning component into an undergraduate Communication Training and Development course. Students conducted communication related training to clients from two of the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency's (KRESA) programs, Work First and School-To-Work. Student trainers engaged in extensive classroom discussions, training journal entries and a series of directed writings to explore such issues as adult Ieamer populations, KRESA client needs, theories of resource development, and the role of training in nonprofit organizations. ConnectMichigan Alliance Initiative CMA programs and services address four areas of need, as identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than 70 executives representing local nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the state. Those areas include Community Volunteerism, Youth Volunteerism, Higher Education, and Training and Technical Assistance. The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is a new organization. However, its founding partners are well-established, statewide, constituency-driven infrastructure organizations with long track records of successfully supporting local volunteer and service-learning programs in Kalamazoo and other local Michigan communities. CMA creates an increased organizational capacity to continue existing programs and develop new infrastructure services essential to the success of volunteerism and service-learning initiatives in Kalamazoo. S·\CMA\community foundations\ K.alamazoo\proposal narrative final8·7-0I.doc Page5of21 �CMA is a valuable resource to local Volunteer Centers and other community-based nonprofit organizations. As a partner in local initiatives, CMA is not prescriptive in the application of its resources. As local nonprofits identify community needs, they are able to access and apply CMA programs and services in a manner that best serves their communities. CMA programs and services available to local nonprofits include (implementation dates are in parenthesis): Community Volunteerism Volunteer Centers (July 1, 2001): While diverse in their local delivery strategies, there are four basic tenets of Volunteer Center serv1ces: 1. Volunteer Clearinghouse - a local Volunteer Center serves as a matchmaker between potential volunteers and local nonprofitslinitiatives that are in need of volunteers. Each Center has a volunteer application, screening and referral process, as well as accountabilities for nonprofits who work with volunteers through the Center. In addition to placing individual volunteers, Volunteer Centers work to develop appropriate projects to meet the changing demographics of the volunteer sector, including programs for Family Volunteerism, Youth Volunteerism and Employee Volunteerism. Some placements are long-term, others are short-term. Many Volunteer Centers coordinate local Day of Service initiatives to introduce community members to local opportunities. Examples of Day of Service initiatives include: Make A Difference Day, National Youth Service Day, Day of Caring (with a local United Way), Join Hands Day and Holidays of Caring. 2. Community Problem-Solving- local Volunteer Centers are fmding practical applications for their database and relationship "web" by engaging more strategically in proactive community problem solving efforts. In order to appropriately meet volunteer needs, a Volunteer Center is uniquely positioned to understand many facets of an organization' s programming. By identifying a key community issue and cross-referencing it with the Volunteer Center database of organizations providing programs and services that impact the issue, a Volunteer Center can initiate conversations, collaborations and strategies for a more holistic approach to service delivery. 3. Marketing and Promotion - Volunteer Centers work to spread the word, not only about the needs of the community, but also the success stories of effective change created by volunteer initiatives. When community members begin to understand the full value and potential impact of volunteerism, it stands to reason that they would feel it is a useful investment of their time. In addition to the impact of volunteerism, people need to know- easily- how they can become involved. This is where the 1-800-VOLUNTEER hotline and the presence of a Volunteer Center in every community become critical. 4. Volunteer Recognition- as there is no "pay" for volunteerism, Volunteer Centers work to ensure that local volunteers receive appropriate recognition. Large-scale annual community volunteer recognition events are commonplace. Volunteer Centers are helping local nonprofits meet the challenge of effective, meaningful, creative recognition. To advance the efforts of local Volunteer Centers in meeting their missions, the VCM staff provides support services that enhance the professional capacity of local staff. VCM ' s services include: site-based consultation and training; facilitated quarterly networking meetings; new director orientation and mentoring; fund development training and assistance; marketing initiatives; and connection to other state and local resources. One of the primary responsibilities S ·\CMA\comrnunity fo undatio ns\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finai8-7-0 I doc Page 6 o f 2 1 �of VCM staff is to advocate on behalf of all Volunteer Centers for resources and support services, allowing local Volunteer Centers to focus on meeting local needs. Corporate and Business Volunteerism (July 1, 2002): As the corporate and business community seeks new avenues for community investment, volunteerism is playing a key role in business plans and strategies nationwide. This growing trend is realized through two primary means -- employee volunteerism and corporate or business volunteer councils. In some business cultures, employees are expected to be civically engaged as part of a formal job description; while others, the company approaches a flexible scheduling arrangement as a means of supporting the "wholeness" of an employee' s life. In response to this growing trend, communities have seen the outgrowth of corporate volunteer councils and rural business councils that support and promote best practices of employee volunteerism and discuss strategies for connecting philanthropy, volunteerism and responsible corporate citizenship. These councils often work in close partnership with local Volunteer Centers and other nonprofit organizations. Additionally, many communities have created "win-win" partnerships in the development of board placement programs, whereby an employee is placed on a nonprofit board. This placement allows personal and professional development opportunities for the individual , as well as creating stronger ties to the business sector and access to needed resources and skills for the local nonprofit. The ConnectMichigan Alliance will support and promote the best practices of employee volunteerism through collaborative partnerships, sharing of innovative models and best practices, and delivering training and technical assistance. I-BOO-VOLUNTEER Hotline (July 1, 2001): When an interested volunteer calls 1-800-VOLUNTEER, they are asked to input their ZIP Code and are then connected immediately to their local Volunteer Center. If the caller is not currently served by a local Volunteer Center, they are connected to Volunteer Centers ofMichigan (VCM). 1-800-VOLUNTEER is a national initiative, coordinated jointly by the Points ofLight Foundation and Volunteer Center National Network. Michigan is the only state in the country that currently has universal coverage. Make A Difference Day (July 1, 2001): Typically the third Saturday of October, this annual nationwide event is coordinated by the Points of Light Foundation and USA Weekend Magazine. Once again, Michigan rose to the challenge and launched one of the most comprehensive Make A Difference Day efforts in the country. For the tenth anniversary of the National Make A Difference Day (2000), the Michigan initiative included 84,901 volunteers participating in 605 projects which impacted 194 cities in 80 counties. National Volunteer Week (July 1, 2001): Held nationally during the third week of April, National Volunteer Week is celebrated in local communities in a variety of ways. Many host local volunteer recognition events (frequently coordinated by local Volunteer Centers); others coordinate days of service or conduct local marketing campaigns to promote volunteer involvement; some focus very heavily on providing speakers to service clubs, businesses and schools to discuss innovative approaches to volunteerism. Through CMA, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan plan to conduct a statewide media and marketing campaign each year, promoting the 1-800-VOLUNTEER hotline and local Volunteer Centers as a point of connection in local communities. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal namJtive finai8-7-0I.doc Page 7 of21 �America's Promise in MI (July 1, 2002): Launched at the President's Summit for America ' s Future in April, 1997, America's Promise was personalized to Michigan through the leadership of the Michigan Community Service Commission. The 25 local Communities of Promise currently registered with MCSC and MCC have access to support services and funding opportunities that allow them to more successfully deliver the five fundamental resources to youth: a healthy start; safe places to learn and grow; an ongoing relationship with a caring adult; marketable skills; and an opportunity to give back through service. Through the coordinated efforts of CMA, we expect the number of registered Communities of Promise to grow statewide. Volunteerism Clearinghouse (July 1, 2002): The Volunteer Centers ofMichigan and Michigan Nonprofit Association have built a collection of reference books, guides and manuals; video tapes; audio tapes; on-line resources; and journals that are available as references for volunteer program managers. Additionally, potential volunteers can be directed to a multitude of sources for involvement in local volunteerism or can be provided with self assessment tools to assist in decision making related to volunteer involvement. Youth Volunteerism Youth Volunteer Opportunities (July 1, 2002): Currently, there exists a myriad of opportunities for youth to be volunteers in their local communities. While many adults tend to think immediately of volunteering at the local hospital, humane society, or place of worship, the opportunities for youth service have grown dramatically as more youth clubs (4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, etc.) have incorporated service as a formal component of their youth programming. Many Michigan youth also have access to Youth Volunteer Corps programs (currently hosted in ten areas of Michigan), as well as local Youth Advisory Councils (in partnership with Community Foundations and/or Volunteer Centers). The partners of CMA will continue to promote and support these programs through collaboration, technical assistance and supporting the principles of youth empowerment and leadership. K-12 Service-leaming (July 1, 2003): Many Michigan schools (public and private) and educators have begun to incorporate the values of service-learning into their curricula. Service-learning is a means of making education "real" to students by providing practical real-world application of classroom learning. English students learn to research, interview and document the life history of elders in their community; biology and chemistry students conduct water testing for contaminants in local rivers and streams and then plan appropriate clean-up efforts; art students rejuvenate abandoned buildings or public structures for community beautification projects ... the possibilities are endless. CMA will be positioned to further the success of local service-learning efforts by preparing nonprofit organizations to address fully the components of meaningful projects, as well as encouraging a broader range of community partnerships and collaborations. YES Ambassador Program (July 1, 2003): Michigan has been host to the Points of Light's YES (Youth Engaged in Service) Ambassador program for ten years . The role of a YES Ambassador is to promote the involvement of young people in meaningful service and leadership opportunities. Michigan' s statewide focus has resulted in the creation of the MYP AC (Michigan Youth Progressive Action Council), an advisory council to the Governor through the Michigan Community Service Commission. Additionally, the YES Ambassador works with numerous organizations and entities statewide, preparing them for and promoting the benefits of youth leadership and civic engagement. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finai8·7-0 I doc Page 8 of2 1 �Service-Learning Support (July 1, 2001): In Michigan, there are two highly developed support mechanisms for K-12 service-learning: Learning to Give is a program of the Council of Michigan Foundations. Learning to Give is a curriculum-based resource for educators that includes literally hundreds of ready-to-use lesson plans crossing all disciplines and grade levels. Michigan educators will find appropriate references to MEAP lessons, as well as opportunities to attend in-services and institutes that prepare them to more fully engage their students and peers in service-learning. Learn and Serve is a national grant program hosted in Michigan by the Michigan Community Service Commission. Learn and Serve provides grant opportunities for both community based organization and school-based service-learning initiatives. Learn and Serve also provides access to state and national level technical assistance for the successful implementation and evaluation of service-learning initiatives. As CMA develops, it will identify and develop networking initiatives which enhances existing outreach initiatives that link nonprofit organizations with their local schools and K-12 students. Higher Education Institute 011 Academic Service-Learning (July 1, 2001): The Institute is an annual conference focusing on education and dissemination of information on service-learning. Faculty and staff from higher education institutions in Michigan come to learn and share new information, explore service-learning pedagogy and network between institutions. Service Leaders/tip Camp (July 1, 2001): The camp is an annual weekend activity for college students who are campus community service leaders, to focus on organizing and improving their service activities for the year. Students and their advisors learn new information, develop a year plan and network with each other. Generally, 100-120 students attend from 10-14 public and private institutions. Grants (July 1, 2001): MCC has several grant programs that make a significant difference in college and universities starting and maintaining support for service-learning, community service and civic engagement. These grant programs include Venture Grants, Faculty Fellows Grants, Student Community Action Fund Grants, Corporation for National Service Grants, among other grant programs throughout the year. In 2000-2001 , MCC granted over $130,000 to 79 different grant programs that have resulted in model programs, new initiatives and campus support for service activities. Recognition (July 1, 2001): MCC supports two statewide recognition ceremonies to honor faculty, staff, students and administrators that participate in service-learning and community service. Annually, MCC honors faculty and staff from 35 institutions of higher education in Michigan. College students are nominated by campus staff or their community organization to be honored in an MCC statewide ceremony each April. In 2001 , MCC honored over 70 students. This recognition ceremony is a way to thank those who have worked hard to advance the use, value and understanding of community service and service-learning at their institution and/or throughout the state. Recognizing these individuals lends legitimacy and awareness to the work of community service-learning practitioners on and off campus. S \CMA\community foundations\ K.alamazoo\proposal narrative final 8-7-01 doc Page9of2 1 �Networking Meetings (July 1, 2001): MCC holds regular networking and informational meetings for Community Service Directors and service-learning faculty from our 35 member institutions. These meetings offer opportunities for these constituent groups to learn from each other and from professional development presentations. Constituents find that these meetings help bring new practitioners into the fold , and offer support for their activities. In 2000-2001 MCC held 8 such networking meetings. Student Community Action Network [SCAN] (July 1, 2001): SCAN serves as the student component of Michigan Campus Compact (MCC). It is the student voice that impacts decisions affecting community service made at state and local levels. SCAN unites Michigan student leaders engaged in service on their college campus and provides structured statewide opportunities for sharing campus activities, solving problems, discussing issues in community service and service-learning, and utilizing resources available throughout Michigan and nationally. The student representatives from each member institution obtain the knowledge and ability to further service initiatives on their campuses through eight yearly meetings. Regional Collaborations (July 1, 2003): Collaborations between campus programs in similar regions of the state or that are dealing with similar issues on community service and service-learning, will be fostered . Regionally in: Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Flint/Saginaw and Lansing. Issues: Rural; Urban,· Part-time staff; Full-time staff; and specific programs, such as, Tutoring, Community Building, etc. Regional collaboration will increase capacity of community service and service-learning programs. Specifically, collaborations will mean an increase in quality of one-time/one-day volunteerism projects, such as Make a Difference Day. Community based organizations will also benefit from bringing local college and universities together to plan events, because they will no longer need to develop special relationships with each campus for one-time events. Publications/Dissemination (July 1, 2002:) Service-learning publishing opportunities for faculty will be increased. These publications will support both the case for the use of service-learning pedagogy and the needs of faculty to publish. This initiative is member-driven because of the pressure to publish for faculty promotion. Also, publications provide the opportunity to develop the body of knowledge on the benefits of servicelearning and civic engagement in the classroom. Promoting Multi-Disciplinary Service-Leaming (July 1, 2003): Higher education faculty and staff will be trained to engage in multi-disciplinary service-learning initiatives. Increasing the disciplines involved with service-learning projects presents a well rounded look at community problems and will create better learning opportunities for students that help them to integrate service into their majors. In addition, multi-disciplinary servicelearning creates deeper service projects with greater capacity and impact and helps to institutionalize service-learning on college campuses. Student Civic Engagement Opportunities (July 1, 2002): Educational opportunities will be created for students to learn about civic engagement, such as: • Student led panels around the state on civic engagement topics, and • Statewide civic engagement conference for students. This will help to increase participation in civic education on college campuses and involve students in their own civic development. Michigan will model programs for the rest of the nation on college campuses. S:ICMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoolproposal narrative finaiS-7-0I.doc Page 10 of21 �Training and Technical Assistance Statewide Initiatives (July I, 200I): CMA will host Volunteerism SuperConference in collaboration with Volunteer Centers of Michigan and the Michigan Nonprofit Association. The SuperConference, a bi-annual event, attracts more than 1,000 participants for education and networking around the topics of volunteer management, motivation, outcomes and impact measurement, community leadership and others. The SuperConference addresses the full range of the volunteer sector, from youth to senior, new volunteer to 20 year veteran, program staff to executive director. The SuperConference draws national leaders as keynote speakers, boasting a history that includes Barbara Bush, Colin Powell and Mark Victor Hansen. The 2002 SuperConference, through the sponsorship of the Michigan Community Service Commission will feature a track for national service members and program managers as well as hosting the nationally recognized Prudential Youth Leadership Institute. Training and Technical Assistance (July I, 2001): In collaboration with local Volunteer Centers and Higher Education service-learning offices, CMA will establish five regional training hubs to ensure accessibility to vital training opportunities for local volunteer and service-learning organizations. Local partners (Volunteer Centers and service-learning offices) will help CMA identify training needs specific to local communities and host workshops and seminars. Additionally, CMA will collaborate with local management service organizations (MSO) and the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) in providing local nonprofit organizations access to capacity-building and nonprofit management training opportunities through the same training hubs. Training will include capacity-building workshops on Board Development and Training, Volunteer Management (recruitment, retention and recognition), and Nonprofit Management (through MSO and MNA). It will also include initiatives to link Volunteer Centers with local businesses. Topics will include Corporate and Business Volunteer Programming, and Corporate Councils. CMA will also work in conjunction with local MSOs and MNA to recruit a cadre of consultants assigned to specific geographic regions of the state. In addition to ensuring all geographic regions of the state have access to professional consultants to help develop organizational capacity, CMA will make available financial resources for such undertaking through a mini-grant process. Organization statement or policy regarding non-discrimination of employees and consumers Article ll of the ConnectMichigan Alliance Employment Policies and Procedures as approved February 1, 2001 specifically states: "CMA provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age sexual orientation, or disability, as defined by law, or status of a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. In addition, CMA complies with applicable state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment. This policy applies to promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and all other terms and conditions of employment." 