arm ofMNA is extremely important. E. Skene reviewed The Michigan Nonprofit
Agenda- Recommendations for State Policymakers. She noted that about 85
organizations have signed on thus far. The Public Policy Committee has agreed
that the top three issues are: Revise the Charitable Organization and Solicitations
Act (1975), Simplify the State Grant and Contracting Process and Promoting
Capacity Building for the Nonprofit Sector. Work has began on these topics and
a tentative meeting with Attorney General M. Cox, is scheduled. The "Issues fu
Brief' sessions will restart in February.
E. Skene thanked G. Stevens for all of his years of guidance, assistance and
wealth of knowledge that guided the Public Policy Committee.

11.

Russell G. Mawby Fund and George W. Romney Fund Transfer
R. Collier noted that the MNA Executive Committee has reviewed and discussed
this issue during their conference call last week and moved to recommend that the
MNA Board of Trustees donate the control of the George W. Romney for
4

�Volunteerism in Michigan and the Russell G. Mawby Fund for Youth Service and
Volunteerism to the ConnectMichigan Alliance. The MNA Executive Committee
also added *three caveats that would position the Michigan Nonprofit Association
with this donation. The first caveat is that if the ConnectMichigan Alliance
ceases to exist both funds would revert back to the ownership to the Michigan
Nonprofit Association. The second caveat is that as both of the funds are utilized
that the Michigan Nonprofit Association be recognized as a contributor. The third
caveat is it is understood that both funds will remain under their current names
and the documents that outline their use will be fully honored. Rob Collier further
noted that with six months left to complete the campaign, ConnectMichigan
Alliance would have approximately $650,000 to raise giving the campaign the
opportunity to come to a successful close.

A. Rosewarne stated that this gift would be most generous and would be in
keeping with the philosophy of MNA' s mission and focus. This is the logical step
to take to complete the CMA Campaign.
S. Singh gave a brief history of the two funds and said that the transfer of the
funds to CMA would create new programs through them. S. Singh said he feels it
is the right and ethical move to make.
A motion was made by R Collier that the George W. Romney Fund for
Volunteerism in Michigan and the Russell G. Mawby Fund for Youth Service and
Volunteerism with the insertion of the three caveats (see* above) be transferred
to the ConnectMichigan Alliance Campaign. The motion was seconded by J.
King. Motion approved. (E. Blews, C. Bloodworth, A. Rosewarne and J. Lore
abstained from voting, stating a conflict of interest- due to their involvement
with the Board of ConnectMichigan Alliance).
12.

ConnectMichigan Alliance Reoort
E. Blews noted that the ConnectMichigan Alliance held their Board meeting
December 5, 2002 and the focus was on the endowment campaign and the various
volunteerism programs and initiatives that are truly a part of CMA. He also stated
that as Chair of ConnectMichigan Alliance the vision and concept to move the
above funds began with S. Singh who brought the idea to the Executive
Committee. He expressed on behalf of the CMA Board of Trustees their deepest
gratitude.

J. Lore noted that this gift of $1.3 million to CMA brings substantial excitement
to the Campaign. He reviewed the progress on the ConnectMichigan Alliance
5

�Campaign Gift Snapshot Report dated 12/16/02 which shows a total of
$18,060,460 to date. Most recently, The Kalamazoo Foundation gave $25,000 to
the Campaign which opens the door to other foundations in that area. J. Lore
reported that the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund pledged $250,000, which
was a match of the General Motors Corporation's gift of$250,000. Once again,
he thanked the MNA Board of Trustees for their generous gift.
G. Stevens noted that as the ConnectMichigan Campaign draws to an end, this
would be a good time to thank the key people who have been critical to the
Campaign, such as, First Lady M. Engler, Governor J. Engler, Senator H. Gast,
and Senator D. DeGrow, to name a few of the people who are so significant to the
Campaign's success. G. Stevens said that perhaps crafting a status report would
be a terrific reinforcement and also a way of saying thanks for this unusual
contribution.
E. Blews said that appropriate steps will be taken to communicate thanks. He also
noted the leadership that MNA has taken at the end of the Endowment
Fundraising just as it did at the beginning.
13. Other
E. Blews opened the floor for a general discussion.
B. Liebold acknowledged the great job J. Lore and the CMA Campaign
Committee are doing during this difficult time for fund raising.