2. Project S ICMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoolproposal narrative finaiS-7-0 I.doe Page II of21 �Statement of Documented Need/Problems to be Addressed The establishment of the ConnectMichigan Alliance grew out of a two-year planning process engaging more than seventy local nonprofit leaders from communities throughout Michigan who recognized the need to deepen the quality and sustainability of Michigan 's volunteer infrastructure. Their charge was to create a vision for their local communities by drawing upon their common experiences in the development of a strategic plan to support volunteerism and service-learning at the local level. In their deliberations, planners considered the following facts: Overall Significance of Michigan's Nonprofit Sector • The nonprofit sector is growing faster than the overall Michigan economy which means its impact on the economy and quality of life in the state continues to significantly increase as well. According to a 1997 survey conducted by Public Sector Consultants (PSC), there are nearly 38,000 nonprofit organizations operating in Michigan with assets exceeding $60 billion. Overall Significance of Michigan's Volunteers • • • • Almost 90 percent of all charitable organizations participating in PSC's 1997 survey rely on volunteers. Charitable organizations indicated they averaged 180 volunteers and nearly 9,500 volunteer hours, which translates to 4.6 full-time workers per organization. PSC estimates that more than 1 million volunteers contribute nearly 60 million hours to Michigan nonprofit organizations, an equivalent of more than 28,000 full-time employees and nearly $760 million in donated labor. According to Michigan Giving & Volunteering, a 1999 statewide report published jointly by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, 46.7 percent of Michigan adults volunteered during the past twelve months - the majority indicating they are volunteering more hours annually than in the past. Also according to Michigan Giving & Volunteering, almost half of all those who volunteer donated their time to education in 1999, including public and private schools, daycare centers, and preschools. Michigan Giving & Volunteering also revealed that 81.3 percent of those who did not volunteer in 1999 indicated they had not been asked to do so - over half said they had been volunteers in the past. Changing Dynamics and Capacity Challenges in Supporting Volunteerism and ServiceLearning • As a requirement for graduation, many school districts and institutions of higher education are mandating students complete a set number of hours of volunteer service annually. While the intent is to civically engage young people in a meaningful experience, the need for formal training available to nonprofit organizations, to the schools and to the youth far exceeds its availability. U.S. Department of Education research shows that schools that mandate service as a component of graduation, but which do not provide adequate support, training and placement services fare no better than schools that do not require serviceemphasizing the need for more support and connections between schools and community based organizations. S \CMA\community foundations\ Kalamazoo\proposal narrative final8-7-01 doc Page 12 of21 �• • • • • Over the past ten years, a number of statewide organizations and initiatives have emerged in support of volunteerism and service-learning. The current operating environment is fragmented, which promotes the possibilities for duplication of effort, competition for limited fmancial resources and minimizes opportunities for collaboration in service to local nonprofits. Given these potential inefficiencies, it seems unlikely that Michigan 's volunteer sector will realize its full potential. A recent California study suggests that the average tenure for an executive director in the nonprofit sector is four to five years. The study cites stress over capacity issues as well as barriers to further career development as major factors. Michigan corporations are experiencing a growing need to engage in local initiatives to improve the quality of life in the communities in which they are located. Increasingly, communities are looking to their corporate citizens to provide human resources - board members and volunteers - in support of community projects. Both corporations and nonprofit organizations are experiencing challenges in terms of their organizational capacities to effectively manage, maintain and support this community resource. Michigan families are encountering external demands on their time as never before. A study recently published estimated that fathers spend less than two hours of quality time with their children on a weekly basis. Many families are looking for opportunities to tum demands upon their time into opportunities to spend quality time together. Families that seek to engage in civic activities find that opportunities do not fit their ever-demanding schedules, do not align with the interests of their family members and require more time than a family can provide in any single incidence. With the demand for quality, family volunteer experiences increasing, local nonprofit organizations need specialized training and technical assistance to effectively serve this constituency. The nonprofit sector is the fastest growing of all of Michigan ' s economic sectors. This growth has created significant challenges for nonprofit organizations in terms of their organizational capacities to develop and manage human and financial resources necessary to forward their vital missions in the communities they serve. While there are a number of training and technical assistance services offered to the sector, accessibility is a significant issue for nonprofit organizations due to geographic and financial barriers. As research and planning continued, it became apparent that the existing infrastructure systems would have to be substantially overhauled to increase the capacity to serve Michigan's volunteer network. While the issue oflimited financial resources created a significant barrier to this undertaking, failure to develop and implement the required statewide support infrastructure certainly put past gains and future visions of local communities at risk. CMA is the result of a two-year strategic planning process. Additionally, MNA and MCSC will share a central location with CMA and its affiliates, which will reduce administrative expenses and duplication of services. This arrangement, modeled after successful reorganization strategies in the private-for-profit sector, enhances the technological capacity and customer service models of the partners. CMA is a model for the sustainability and effective support for the state' s nonprofit sector, volunteers, and service-learning educators. List of Other Organizations or Partners Participating in the Project and Their Roles S·\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative finaiS-7-01 doc Page 13of2 1 �Separate, but working in collaboration, the following organizations have combined to build a powerful force-infrastructure- for volunteerism in Michigan. Major components of CMA infrastructure include: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) - an association of 35 Michigan 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. MCC works to educate, support and recognize institutions of higher learning and their individual administrators, staff, faculty and students, 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 take an active role in their community by becoming directly involved with social issues and their solutions. MCC is the first organization in the country to include its member presidents, students, faculty, and staff in the development and implementation of service initiatives. This innovative approach to community problemsolving is one of the reasons MCC is an accomplished national leader in the service field; Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) - a governmental body created by executive order of the Governor in 1991 and codified in state law in 1994 that promotes service and volunteerism by leveraging state and federal funds to support and recognize local volunteer efforts. With an annual budget of more than $13 million in state, federal and private funds , the MCSC is committed to enabling all citizens, including youth, to engage in public problem solving through service and volunteerism. The MCSC fulfills this mission through a number of programs, projects and activities. The MCSC also works to nurture the efforts of individuals, human service agencies, programs, businesses and corporations to maintain their momentum and help them grow to create partnerships for new opportunities for volunteerism and to marshal new or existing resources to meet the needs of the people and the communities we share. The MCSC is a catalyst for positive community change, stimulating innovative programs that meet community needs through service. MCSC is a convener to bring diverse individuals and groups together, building communities through shared efforts and common goals. MCSC acts as a broker of ideas and resources, encouraging collaboration and entrepreneurial approaches to service and volunteer program development. Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA)- an association for nonprofits that gives voice and support to the vast array of nonprofit organizations and the constituents they serve throughout the state. MNA' s 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. MNA convenes nonprofit leaders as well as the leadership of government and private sectors. MNA increases understanding of the nonprofit sector, confronts common issues and concerns and promotes collaboration. MNA encourages voluntary giving and service. MNA disseminates information important to defining the sector, its scope and values on management/technical needs of organizations in the sector, fostering communication and collaboration in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. MNA takes an active role in public policy that affects the nonprofit sector. MNA provides programs and services that enhance the sector by strengthening organizational capacities; and Volunteer Centers of Michigan CVCM)- a statewide network of36 volunteer centers that help local communities match volunteers with volunteer opportunities. VCM ' s mission is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide. VCM supports local volunteer centers in their efforts to mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. To this end, VCM programs and services include member mailings, workshops and seminars, local S:\CMA\community foundations\Kalamazoo\proposal narrative final 8-7-0I .doc Page 14 of21 �consultations, quarterly meetings, semiannual Volunteerism SuperConference, grantmaking, a resource library and public relations initiatives. VCM was the first management service organization of its type in the country to employ a fu11-time staff to more efficiently and effectively serve its constituency. In addition, VCM has developed a national model accreditation program for local volunteer centers. Description of How This Project Applies to Kalamazoo Community Foundation 's Operating Principles See the Broad View CMA is the result of a strategic planning process that engaged local Volunteer Centers and college and university service-learning programs in defining the futures of the local communities they serve. CMA was established to ensure an effective statewide infrastructure is in place to support initiatives to impact a neighborhood, an institution, and/or a system in local communities in every Michigan community. CMA will provide critical support to increase the organizational capacities of Kalamazoo-based initiatives. See the Long View Investing in CMA ensures the essential infrastructure necessary to support local volunteer and service-learning will remain in place into perpetuity. The quality of life of future Kalamazoo residents will be enhanced by your investment today. Create Synergies CMA is an excellent example of a good solution through the combined efforts of many. Local leaders from communities throughout the state collaborated in the development and establishment of this statewide support structure that is critical to the success of their efforts at the local level. And, by its very nature, CMA encourages communities to address systemic, concentrated issues by engaging multiple partners on multiple fronts to promote new solutions. CMA provides opportunities on local, regional, and statewide levels to network and disseminate information. Enhance Nonprofit Capacity CMA was established to positively impact the organizational capacities of local nonprofit organizations. CMA increases local nonprofit organizations accessibility to capacity-building training and technical assistance, and expands the promotion of volunteerism and civicengagement at the local level. Statement of Projects Efforts and Policies to Include and Involve Diverse Individuals and Groups By its very nature, ConnectMichigan Alliance will engage diverse individuals and groups. Both MCC and VCM are membership organizations supporting local nonprofit organizations that represent diverse constituencies that comprise the local communities in which they operate. Under the CMA administrative nexus, both organizations will continue to provide support, training and technical assistance to local nonprofit organizations and educational institutions as they work to improve the quality of life throughout their respective communities. 3. Evaluation Plans for Evaluation, Including How Success Will be Defined and Measured Evaluation has been a critical component of the work of the founding partners prior to the creation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The Volunteer Centers of Michigan, Michigan S ICMAicommunity foundationsi Kalamazoolproposal nliiTlltive finaiS-7-01 doc Page 15of21 �Campus Compact and the Michigan Nonprofit Association have been contracting with the Ann Arbor based firm, Formative Evaluation Research Associates (FERA) since 1995 . The evaluation work has measured the success and challenges of programs and the overall effectiveness of the three organizations. The evaluation was utilized in the strategic planning efforts that led to the development of the ConnectMichigan Alliance. As CMA enters into its first fiscal year, it is essential that the evaluation work continue. The CMA Board ofTrustees has dedicated a portion of their September board meeting to discuss the development of an evaluation plan. The Board is developing a six member committee comprising of trustees from each of the four founding partners and two at-large members. The committee will be charged with the tasks of selecting an evaluation firm. CMA will conduct a request for proposal process to select an evaluator. It is anticipated that CMA Evaluation Committee will select an evaluator by early October. The committee will be looking for firms and individuals that have experience in not only program evaluation but also evaluating strategic alliances and mergers. As the Evaluation Committee works with the evaluator in the development of its evaluation plan, it will utilize three types of evaluation models: context, formative and outcome. The first model of context evaluation will be critically important as CMA documents the successes and challenges of working in a merged environment. Each region of the state has its own demographics, politics and nuances, which the context evaluation will be useful in assessing. As we develop programs and models with local organizations throughout the state, knowing the regional, political and cultural factors contribute or impede progress will be helpful in program design. The second model of formative evaluation will be important as we begin to develop new programs and evaluate our new strategic partnership. The board anticipates the new relationship will be continuously maturing and constant review of the process will strengthen the systems of CMA. The last model of outcome evaluation will be our primary methodology utilized in our evaluation plan. The organization will address the short and long term program objectives. The plan will be a key tool in satisfying program expansion and donor interest in the success of the endowment. As the board develops an external evaluation plan, the CMA staff is charged with the development of an internal evaluation plan. Staff will conduct program monitoring, event evaluations, constituent surveys and local focus groups. These activities are currently practiced by the existing organizations and have been found to be an effective tool in program development and enhancement. Description of How Evaluation Results Will be Used by the Organization Replication ofCMA in other states is very probable, as organizations throughout the country have expressed interest in establishing a similar strategy in their states. Evaluation results will not only be key to ensuring quality service in Michigan, but to also provide documented evidence of best practice to other states.

The endowment on an annual basis allows the organization to sustain current initiatives and focus on the development of new programs. Though the endowment earnings will be significant, it is anticipated that the ConnectMichigan Alliance will continue to fundraise on a limited basis. New dollars that CMA will seek on a li)Tlited basis will be for new program development versus operational costs. ConnectMichigan Alliance will rely on the endowment earnings, program fees, corporate sponsorships and fees for service for revenue generation. It is not anticipated that CMA will seek funding through membership or annual campaigns. �Fund Advancement Plan Lead Gifts- $2,000,000 by December 31, 2000 FOUNDATION C.S. Mott Foundation W.K.

Lore Executive Director ConnectMichigan Alliance 1048 Pierpont, Ste. 3 Lansing MI 4891 Dear John: Board of Trustees David L. Hatfield Chair Jeffery L. DeNooyer Vice Chair }. Louis Felton Judith L. Maze At the recent meeting of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation Board of Trustees, your request for a $100,000.00 contribution to the ConnectMichigan Alliance statewide endowment fund was reviewed. As you know, the greater Kalamazoo community has a long and distinguished history of civic engagement and philanthropy. Our Board of Trustees has always been supportive of local efforts that promote and facilitate the lifelong ethic of volunteerism. However, after considerable discussion, the Trustees felt they would be unable to respond affirmatively at this time due to your organization's emphasis on statewide service delivery, a lack of local representation on the governing board, and the exact nature of the funding request. Traditionally, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation has had a policy not to provide support for endowments. Therefore, the Trustees found it necessary to place a higher priority on other projects and programs presented at its meeting. Marilyn J. Schlack Ronda E. Stryker Donald J.Vander Kooy John E. Hopkins President/CEO Although the Foundation cannot be of assistance, we do hope that you will be able to secure necessary funding from other sources. Sincerely, David D. Gardiner Vice President, Programs cc: Jack Hopkins For good. For ever.5 �Page 1 of 1 Tim Swope From: John Lore [lorejohn@msu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 4:34 PM To: Bill Richardson; Dottie Johnson Cc: Tim Swope; Amy Smitter; Judy Tymowicz; Kate Sperti; Kimberly Lane; Kyle Caldwell; Sam Singh Subject: Funding update! Bill and Dottie: The Ford Motor Company Fund gift will help us on the Chrysler and General Motors gifts. We are currently communicating with Frank Fountain to leverage the Chrysler request, which is currently on the table. The Ford gift should set the pattern and amount for Chrysler and General Motors. When we receive the Chrysler gift we will have Michelle approach Rod Gilliam at General Motors directly. This should also help on the Kresge request. Kyle is sending the information to you and Dottie by carbon copies of a letter to me, on the Commission's support of CityYear, which is a pet project of John Marshall's. We have funded that project for over $1,800,000 dollars over the last three years at a level of $750,000 dollars a year. The $1,000,000 is small payback from Kresge. That information will be sent from Kyle by hard copy. I am also sending a copy of the letter of decline (hard copy) from the Kalamazoo Community Foundation. In my opinion this is a very shortsighted action on their part. The letter of declination to me was not even sent by Jack. Not much class!!!!! I will be out of the office frequently for the next two weeks. However, I will monitor my cell phone continuously during my travels. If you need me I can be reached at 517.974.4801. Please call me if you have any questions. If you need to fax materials, I will be close to the fax number 989.891.9315. John S.