K. Willis suggested that the Nominating Committee consider one of the new
Emerging Leader graduates for a position on the Board of Trustees.
A. Rosewarne noted that the MNA Board of Trustees were always seated
alphabetically- this is the time when Governor Romney was on the MNA Board
of Trustees. A. Rosewarne said that he always asked her, "What did you do good
yesterday"? She said that Governor Romney would be proud of what the MNA
Board, with the transfer of funds, has done today.

R. Collier said that the Giving and Volunteering Survey that M. Wilson is
conducting is nearly completed. E. Skene said the survey is a partnership with the
Council of Michigan Foundation, Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan
Community Service Commission and ConnectMichigan Alliance. M. Wilson said
that one thing that can be reported to the media thus far is that individual giving is
6

�holding on. S. Singh noted that corporate and foundation funding is down. The
results of the survey will be presented in a publication this spring.
R. Collier reported that in the last 2 Y:z years 300 new charitable foundations have
been created in Michigan.
E. Rogers reported that foundations are looking for fiscal reporting. She noted
that possibly MNA could develop a letter that encourages nonprofits in Michigan
to be good stewards of their funds.

0. Cash said that in times of economic growth and surplus it is easier to stay true
to your mission. It is most difficult to do this when there are little resources.
MNA did a good job in staying true to their mission and values. It is important
that we have evidence that nonprofits in the state are staying true to their mission.
E. Blews thanked everyone for their input. He said that at the next MNA Board of
Trustees meeting he will ask everyone to share what is the greatest satisfaction or
joy in what you do.
14.

Presentation to Glenn Stevens
E. Blews recognized G. Stevens, who has been a part of the Michigan Nonprofit
Association family from the beginning, as a founding trustee of the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum. E. Blews thanked G. Stevens for his commitment and the
tremendous contributions he has made to the cause ofnonprofits. G. Stevens was
presented with a small token of the MNA Board of Trustees' and staffs'
appreciation.
G. Stevens discussed his experience on the Michigan Nonprofit Association
Board of Trustees and how important the issues are and how large this
organization has become. He thanked the Board again.

15.

Adjournment
A motion was made to adjourn the Board of Trustees meeting by G. Stevens and
seconded by D. Algra. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 11:44 a.m.

Public Policy Committee
Meeting
February 27, 2003
Conference Call

Motions Approved and Referred to the l'vlNA Board of Trustees
The l'vlNA Public Policy Committee recommends that the l'vlNA Board of Trustees
approve the following position statement regarding revenue restoration:
The Michigan Nonprofit Association supports state and federal revenue
restoration that would prevent spending reductions in the areas of arts, k- 12
education, higher education, environment and natural resources, and health and
human services.
Additional information regarding the rationale for this position statement is enclosed in
this Board packet.
Updates

The committee briefly received an update on the latest State and Federal Legislation that
had been supported by MNA last legislative session and reintroduced this year. The
committee also discussed l'vlNA's plans for implementing the Michigan Nonprofit
Agenda- Recommendations for State Policymakers, which includes surveying and l'vlNA
membership regarding their experiences with the state grant and contracting process. In
addition, the committee agreed that staff should research the issue of casino bingo
regulations and the differences between non-profit and for-profit regulation on this issue.

�Michigan Non profit Association
Revenue Restoration
The state of Michigan is currently facing its worst fiscal crisis since WWII. In January
the state's Revenue Estimating Committee determined that the current year's budget was
short $300 million ($158 million deficit in the General Fund and $134 million in the
School Aid Fund). Governor Granholm has announced reductions of3.8 percent in
discretionary and supplemental funds to schools to correct the $134 million deficit in the
School Aid Fund. On February 19, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees
approved the $158 million Executive Order to close the current state deficit. Actions of
the Executive Order include:
•

Expenditure Reductions (84%):
State Agency Reductions - $7 6.2 million
Higher Education- $30.3 million
Grants- $10.4 million
Life Sciences- $12.5 million
Legislative Reductions - $2.1 million
Judiciary Reductions - $1.1 million