Richardson March 1,2002 Dr. Robert Long Vice President for Programs Philanthropy and Volunteerism W.K. Kellogg Foundation One Michigan Avenue East Battle Creek, Michigan 49017 Dear Robert: ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is requesting a grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation of $500,000.00 for the next two fiscal years, to insure that the fundraising and programming capacity of the Alliance and those served by CMA is secured for the future. The specific amount requested from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation is $125,000.00 in the year 2002 and $125,000.00 in the year 2003. An equal amount is being requested from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. As a result of the declining economy and the terrorist action of September 11, 2001, the operational income expected from monies raised for CMA has fallen short of original projections. From the thirty major contributors who have supported CMA to date, in the amount of $5,507,660.00, only two have paid the pledge in total. The rest of the contributors have made pledges for multiple years, with the average being five years. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that the State of Michigan has been extremely generous in matching pledges as well as cash, the economy has been such that the interest earned on the approximately $7.5 million, in the permanent endowment, has been much less than budgeted for the operations and for the staffing of the program coordinator (who was to be hired in September of 2001), which has been pushed back to July of 2002. Because of this shortfall we will be required to seek permission to take funds from our permanent endowment corpus by April of this year, if we do not receive support from the W.K. Kellogg and Charles Stewart Mott Foundations. Campaign Cabinet Edward O. Blews Carolyn Bloodworth Nonie Brennan Stanley P. Caine Richard Cole Robert Collier Neeta Delaney David 0. Egner Eric R.