•

Medicaid Financing (9%):
Physician Special Adjuster Payment- $4.9 million
Hospital Assessment - $8.9 million

•

Bond for Final Midfield Terminal Payment (7%):
Comprehensive Transportation Fund Bonds- $12 million

In addition to this year's cuts, the Revenue Estimating Committee also projected that the
state would have a $1.6 billion shortfall ($1.2 billion in the General Fund and $364
million in the School Aid Fund) next year. The Executive Order for the 04 budget will be
presented to a joint session of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on
March6.
These cuts are extremely disturbing considering that state spending on arts and
entertainment, k-12 education, higher education, environment and natural resources, and
health and human services are already at a bare minimum. Additional funding cuts to
these programs and services would devastate the quality oflife here in Michigan. In
addition to direct assistance from the government for individuals and municipalities, the

�state also makes grants and contracts to and with nonprofit organizations to provide the
services.
These programs are often ones that the government can not provide or do not have the
ability to provide. Not only would additional cuts harm the individuals and municipalities
that rely on direct state funding, but it would also hinder if not prevent the nonprofit
community from carrying out its charitable missions of providing the services and
protecting the resources that the state often leaves to the responsibility of this sector. In
addition, with the current status ofthe economy foundation and individual giving is down
which does not leave the nonprofit sector with sources to replace existing funding or to
find funding to provide the critical services to Michigan residents that could be cut to fill
the deficit.
In recent years reductions to the state budget have been significant, however, these cuts
have mainly been temporary solutions. With no extra money in the budget, more
permanent solutions to the state's economic crisis most be explored. A strategy for
solving the state's fiscal problems is to address the lack of revenue by exploring revenue
restorations, including suspending the scheduled reduction of the income tax rate which
could save the state $118 million.

To address this issue MNA would like to have a position statement encouraging revenue
restoration. The following is the proposed statement:
The Michigan Nonprofit Association supports state and federal revenue
restoration that would prevent spending reductions in the areas of arts, k-12
education, higher education, environment and natural resources, and health and
human services.
The above stance will allow MNA the flexibility to join other organizations across the
state in looking for permanent solutions to the state's budget crisis.

Narrative Update
2001-2002

The mission of the CotmectMichigan 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 CmmectMichigan
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 tnission 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 in1plications 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 tnission, as well as the mission of
CMA, which focuses on "the civic purpose of higher education." Through tins initiative, Miclngan 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 Connnission, 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 leaming from the programs and events. Attendance rises every year.
Two keynote speakers, Dr. Barbara Holland and Dr. Jinl Kilsmeier, kept the group challenged and engaged.
MCC offers a Service Leaming Camp at the heginning of the academic calendar, for all students, and Service
Advisors, of the MCC member campuses. On September 27-29, 2002, Miclngan Campus Compact {MCC) held
their ammal Service Leadership Camp at Camp Matntou-Lin in Middleville, MI. This camp allowed 112 college
students and advisors from 18 member campuses to come together to participate in plamnng and learning about
community service, service-learning and civic engagement as a part of fueir education, and how they can take their
experiences back to their campus and put them into action.
Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) ammally hosts the 2Y,-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 plamllng, organizational development, and more;
Explores important components of service/service-learning, civic responsibility and leadership through interactive

workshop sessions.
Highlights of tins year's Service Leadership Camp included keynote presentations from Daniel Caron on "Original

�Play" and Johnnie Tuite! 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 Fzmdraising 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 conjwtction 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. Tllis award will highlight the importance of long lasting, dynanlic 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 nlission 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 CMA, VCM has been able to
provide their 34 member Volunteer Centers with support that is uwnatched in the state.
VCM has been instrumental in providing advocacy training and guidance to their membersllip. 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
membersllip to be of highest priority for public education and advocacy efforts. These opportutlities allowed VCM
to construct legislative priorities as follows:
I. Support, protect and expand Miclligan's Volunteer Investment Grants.
2. Advocate federal reauthorization process wtder Citizen Service Act of2002- 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 l!!l_501(c) (3)'s.
Additionally, VCM is sponsoring a statewide program involving all member Volunteer Centers (34) in recognizing
lligh school graduates who volunteer a significant number of cotwnunity 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 recogtlized community needs, mtder
the auspices of a nonprofit organization, goverwnent programs, community group or school. The following types of
activities would quality, 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 cownlittee work
for a nonprofit
• Civic Engagement, advocacy or community organizing, such as beautification, mural painting,
cotwnunity surveys
Students will periodically complete an evaluation form and reflective sunmtary 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 Vohmteer Centers from Michigan's upper petlinsula, and northem, nlid- and
southemlower peninsula. These Centers each will work with at least one high school during the pilot year.
Long-tetm 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 detennine 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 con111lunities 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
aruma! training event.
The VCM Director and Nonie Bretman (VCNNC Board and CMA Board) presented at the Northem Ohio Regional
Conference on Volmtteering.
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 Weighill's (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 ofservice. CMA has hired a program coordinator who currently leads the Michigan's
Pr01nise/America's Promise statewide effort. Since this program was transferred to CMA from the Michigan
Community Service Commission in the Fall of2002, there has been much contact with the 26 Communities of
Promise (COPs). Site visits are platmed for all26 by the Spring of2003. 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 ofvolunteerism and
engagement. Specifically, the stakeholders of the Michigan Civics Summit have convened in a meeting sponsored
by the CotmectMichigan Alliance, determined 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 C01mectMichigan 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.

meeting as presented and seconded by J. Moore. Motion can·ied.

field and noted that the Nominating Committee had targeted the environment
category after reviewing the demographic information presented during the
nominating process. Sr. Kostielney reviewed information received from the Michigan
Environmental Council. A discussion followed and it was recommended that Tom
Bailey, Executive Director of the Little Traverse Conservancy, a program dedicated
to the preservation of land and environmental education, be contacted about potential
Board membership before the June 24 Board of TtUstees meeting. R. Collier will
provide Sr. Kostielney with the contact information.
4. MNA Detroit Office
D. Swenson distributed a proposal summary for the Michigan Nonprofit Association
Metropolitan Detroit Office, which is a goal identified in the MNA Strategic Plan. S.
Singh noted that over 40% ofMNA membership is located in the Detroit area. D.
Swenson said that there are over 13,000 nonprofits in the Detroit area. The proposed
three-year pilot program budget will suppott the staffing and establishment of a

�metropolitan Detroit MNA office. Matching funds requested from the HudsonWebber Foundation will be requested from Detroit area foundations, including the
Kresge Foundation. Additional revenue for site activities will be provided through
fees paid by organizations participating in training and technical assistance activities.
MNA hopes to gather the interest of other nonprofits, to get them involved and
potentially join MNA membership. A metropolitan Detroit MNA site office advisory
committee will be established to assist in focusing the membership, training and
technical assistance activities to be provided from this site. The Advisory Committee
will consist of 15 representatives from southeast Michigan nonprofit organizations. S.
Singh noted that MNA will probably need to be co-located with an existing
organization in Detroit. MNA will not statt this project until seed funding is secured.
D. Swenson also noted that he and E. Skene are working with The Joyce Foundation
to develop regional policy councils in Calhoun, Genesee and hopefully, in the Detroit
area as well.
5. Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute
S. Singh said that MNA has been focused on the leadership program and which has
been the most planned program MNA has undettaken. He distributed a copy of the
Business Plan for the Executive Committee to pass around and review.
The Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute has four areas:
1. Emerging Leaders ·
2. Emerging Nonprofit Executives
3. Seasoned Executives
4. Building the Capacity of Organizations
a.
Board Training
b.
F inancials
c.
Liabilities
d.
Best Practices
A request has been made to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation for $1 million to fund the
Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute.
M. Corbin noted that R. L. Schultheiss has been the leader in constmcting the
Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute. He reported that Emerging Leaders are
holding its second class with 19 participants who are very eager and very talented.
Mentoring is a huge part of the program. The first year of the program was selffunded by MNA and the second year is being funded by the DTE Energy Foundation.
S. Singh thanked all of the MNA Board ofTmstees who had agreed to be mentors.