Kellogg and Charles Stewart Mott Foundations will allow us to complete the fundraising and match the $10,000,000.00 challenge from the State of Michigan to create the $20 million endowment and begin the work of programming coordination which will fulfill the Mission of CMA to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives. Connect Michigan Alliance P.O. Box 22004 Lansing, Michigan 48909-2004 • phone 888-242-7075 fax 517-241-3869 Building, Strengthening and Investing in Michigan Communities A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission. Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan �Dr. Robert Long Page 2 March 1,2002 CM A was created to ensure strong, stable and coordinated support for Michigan's volunteers. Through a $20 million endowment, CMA is uniting the combined forces of its founding partners to permanently sustain and expand the "volunteer infrastructure" for which Michigan is known and heralded. All of the partners of this initiative have developed innovative approaches to working effectively on a statewide level with varied constituencies in ways that serve as national models. Once the campaign is complete, CMA will have the capacity to fully advance upon achieving its goal of providing avenues for every Michigan citizen to serve their community through volunteer service and civic action. This goal will be met in local communities throughout Michigan by: • • • • • • Providing increased access to training and technical assistance necessary to build the capacity of local nonprofits to meet their communities' most pressing social, charitable, economic, cultural, educational, faith-based, and civic needs; Providing access to a strong and healthy Volunteer Center for every resident; Increasing grant opportunities for Volunteer Centers to engage more citizens in volunteerism and service; Increasing grant opportunities for service-learning programs to engage more young people in service; Maximizing state and federal government resources to empower local communities to address their local challenges; and Increasing the understanding and use of service-learning in the work of community-based nonprofits, K-12 schools and higher education institutions. CMA programs and services address four areas of need, which were identified through a two-year planning process that engaged more than seventy executives representing local nonprofit organizations. Those areas include Youth Volunteerism, Community Volunteerism, Higher Education, and Training and Technical Assistance. More than seventy local nonprofit leaders from communities throughout Michigan participated in a two-year planning process. Their charge was to create a vision for their local communities by drawing upon their common experiences �Dr. Robert Long Page 3 March 1,2002 in the development of a statewide strategic plan that would have significant impact and relevance at the local level. In their deliberations, planners considered the following facts: Overall Significance of Michigan's Volunteers • Almost 90 percent of all charitable organizations, participating in Public Sector Consultants' (PSC) 1997 survey, rely on volunteers. Charitable organizations indicated they averaged 180 volunteers and nearly 9,500 volunteer hours, which translates to 4.6 full-time workers per organization. PSC estimates that more than 1 million volunteers contribute nearly 60 million hours to Michigan nonprofit organizations, an equivalent of more than 28,000 full-time employees and nearly $760 million in donated labor. • According to Michigan Giving & Volunteering, a 1999 statewide report published jointly by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, 46.7 percent of Michigan adults volunteered during the past twelve months - the majority indicating they are volunteering more hours annually than in the past. • Michigan Giving & Volunteering also revealed that 81.3 percent of those who did not volunteer in 1999 indicated they had not been asked to do so over half said they had been volunteers in the past. Changing Dynamics and Capacity Challenges in Supporting Volunteerism and Service-Learning • As a requirement for graduation, many school districts and institutions of higher education are mandating students complete a set number of hours of volunteer service annually. While the intent is to civically engage young people in a meaningful experience, the need for formal training available to nonprofit organizations, to the schools and to youth far exceeds its availability. • The percentage of students engaged in service-learning through institutions of higher education has annually increased at a double-digit pace over the past several years. Over 17 million hours of service were contributed by undergraduates nation wide. As this trend continues, institutions of higher education will require expanded support services such as those provided by CMA to ensure the quality of service-learning programs. • Michigan corporations are experiencing a growing need to engage in local initiatives to improve the quality of life in the communities in which they are located. Increasingly, communities are looking to their corporate citizens to provide human resources - board members and volunteers - in �Dr. Robert Long Page 4 March 1,2002 support of community projects. Both corporations and nonprofit organizations are experiencing challenges in terms of their organizational capacities to effectively manage, maintain and support this community resource. • Family volunteerism is a growing trend as many families are looking for opportunities to spend quality time together in service to their communities. With the demand for quality family volunteer experiences increasing, local nonprofit organizations need specialized training and technical assistance to effectively serve this constituency. The ConnectMichigan Alliance endowment was created to provide resources for innovative grantmaking, program development, and operational costs. On an annual basis, the endowment allows the organization to sustain current initiatives and focus on the development of new programs. Though the endowment earnings will be significant, it is anticipated that the CMA will continue to fundraise on a limited basis. New dollars that CMA will seek on a limited basis will support new program development versus operational costs. CMA will rely on the endowment earnings, program fees, corporate sponsorships and fees for service for revenue generation. It is not anticipated that CMA will seek funding through membership or annual campaigns. Attached to this letter is a five year revenue and expense budget with a detailed memorandum on the start up year and years 2002 through 2006. Thank you for you consideration in this matter.

Within 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period, you must send us the information needed to determine whether you have met the requirements of the applicable support test during the advance ruling period. If you establish that you have been a publicly supported organization, we will classify you as a section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) organization as long as you continue to meet the requirements of the applicable support test. If you do not meet the public support requirements during the advance ruling period, we will classify you as a private foundation for future periods. Also, if we classify you as a private foundation, we will treat you as a private foundation from your beginning date for purposes of section 507(d) and 4940.

Please note that all funds were expended in accordance with the Terms of Grant agreement. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is a valued partner in CMA. You were one the earliest supporters of the CMA concept and your example of support clearly encouraged other funding sources to join you as a CMA partner. As we enter the final phase of this campaign, we expect many potential funders to recognize your support and leadership as they consider our proposals. CMA is an exciting endeavor that has created a model of best practice for the rest of the nation. W.K. Kellogg Foundation continues to play a major role in moving CMA from concept to reality in Michigan. We are grateful. Please feel free to contact me at (517) 492-2440 if you have any questions regarding CMA or the CMA endowment campaign. Campaign Cabinet Edward 0. Slews Carolyn Bloodworth Nonie Brennan Stanley P.