�A question was raised if the Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute could become a
certificate program? At this time, MNA has not received a fotmal endorsement from
a university.
C. Bloodworth said that organizations and Boards need to understand the importance
of professional development for staff. M. Corbin stated that each Institute participant
must be sponsored by their organization. The individual can pay for their own
training, but they must have the commitment from the organization they work for to
attend the two-day sessions and other activities, such as Nonprofit Day and
Grantmakers-Grantseekers.
·

6. MNA Budget FY 2003-2004
S. Singh said the budget being distributed today will not be the final budget, but is a
draft that the Executive Committee can review. The Finance Committee will review
the budget next week. S. Singh said it will be a challenging year. GrantmakersGrantseekers 2003 was a successful conference but sponsorship came in at $20,000
less than the year before. Due to the economy, MNA's long term sponsors didn't
have the money to give or they scaled back on giving. There is a potential that this
will put MNA at a small deficit at the end of the year. All end of the year expenses
are being reviewed. It has been a very difficult year for MNA.
P. Casale distributed a copy of the proposed Revenue/Expense Summary for the
2003-2004 MNA Budget. She reviewed each revenue line item noting that the
. General Contributions line item last year had been moved to the Grants and Contracts
area. This year, Strategic Fund contributions from individuals will be recorded under
General Contributions. A question was raised as to whether membership dues should
be increased. S. Singh said that he will ask the Membership Committee to review this
area. P. Casale noted that Miscellaneous Income has been eliminated as this
information will be recorded in specific areas.
· P. Casale next reviewed each expense item. She noted that that one Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) had been built into Salaries for a MPPI Assistant Director and that
other staff changes are reflected under contracted services. The Printing/Publishing
line item had significantly increased as MNA distributes more infmmation to MNA
members.
The Finance Committee will bring a finalized budget to the Board of Ttustees
meeting June 24.

and federal revenue bases to mitigate hannful budget reductions in the
areas of arts; k-12 education; higher education; environment and natural
resources; and health and human services, and support reasonable growth
over time.
A motion to accept the above language was made by D. Mikula and
seconded by M. Flanagan. Motion canied.
R. Collier further noted that the Position Statement recommends that if

complete MNLI package has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation. A favorable response is
eagerly anticipated.

Recent consultations by MNA staff have included a workshop in building program sustainability
for teen programs supported by the Michigan Department of Community Health and strategic
planning for the Nonprofit Alliance in Battle Creek.
Greater Lansing Area MSO
MNA has begun exploration of the possibility of establishing a formal management support
organization serving the greater Lansing area. MNA has provided some MSO functions to the
region through the Local Learning series of trainings and other services. This more established
approach is being examined in response to needs stated often by local nonprofit organizations.
The assessment of need and what programming would be appropriate will focus on local needs and
include the involvement of key Lansing area organizations. The Jackson Nonprofit Support Center
is supportive of this initiative and the Michigan MSO Network has been advised ofMNA's plans.

                    <text>Michigan Nonprofit Survey of State Grant and Contract Process

Prepared by the Michigan Nonprofit Association

�OVERVIEW OF THE SURVEY

Michigan's nonprofit community has always worked hand-in-hand with our State government to
provide many of the needed social services. From homeless shelters, to protecting our great
lakes, to neighborhood improvement and supporting the arts, nonprofits provide valuable
services that would be otherwise unavailable to our citizens.
In addition to foundation, corporate, and individual support, Michigan's grant and contract
making process makes it possible for nonprofits to fulfill the services required by the people of
Michigan. By outsourcing to the nonprofit community, the State is able to provide these services
by experienced personnel at the local level, and the nonprofits are able to provide services that
would otherwise be unavailable. This makes the grant and contract making process a vital
component in many of the services that Michigan's citizens utilize on a daily basis.
In these difficult economic times it is more important than ever for nonprofits and government to
work together. The Michigan Nonprofit Association recently sent a survey out to its 700+
members across the State to gauge how well they perceive the grant and contract making process
to be working. This survey was designed not only as a measure of the current state of the
process, but as a tool for both government and the nonprofits to use when looking for ways to
improve the system.
The survey asked respondents to answer questions regarding the type of organization they
represented, where they were located, their size, funding situation, and whether they currently
had a grant or contract with a state agency. If the respondent's organization did have a grant or
contract from the State, they were then asked a variety of questions about that grant or contract.
If the respondent did not currently have a grant, then they were asked questions related to why
they did not. Finally, all respondents were given a chance to comment on the grant and contract
making process in general.
The survey was completed and returned by 218 respondents, representing a diverse segment of
the nonprofit community. Respondents came from organizations involved in education, human
services, health, community improvement, arts, and many other areas of focus located
throughout the state of Michigan.
In addition, the Michigan Nonprofit Association held focus groups with leaders from the
nonprofit community to further identify problem areas with the grant and contract making ·
process. These focus groups provided anecdotal information to complement the statistical data
taken from the survey.

a

Sixty-four percent of nonprofits responded that they currently had grant or contract with the
State, while 36% responded that they did not. This shows that a significant portion of the
nonprofit sector is currently relying on the State's grant and contracting program for at least a
portion of their funding.

�KEY FINDINGS
•

Few non profits are finding
information regarding available
grants through state agency
announcements.

There is a consensus among nonprofit
grantseekers that information regarding
available grants and contracts from state
agencies can be difficult to find. The
majority of nonprofits that have grants or
contracts with the state find out about them
through previous experience with that
particular agency, or through contacts they
have with the agency.

This creates a system in which large, established nonprofits have a clear advantage in securing
state grants. Smaller nonprofits may not have contacts within an agency from which they can
receive grant information from, thus keeping them out of the state grant and contracting process.

Michigan who have not applied to receive funding from the
state have not done so because they simply do not know where to find the necessary information.

•

The turnaround time from when a grant or contract is awarded until money is
received can be excessive.
Time From Contract Awarded Until Finalized

Nonprofits report that once they receive notification of
being awarded a state grant or contract, they are given little
or no information about when the deal will be finalized and
payment will begirt This can create a difficult situation for
nonprofits when developing programs based on the expected
money coming in from the state. The turnaround time
ranged from 3 weeks to 8 months.
Without knowledge of when to expect money from the state,
nonprofits often have to begin a project without that funding.
This creates a further financial burden by requiring them to tap
into otherwise allocated resources in order to fund the project
until state money begins coming in.

The reporting requirements can also be unclear. There is often ambiguity over how
reimbursement for services will be handled in the reports, which can lead to nonprofits being
denied payment because the service was not done in the manner in which the agency requires.

The application and administration of a grant ot'
contract varies a great deal between state
departments, making it difficult to understand the
requirements.

There is a clear lack of uniformity between state agencies
when it comes to their grant and contracting processes. Each
agency has their own procedures and requirements in both
the application and administration process. This makes it
difficult to understand what the requirements are for an
agency, especially for nonprofits that have grants and
contracts with multiple agencies.

"All agencies and departments
should be consistent In all aspects
of managing the grant/contract
process. Consistent tlmeframes for
completion and awarding of grants
between agencies should be
developed. we apply for funding
through several agencies, and It Is
difficult to understand the different
requirements each one has. tr

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the responses from this survey, as well as previous discussions with leaders in the
notiprofit community, the Michigan Nonprofit Association has developed a series of policy
recommendations to State policymakers aimed at improving the State grant and contracting
process:

•

•

•

•

•

Analyze Current Contracting and Granting Procedures- Convene a meeting of State
department delegates, nonprofit representatives and business leaders to commission a
study of the State's overall granting and contracting process.
Adjust Payment Reimbursement Procedures- Review payment procedures in all
departments to determine where delays occur and what changes can be made to avoid
delay in payment. Also, develop special mles for small nonprofits that allow payments to
an account that can be drawn upon to pay for expenses the group cannot afford to
advance.
Initiate Outreach to Make Non profits Mm·e Aware of State Grant ProgramsAgencies need to conduct outreach programs to make more nonprofits aware of State
grant opportunities. An excellent location to post all grant opportunities is on the State's
homepage (WW.lY.. .tTii~&lt;h..igi:\n_.gQy) as well as the Michigan Nonprofit Association's E-mail
Funding Opportunities Bulletin (www.mnaonline.org).
Expand Technical Assistance on Grant Application Process- All State agencies need
to provide training and technical assistance for nonprofits that wish to apply for State
grants.
Simplify and Unify Nonprofit Financial Reporting Requirements- The State needs
to stop redundant and burdensome reporting requirements. Each department needs to
consistently provide educational information to assist nonprofits with repotting, and
should streamline reporting requirements to ensure coordination with federal and local
requirements.