Strengthening and Investing in Michigan Communities A partnership of: Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Volunteer Centers of Michigan �ConnectMichigan Alliance Narrative Update 2001-2002 The mission of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives. By creating a $20 million endowment, through private and community foundation contributions, as well as a $10 million challenge from the state of Michigan, CMA's mission will be forwarded into perpetuity. Since its inception in 2000, CMA has housed two long standing and successful programs: Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) and Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). These two programs were an obvious fit into the partnership of CMA, based on their own missions and visions. Through the leadership of ConnectMichigan Alliance, these programs have accomplished the following over the past year: Michigan Campus Compact: Michigan Campus Compact promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement. Through their partnership with the ConnectMichigan Alliance, MCC has been able to advance this mission by providing grant opportunities to students, faculty and staff at their thirty-four member campuses throughout the state of Michigan. Additionally, MCC has joined forces with other state Compacts to form the Midwest Collaboration (MWC). The MWC is currently involved in the "Raise Your Voice Campaign: Student Action for Change". The disengagement of America's youth has serious implications for their ability to address public issues for the future of democratic politics. Increasing student civic engagement is at the core of Campus Compact's mission, as well as the mission of CMA, which focuses on "the civic purpose of higher education." Through this initiative, Michigan Campus Compact will call upon the talents and energies of students to participate in the renewal of American democracy. The goals of the campaign are: Increase student involvement in public life; Highlight and document student civic engagement activities; and Empower students while making civic engagement central to student learning. MCC, with CMA partner the Michigan Community Service Commission, has co-sponsored the Institute on Academic Service Learning each winter at a member campus. This year's institute is scheduled for February 13-14 at Central Michigan University. Last year's Institute was a great success. Faculty and Staff from around the state and country attended, with over 300 persons learning from the programs and events. Attendance rises every year. Two keynote speakers, Dr. Barbara Holland and Dr. Jim Kilsmeier, kept the group challenged and engaged. MCC offers a Service Learning Camp at the beginning of the academic calendar, for all students, and Service Advisors, of the MCC member campuses. On September 27-29, 2002, Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) held their annual Service Leadership Camp at Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville, MI. This camp allowed 112 college students and advisors from 18 member campuses to come together to participate in planning and learning about community service, service-learning and civic engagement as a part of their education, and how they can take their experiences back to their campus and put them into action. Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) annually hosts the 2!/2-day training for teams of college students and their advisors from across the state who are interested in community service and service-learning in higher education. The MCC Service Leadership Camp: Provides an environment and opportunity for team building among campus teams; Encourages informal networking and coalition building among those with a common interest in community service on their campus and across the state; Assists teams in meeting their specific needs during "team time". This time can be used for creating an action plan for the year to come, program planning, organizational development, and more; Explores important components of service/service-leaming, civic responsibility and leadership through interactive workshop sessions. Highlights of this year's Service Leadership Camp included keynote presentations from Daniel Caron on "Original �Play" and Johnnie Tuitel of the Alternatives in Motion organization on "Handicapitolism: The Power of Human Spirit". Students also participated in content session including Leading Lives of Commitment, Student Advocacy, and Fundraising Through Creative Thinking. Additionally, MCC is a sponsor of colloquiums and forums throughout the year on Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. MCC also sponsors many annual awards for faculty and staff, as well as students, on their member campuses. The Faculty Staff Service Learning Awards are held each year in conjunction with the Institute on Academic ServiceLearning. In addition, MCC holds the Outstanding Student Service Awards in the spring of each year. Recently, MCC was awarded a grant to implement the Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Campus Community Partnership Award in the state of Michigan. This award will highlight the importance of long lasting, dynamic campus community collaborations and will carry a cash award to both the campus and community partner. MCC is one of only two grants given this year and, along with Minnesota and Massachusetts, will pioneer the award outside of Georgia. Volunteer Centers of Michigan The mission of VCM is to strengthen existing volunteer centers, to provide leadership in developing new centers, and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide. Through their partnership with CM A, VCM has been able to provide their 34 member Volunteer Centers with support that is unmatched in the state. VCM has been instrumental in providing advocacy training and guidance to their membership. This allowed the VCM member Centers to remain involved in the advocacy of federal funding of the Volunteer Center National Network through appropriations under the Citizen Service Act. Issues closer to home were determined by the membership to be of highest priority for public education and advocacy efforts. These opportunities allowed VCM to construct legislative priorities as follows: 1. Support, protect and expand Michigan's Volunteer Investment Grants. 2. Advocate federal reauthorization process under Citizen Service Act of 2002- including first-time appropriation to Volunteer Centers National Network. 3. Generate operating dollars from local and state levels. 4. Create tax incentives for corporate and individual volunteers. 5. Increase tax incentives (tax credits) for donations to aU_501(c) (3)'s. Additionally, VCM is sponsoring a statewide program involving all member Volunteer Centers (34) in recognizing high school graduates who volunteer a significant number of community service hours during the course of their high school career. As far as we can tell, this is the only such statewide program in the country. Students will complete and document 400 hours of non-paid service that meet recognized community needs, under the auspices of a nonprofit organization, government programs, community group or school. The following types of activities would qualify, and would be certified by the local Volunteer Center: • Direct Service, such as river clean up, tutoring, spending time with a nursing home resident • Indirect Service, such as computer data entry, fundraising, food collection, board or committee work for a nonprofit • Civic Engagement, advocacy or community organizing, such as beautification, mural painting, community surveys Students will periodically complete an evaluation form and reflective summary of their experience that will build in a learning piece as well as an outcome measurement component during their years of volunteer service. Recognition will take place at the high school honors (or awards) event. The student will receive: • A medallion of distinction, to be worn at commencement exercises • A Certificate of Distinction for Commitment to Service from the community Volunteer Center • Community-wide recognition by the Volunteer Center during National Volunteer Week Pilot Program: In order to test the program, seven Volunteer Centers are piloting this statewide program during the 2002-2003 school year. The number of hours is reduced proportionately during this first year for graduating seniors. The pilot program will involve Volunteer Centers from Michigan's upper peninsula, and northern, mid- and southern lower peninsula. These Centers each will work with at least one high school during the pilot year. Long-term Goal: Within five years, all VCM member Volunteer Centers will be working with 75% of the high schools in their catchments area. �VCM has collaborated with Michigan Association of United Ways (MAUW) to determine what the factors are that contribute to a strong United Way Volunteer Center. About half of Michigan's Volunteer Centers are United Way programs. While independent 501(c) (3) Volunteer Centers have their own challenges to confront, those that are programs internal to other agencies have different issues to consider. MAUW and VCM have hosted a series of conference calls and meetings among the United Way directors and the affiliate Volunteer Center directors of five Michigan United Ways. They explored structure, relationships, community image and impact, in an effort to assist other communities to emulate those characteristics that foster success. This information will be especially useful to start-up United Way Volunteer Centers. Finally, VCM's member Centers have provided national leadership to the Volunteerism effort. VCM is concluding our work in compiling a guidebook to establishing and maintaining a Volunteer Center State or Regional Association. The VCM Director and Aaron Cantrell (Kalamazoo) were speakers for the Illinois Association of Volunteer Centers annual training event. The VCM Director and Nonie Brennan (VCNNC Board and CMA Board) presented at the Northern Ohio Regional Conference on Volunteering. Kathy Rossow (POLF United Network Task Force and CMA Board) was instrumental in introducing Title III of the Citizens Service Act to Congressional members in March. Dale WeighilFs (VCM Executive Committee and CMA Board) advocacy strategy was so successful that a letter he authored has become the template for education efforts by POLF. Other CMA Programs: As CMA concludes the $20 million fundraising campaign on June 1, 2003, we move forward in promoting the concept of a lifelong ethic of service. CMA has hired a program coordinator who currently leads the Michigan's Promise/America's Promise statewide effort. Since this program was transferred to CMA from the Michigan Community Service Commission in the Fall of 2002, there has been much contact with the 26 Communities of Promise (COPs). Site visits are planned for all 26 by the Spring of 2003. This program is, again, a natural fit to with CMA, and it will flourish under its wing. Additionally, CMA is in discussions with other youth philanthropy and civic oriented programs, to provide these service on a statewide level, to breakdown the silos that have been created at all levels of volunteerism and engagement. Specifically, the stakeholders of the Michigan Civics Summit will convene in a meeting sponsored by the ConnectMichigan Alliance, to determine the next logical step in the continuation and expansion of that program, as well as to discuss the following: 1. 2. 3. Goals, Purpose, Mission and Vision Constituency Served Plans for the Future Because funds raised for the ConnectMichigan Alliance are matched one to one by the state of Michigan, and placed in endowment at the Capital Region Community Foundation, CMA has the potential to sustain itself indefinitely.

Virgil and I met on April 15 to forge an arrangement that we felt would work for us and respond to the Kresge grant request. Virgil indicated that he wanted to talk to John Marshall directly. I do not know if that discussion (between John and Virgil) ever took place. Virgil scheduled a luncheon for Jacqueline Jones (his group vice president) and me on June 18, at the DAC to discuss this arrangement. I think he had planned to meet with John Marshall, or you prior to that date. I will still meet with Jacqueline Jones. However, I suspect that the staffing decision will have to wait until a leadership decision has been made at the United Way Community Services of Detroit, unless of course, John and Virgil did discuss this plan prior to Virgil's death. Since I did not hear from Virgil I have know idea how we should proceed until a new leader is appointed. Any direction from you or John would be appreciated.

Do you want to approach John Marshall first for a discussion between the two of you? Or, do you want me to schedule a meeting with you, me John and Elizabeth? Since John seemed somewhat concerned about Detroit, you need to determine which avenue will be most successful.