Nonprofit Advisory Committee to Michigan Attorney General
Committee Description and Priorities
Objective
To advise the Attorney General on issues related to charities and charitable giving in
Michigan, the Michigan Nonprofit Association proposes that the Nonprofit Advisory
Committee focus on the following objectives:

1. Provide feedback, as needed, on existing and emerging regulations affecting the
nonprofit sector.
The purpose of this objective is to periodically review the existing state legislation and
regulations governing the charitable community and to provide suggestions for
maintaining cohesion between the law and the changing nonprofit/fundraising
environment. The input and feedback of the sector through the Nonprofit Advisory
Committee will inform revision and implementation of these laws and practices.
Priorities in this area may include:
• Periodic review and suggestions for revision of relevant regulations,
• Providing input and feedback to proposed changes in charitable legislation
emanating from the legislature, Attorney General or other source, and
• Exploring opportunities to educate and work with the legislature regarding the
regulation of charities.
2. Assist the Attorney General with educating donors and citizens about charities
and charitable giving.
The Charitable Trust Section of the Attorney General's office is an important source of
information about and for the sector. This objective will help inform the Attorney
General on how to maximize the information, tools and leadership available to educate
donors and citizens about charities and charitable giving. Changes in the fundraising
environment, including on-line giving and recent scandals regarding the accountability of
charities, have made it imperative that the public make educated choices for donations.
Priorities in this area may include:
• Providing feedback and recommendations on current public education efforts,

mid

�•

Identifying oppotiunities and strategies for the Attomey General to educate
donors/citizens about the state's nonprofits, including the importance of
giving and how donors can give wisely.

3. Enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of collecting data about charities and
fundraisers.
Although over 3,000 charities are registered with the Charitable Ttust Section, there are
still a number of charities and fundraisers that are not aware of the registration and
disclosure requirements of the state. For the purpose of accountability of organization
practices and an accounting of the scope of the sector, it is important that all required
charities register and understand the disclosure requirements. Some key priorities in this
area may include:
• Exploring and implementing methods to inform nonprofits and fundraisers
about registration/disclosure requirements,
• Reviewing the type of data collected and its uses, suggest potential
audiences for this information, and explore how technology can facilitate the
collection process, and
• Evaluate models and experiences from other states, regarding their
collection of data.
Composition of Committee
MNA proposes that the full Committee meet twice a year and be chaired by the Attomey
General or senior staff member. As discussed previously, the Michigan Nonprofit
Association is willing to coordinate and manage the committee. MNA also proposes to
assign committee members to work groups organized around the objectives outlined
above. These committees would also meet twice during the year and would be staffed by
MNA. To reflect the geographic and mission diversity of the sector, the following is a list
of potential "types" of groups that may be asked to serve:
•
•
•

Statewide nonprofit organizations representing the arts, education, human
services, foundations and nonprofits.
Local nonprofit organizations representing the health and human services, the
atis, the environment and the foundation community.
Professionals working with nonprofits including accountants, lawyers and
professional fundraisers.

Timeline
MNA proposes that committee members be recruited over the summer, and that the
launching of the committee be announced in the fall in conjunction with the first meeting.
At the first meeting, committee members would determine dates for future full committee
meetings as well as sub-committee meetings.