Lore, President and CEO, ConnectMichigan Alliance Mr. Virgil H. Carr, President and CEO, United Way Community Services From: Ms. Kate Sperti, ConnectMichigan Alliance Date: April 29, 2003 RE: Placement of a Southeastern Michigan Program Officer Per your meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2003,1 have compiled the following information and recommendations regarding a Southeastern Michigan based Program Officer, to be contracted by the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) through United Way Community Services (UWCS). The terms of this position will be as follows. 1. The Southeastern Michigan Program Officer will report directly to Mr. Carr or his group vice president and CMA will contract with their office for that person's services. 2. The Southeastern Michigan Program Officer will spend a maximum of one day per week in the CMA Lansing Office interacting with the Lansing Program Coordinator and other CMA Partner Program representatives. This person is expected to attend statewide volunteer conferences sponsored by CMA or one of its partners. 3. While in the Lansing office, the Southeastern Michigan Program Officer will report directly to Dr. Lore. That reporting relationship will focus on statewide program activities only. All personnel issues, such as evaluations, performance appraisals and work place benefits will be within the purview of UWCS. The Southeastern Michigan Program Officer is a contract employee to CMA. 4. CMA will cover up to 50% of the Program Coordinator's salary and travel expenses to CMA or Partner activities. All travel expenses must be approved by Mr. Carr, or his group vice president, or Dr. Lore. 5. CMA will provide office space in the Lansing office for the Southeastern Michigan Program Officer. 6. The Southeastern Michigan Program Officer position could be filled in late July or August of 2003. If CMA does not begin to receive substantial payment of current pledges, the creation of the position will be pushed back until September of 2003. CMA will keep Mr. Carr informed of their fundraising activities. The benefits of this position are multiple. The connections made by this person, as a member of the southeastern Michigan community, will increase the capacity for Detroit and southeastern Michigan organizations to have more skilled and dedicated volunteers and Board members because of increased access to regional professional development workshops and seminars. Specific emphasis will be placed on fund advancement, volunteer management, and volunteer programming. �The George W. Romney Volunteer Center, at UWCS, as well as other regional Volunteer Centers, will be able to increase their organizational capacities to provide universal access for every southeastern Michigan citizen to serve, using resources throughout the state. Detroit, and all southeastern Michigan, organizations will have access to statewide resources necessary to convene local partners in the development of market-specific programming that encourages youth volunteerism, family volunteerism, rural business volunteer councils, and urban corporate volunteer councils. Thousands of Detroit students will experience the benefits of volunteerism before graduating from high school and will have increased learning through "hands-on" and meaningful learning opportunities that integrated with "real-life" experiences, utilizing organizations beyond the traditional metropolitan Detroit boundaries. Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) will increase service-learning and civic engagement programming to reach all metropolitan Detroit institutions of higher education. This programming includes statewide conferences for students, faculty and staff of the membership institutions of higher education. Detroit organizations will have increased capacity for programming that may include, but is not limited to, America's Promise, Make A Difference Day, National Volunteer Week, and National Youth Service Day, or any other statewide program created or promoted by any of the CMA Partners. Detroit organizations will have increased capacity to promote initiatives and recognize the impact of individuals and groups that participate in service-learning, civic engagement and volunteerism in communities throughout the State. By establishing this position, which will be based at United Way Community Services, and in Lansing at the CMA offices, the collaborative relationships between CMA and its local partners in Southeastern Michigan, which include: United Way Community Services, local school districts such as Detroit Public Schools, Madonna University, Saint Mary's College of Ave Maria University, Schoolcraft College, University of Michigan -- Dearborn, Wayne State University, and the Southeastern Michigan Nonprofit Continuum, whose members include the Accounting Aid Society, Detroit Executive Service Corps, Michigan Nonprofit Association and Michigan Legal Services, will be galvanized and opened to statewide resources. Additionally, many of the consultants that CMA works with in providing service to nonprofits throughout the state are located in the Detroit area. The addition of a Southeastern Michigan/Detroit based program officer is essential in maintaining quality relationships with professional consultants in Southeastern Michigan and the entire State. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Each year the Board of Trustees will develop their goals and include a target amount for the overall annual campaign (see Annual Campaign Shucture and the CMA FY 2005-06 Budget attached) based on needs, capacity and cmTent market expectations. For FY 2005-06, the CMA Board of Trustees established a campaign goal of $100,000. Focusing on the Challenge and the Opportunity The Michigan service and volunteer landscape is envied by many. Michigan is a leader because of the collaborative and cooperative nature by which state and local organizations work together, the entrepreneurial spirit ofleaders, and the strong public and private sector support for service and volunteerism. While the general and day-to-day support for the components of CMA is partially assured through our endowment, much larger needs remain that require focused leadership and dedicated suppmt. Significant challenges include: • Communicating the Cause. CMA remains an evolving and growing organization that is only now just beginning find its potential. While CMA's innovative constmction provides both an innovative and enduring tool, it also presents a vety difficult challenge to explain and promote. How can the need and value for service and volunteering be articulated in compelling terms? How can the impact of local ~[forts be shared to communicate the needfor all to serve? What means are most effective in articulating the needfor human and financial support ofservice and vohmteerism? • Supporting Local Innovation Communities across Michigan are fettile ground for incubating innovative programs and initiatives that can demonstrate how service and voluntcerism may serve as enduring methods of community problem solving. How can local commtmities expand innovative models? How can CMA empower local organizations to engage more individuals in service and volunteerism? 3 �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Supporting Local Innovation: $30,000 • • Mini-grants to volunteer centers, communities of promise, campus compact schools and others to reward, highlight and expand innovative programs. Local recognition programs that provide a local spotlight on programs that work to build and ethic of service in communities. Developing and Strengthening Leadership: $10,000 • • • Creation of customized leadership institutes tailored to the needs of CMA partners, programs and affiliates that begin to develop the next leaders in their respective expertise areas. Scholarships available to local communities to send individuals to state, national and international training oppmiunities. Brokering state, national and international experts to work with CMA partners, programs and affiliates on the critical issues facing local service and volunteer leaders. Researching Trends and Measuring Impact: $25,000 • • • • Create, maintain and publish an annual assessment (map) of the cunent reach of CMA programs, members and affiliates. Develop a partnership with research and evaluation organizations to determine the shmi- and long-term impact of service and volunteerism through the CMA Institutionalize a comprehensive and interactive database that can utilize local and statewide data to analyze how CMA is reaching out to communities. Pminering with research institutions in an attempt to utilize existing polling, tracking and survey processes to measure how service and volunteerism are potentially impacting community issues (i.e. education, health care, housing, economic development, civic engagement, children's issues) Advantages to Donors and ConnectMichigan Alliance The fonnation of the ConnectMichigan Alliance, as its name implies, brought together organizations in a way that maximized each organization's expertise and complemented each organization's needs. The fonnation of the financial structure was not different. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign brought together the public and private sectors tlu·ongh a challenge grant from the State of Michigan that was matched by the private sector dollar for dollar. These resources were entrusted in the Capital Region Community Foundation which provided donors the security they needed to be sure the funds would be handled effectively, but also provided donors with state tax incentives not available to them tlu·ough donations to other nonprofit causes. 5 �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Campaign Structure ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Campaign Structure F¥2005-06 Goal: Number of Donors 10 5 5 2 2 $ 100,000.00 Total From Organizations $ 1,000-$ 2,499 $ 2,500 - $ 4,999 s 5,000-$ 9,999 $10,000 - $24,999 $25,000-$49,999 $50,000+ $150,000.00 1 25 Number of Donors 10 5 5 5 10 15 50 Campaign Goal Overall Total Prospects Total Prospects over Goal Total Number of Givers Total Average Per Giver 7 Total From Individuals $ $ $ $ $ up to$ 99 $100 $250 $500 $750 $ 1000+ 27,250.00 100,000.00 177,250.00 77,250.00 75 2,363.33 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Board of Trustees and an exemplary fundraising cabinet, the ConnectMichigan Alliance is blessed with an endowment of nearly $20 million in assets. The organization's endowment, while still forming due to outstanding pledges and a creeping economic market climate, will someday grow to provide greater levels of support and help to undetwrite the basic operations of the Alliance in perpetuity. Today, the ConnectMichigan Alliance must stand ready to meet the unique and enduring challenges to our volunteer infrastructure and exploit the opportunities those very challenges present. To do so, the organization and its leadership need to begin to create the climate bold action and support inherent to all successful nonprofit organizations. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund will be a first step toward ensuring that the ConnectMichigan Alliance can: • address the ever-evolving changes in the nonprofit sector; • exploit new opportunities that create relevant and needed new local programs and initiatives; • communicate and highlight the great work that local connnunity-based initiatives; • research trends that might impact the service and volunteer infrastructure; and • develop leadership at the local level that can support and enhance the growth of Michigan's ethic of service to others. In addition to the added value of support to local communities, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund Campaign will strengthen the organization by: • ensuring partners and funders that the organization's board and staff are fully engaged with I 00% giving; • creating the opportunity for the organization to develop and maintain a threemonth operating reserve; • providing a small pool of readily-available unrestricted funds; • establishing the organization's fundraising abilities in preparation for future resource develop opportunities. �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY The Campaign The ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund will be supported by an annual campaign limited to the principals of the organization including the Board of Trustees and staff.

The ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund will provide the same opportunities by providing donors the option of giving directly to the ConnectMichigan Alliance (a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization), or one of several endowment funds designed to support the organization's work housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation that would allow donors to maximize their state tax credit options. Donors to the ConnectMichigan Alliance are fortunate to have these various options to help customize then· philanthropic interests. The ConnectMichigan Alliance benefits from this relationship because of the flexibility the Community Foundations can offer to the various nonprofits they support. These include providing options ranging from permanent endowment funds, agency funds that can utilize their corpus, and temporary funds that focus on specific events or causes with a determined end life. All of these options are available and augment the advantages to the ConnectMichigan Alliance's relationship with a Conununity Foundation.

CMA must to ensure that the needed skills exist to lead this movement. How can we ensure that the resources are available to train and skill generations ofleaders in the nonprofit sector? Where will the next generation of leadership learn the ethic ofservice and its role in our society? How can we ensure that the various sectors (institutions of education, workplace, and community based organizations) are lead by those who place service and volunteerism at the center of community problem solving? 3 �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY • Researching Trends and Measuring Impact Several factors impact how and whether individuals will serve. Knowing these factors can help inform CMA as to how the volunteer-based organizations we support can be even more effective. Who is volunteering, how often, where and why? What are the barriers to service? What roles do education, the workplace, family, and other societal issues play in forming the willingness of individuals to serve? Are nonprofits doing all they canto help volunteers aid in their missions? What measurable difference are volunteers making in communities and the lives of their residents?

Partnering with research institutions in an attempt to utilize existing polling, tracking and survey processes to measure how service and volunteerism are potentially impacting community issues (i.e. education, health care, housing, economic development, civic engagement, children's issues) CMA Overview The ConnectMichigan Alliance a cutting-edge nonprofit organization focused on building a lifelong ethic of service, volunteerism and civic engagement through organizations where we live, work and learn in Michigan. CMA is comprised of a number of partner organizations and programs that work in unison to ensure that a solid infrastructure exists to support local volunteer efforts. These organizations include: Michigan Community Se1vice Commission (MCSC), Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA), Michigan Campus Compact (MCC), Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM), Michigan's Promise and national service programs to support Mentor Michigan. These organizations and programs are vital to the landscape of support provided to nonprofits and charitable causes in our state. The MCSC and MNA are the founding partners of this public/private partnership and bring together the government and the nonprofit sector to advance the cause of volunteerism in our state. The MCC and VCM are the founding affiliates of CMA and represent higher education and community-based volunteering respectively. CMA provides the day-to-day operational, administrative and programmatic support to these organizations as they champion service and civic engagement opportunities across Michigan. Michigan can be proud of the work if these and many other organizations that work hard every day to harness the power of individuals to strengthen Michigan communities. With nearly half of all Michigan residents volunteering (according to Michigan Volunteering and Giving), it becomes ever more important to ensure that systems exist to charmel people's passions and intent toward opportunities to address genuine needs. This need to maximize human resources was why the founders of CMA embarked upon a $20 million 5 �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY endowment campaign to permanently support the Michigan service and volunteer infrastructure. That campaign was completed in December of2003. Today, the affiliate partners and programs of CMA are assured that their general operational and limited programmatic support is assured through the CMA Endowment Fund. With the Endowment and the Leadership Campaign, CMA is poised to expand the opportunities of Michigan's service and volunteer infrastructure! 6 �ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Campaign Structure FY2005-06 Goal: $ Number of Donors 10 5 5 2 2 1 25 100,000.00 Total From Organizations Number of Donors $ 1, 000- $ 2,499 10 $ 2,500 - $ 4,999 $ 5,000- $ 9,999 $10,000-$24,999 $ $25,000- $49,999 $50,000+ 150,000.00 5 5 5 10 15 50 Campaign Goal Overall Total Prospects Total Propects over Goal Total Number of Givers Total Average Per Giver Total From Individuals upto $ 99 $ $ $ $ $ $100 $250 $500 $750 $ 1000+ 27,250.00 100,000.00 177,250.00 77,250.00 75 2,363.33 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Board of Trustees and an exemplaty fundraising cabinet, the ConnectMichigan Alliance is blessed with an endowment of nearly $20 million in assets. The organization's endowment, while still fanning due to outstanding pledges and a creeping economic market climate, will someday grow to provide greater levels of support and help to underwrite the basic operations of the Alliance in perpetuity. Today, the ConnectMichigan Alliance must stand ready to meet the unique and enduring challenges to our volunteer infi'astmctnre and exploit the opportunities those very challenges present. To do so, the organization and its leadership need to begin to create the climate for bold action and suppmt inherent to all successful nonprofit organizations. The ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund will be a first step toward ensuring that the ConnectMichigan Alliance can: • address the ever-evolving changes in the nonprofit sector; • exploit new opportunities that create relevant and needed new local programs and initiatives; • communicate and highlight the great work oflocal community-based initiatives; • research trends that might impact the service and volunteer infrastmcture; and • develop leadership at the local level that can support and enhance the growth of Michigan's ethic of service to others. In addition to the added value of suppott to local communities, the ConnectMichigan Alliance Leadership Fund Campaign will strengthen the organization by: • ensuring pattnet'S and fnnders that the organization's board and staff are fully engaged with 100% giving; • creating the opportunity for the organization to develop and maintain a threemonth operating reserve; • providing a small pool of readily-available unrestricted funds; • establishing the organization's fundraising abilities in preparation for future resource development opportunities. �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY While the general and day-to-day support for the components of CMA is partially assured through our endowment, much larger needs remain that require focused leadership and dedicated suppoti. Significant challenges include: • Communicating the Cause. CMA remains an evolving and growing organization that is only now just beginning find its potential. While CMA' s innovative constmction provides both an innovative and enduring tool, it also presents a very difficult challenge to explain and promote. How can the need and value for service and volunteering be articulated in compelling terms? How can the impact of local efforts be shared to communicate the need for all to serve? What means are most effective in articulating the need for human and.financial support ofservice and volzmteerism? • Supporting Local Innovation Communities across Michigan are fertile ground for incubating innovative programs and initiatives that can demonstrate how service and volunteerism may serve as enduring methods of community problem solving. How can local communities expand innovative models? Ho;v can CMA empower local organizations to engage more individuals in service and volunteerism? . • Dcvclooin!! and Strengthening Leadership Any social movement, like ensuring that an ethic of service permeates the fabric of society in Michigan, requires the dedicated leadership of people. CMA must develop and strengthen leadership to ensure that the needed skills exist to lead this movement. How can we ensure that the resources are available to train and skill generations of leaders in the nonprofit sector? Where will the next generation of leadership learn the ethic ofservice and its role in our society? How can we ensure that the various sectors (institutions of education, workplace, and community based organizations) are led by those who place service and volunteerism at the center of community problem solving? 3 �DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY • Brokering state, national and international experts to work with CMA partners, programs and affiliates on the critical issues facing local service and volunteer leaders.

Because of its unique structure (an alliance of several organization supported by an endowment) and its leadership position nationally, it is often difficult to compare systems and philosophies with like organizations. In other words, without competition or similar organizations to compare CMA to, determining the operational procedures and expectations (including salaries) becomes difficult. However, the infonnation below attempts to provide some guidance to the CMA Board of Trustees to determine the overall priorities regarding the organization's positions on leadership, growth, and compensation. Leadership Goals When it was created in 2000, the ConnectMichigan Alliance was the only nonprofit of its kind. This remains tlue-no other statewide nonprofit alliance supporting service and volunteerism with an eight-figure endowment currently exists in Michigan or nationally. This places CMA in an unprecedented top tier leadership position and one that should be maintained. To do so, it becomes vitally important to ensure that the trustees attract and retain the highest level senior staff. The priority of the CMA Trustees will be to: • • • • develop a compensation plan that is competitive and fiscally prudent; gamer senior and executive staff with significant state and national experience; competitively seek talent respected and sought at either/both the state and national levels; and ensure CMA attracts and retains entrepreneurial spirited individuals and utilizes that spirit to the advantage of the organization. Growth Goals CMA currently includes four founding organizations and several programs all supported through the proceeds of a $19.4 million endowment. While this is an amazing accomplishment, it should not be looked upon as the end of the organization's potentialmuch to the contrary-it should be looked upon as the beginning. However, future growth will be determined by the organizational leadership and the ability to attract more partners and resources. CMA must align its goals and priorities for growth around its incentives for its leadership to achieve them. CMA will ensure growth by: • • • enhancing its resources through long- and shmt-tenn fund development; continually seeking opportunities for expanding its programs and partnerships in line with its mission; and maintaining the organization's cutting edge leadership at the state and national levels. �DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL~ FOR INTERNAL PURPOSES ONLY-DO NOT DISTRIBUTE 3.

You clearly understand the needs of local communities and the potential which service and volunteerism have for transforming communities. I am especially intrigued by your thoughts on the new way the national nonprofit landscape is shaping up in response to both the tragedies of September 11th and the President's call to service. The USA Freedom Corps and the President's agenda for charities present a number of tremendous opportunities for local communities and the many wonderful nonprofits that serve their needs. They also help to focus our nation and its citizens on the role each of us can play in strengthening our communities. Per your invitation for recommendations, suggestions and thoughts, I offer the attached information. On behalf of the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA), a new organization which is a collaboration of the Michigan Community Service Commission, the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, I invite your review of this document and invite you to re^||t on thj||jGte|||ial benefitf;f tales cajisoffer to this ;:!,new!natk)nal.,age/nda.

Many of the qualities that the President seeks to bring out in our citizens have been enhanced through the programs and initiatives we've been able to support through the CMA. There are a number of principles we have implemented in Michigan to ensure the quality and value of the programs and organizations we support. Again, thank you for your insights on the role for national service in community problem solving.

The USA Freedom Corps should reflect this reality. • States and local communities have developed strong public/private partnerships through service and volunteerism that can be utilized. The USA Freedom Corps should target these partnerships as potential models and structures • Communities are best able to define their needs, strategies and solutions. The USA Freedom Corps should provide adequate resources for communities to plan, collaborate and create innovative programs and partnerships that target national imperatives with local long-term solutions. • Homeland security and community service require a strong local "infrastructure" to implement and support local efforts (i.e. Vounteer Centers, K-12 and Higher Education, National Service, etc.). The USA Freedom Corps must invest in this "infrastructure" as a means of delivering quality programming in a cost effective manner. Recommendations: 1. Allow states and local communities to help define what constitutes "homeland security" and the role(s) volunteer centers, higher education institutions, national service and other volunteer programs can play in ensuring the safety of our communities. 2. Provide the lion's share of the resources for implementation of the Citizen Corps and USA Freedom Corps programs generally (except Peace Corps) to states and local communities based on their needs and plans. 3. Make the resources flexible so that governors, mayors, community leaders and local citizens can innovate. Red tape and overly cumbersome national requirements can stifle creativity. 4. Use states and local communities as incubators for solutions much as the government has done for welfare reform, education, workforce development and other human services programs. 5. Provide dialogues for states and local communities to provide input on the needs and solutions to homeland security issues. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