Position Statement on Budget
The current and next year's budgets face significant gaps between projected state
revenues and expected levels of spending. Cuts in spending have already been approved
and future cuts are anticipated. These reductions are extremely disturbing considering
that state spending on arts, k-12 education, higher education, environment and natural
resources, and health and human services are already at a bare minimum. Additional
funding cuts to these programs and services will devastate the quality of life here in
Michigan.
These programs are often ones that the government can not or does not have the ability to
provide alone. In addition to suppott for individuals and municipalities, the state makes
grants to and contracts with nonprofit organizations to provide needed services for
Michigan families. Not only will additional cuts harm the individuals and municipalities
that rely on direct state funding, but it will also hinder if not prevent the nonprofit
community from carrying out its charitable mission. Worsening the situation are
decreasing levels of foundation and individual giving, which leave organizations with
few or no resources to replace funding from the state or to support the services that
government may choose to no longer provide.
In addition to a weak economy, decreases in state revenue have made it increasingly
difficult to support the current quality of life that Michigan residents expect.
Unfortunately recent solutions to the state budget crisis have only been temporary, and
most expetts agree that more permanent solutions must be found. A permanent solution is
to address the lack of revenue by urging policymakers to adopt a sufficient tax base to
support Michigan residents.
The following is a proposed statement on this issue, which was drafted by the MNA
Public Policy Committee and a group of select MNA members representing the subsectors mentioned below:
The Michigan Nonprofit Association urges achievement of sufficient state
and federal revenue bases to mitigate harmful budget reductions in the areas
of arts; k-12 education; higher education; environment and natural
resources; and health and human services, and support reasonable growth
over time.

�If the MNA Executive Committee suppmts this statement, it is proposed that the next
step include the full board's review of the following possible solutions to the budget
stmctural problems. Although additional solutions will be proposed by lawmakers,
support of the following will shape and guide the work of the Association as it works
with coalitions on this matter. Before the board takes specific positions on budget
solutions, staff proposes that an expert on these topics such as Tom Clay with Citizens
Research Council of Michigan be invited to the next board meeting to review the pros
and cons of these suggestions:
1. Decouple from the federal estate tax- this proposal would include joining 17
other states by passing legislation to allow the state to continue collecting estate
tax despite action on the federal level. It is estimated that between fiscal years
2003 and 2007, Michigan would retain $565 million by decoupling.
2. Retain the Single Business Tax or replace it with a tax of similar capacity- the
Single Business Tax currently provides '14 of the General Fund revenues, and prior
to its phase-out constituted a larger share.
3. Adjust alcohol taxes for inflation- the beer tax has not been adjusted for inflation
since 1966 and the wine tax has not been adjusted since 1981. It is estimated that
if both the beer and wine taxes were doubled, to reflect inflation and recoup from
inflationary loss, $51 million would be generated.
4. Postpone the scheduled reduction in the income tax rate- if the rate reduction
from 4 percent to 3.9 percent did not occur in January 2004, the state would retain
$118 million.
5. Modernize the Michigan sales tax stmcture to reflect changes in technology and
the change from a manufacturing to a service economy- as the technological and
service sector continues to grow the state looses revenue because its sales tax
stmcture does not reflect the changing environment. The loss of revenue from
consumer remote sales is estimated to be $349 million by fiscal year 2005, and
the estimated loss of revenue from exemption of services was 4.6 billion in fiscal
year 2001.
The above suggestions will not completely solve the state's crisis, however, for MNA to
advocate for a sufficient tax base the Association must have suggestions to begin doing
so. MNA also recognizes that this policy issue is an uphill battle, and to be successful it
must include suppoti from leadership of business and government. The Association is
currently working with other organizations to begin engaging these individuals and to
educate the general public on the current budget crisis and expected future problems.

PUBLIC POLICY ALERT
June 2003
AMERICORPS
Background As you probably already know the AmeriCorps program is facing a funding crisis that
could significantly impact the levels and quality of service nonprofits provide across the
country. Due to accounting errors within the Corporation for National and Community
Service, states across the country were notified last week that the existing 900
AmeriCorps programs would be drastically cut (50% to 90% depending on the state).
Last week Congress took its first steps to solve this situation by passing S.l276. This
legislation sets forth how the CNCS will account for the members it enrolls (patt of the
reason the Corporation needs to cut funding is because of miscalculations of members).
However, even with the accountability measures, it is still necessary that a $200
supplemental appropriation be made to the Education Award Trust to make the Trust
solvent with a balance to support 75,000 members (next year's recruitment goal) and to
reinstitute AmeriCorps funding to 2002 levels. As nonprofits face difficult times, the loss
of these volunteers and programs will decrease services provided across the country.
The following is more information on S. 1276:
What it does:
S.l276 sets the standard accounting fmmula for the Educational Award Trust. The
Bond-Mikulski bill, called the 'Strengthen AmeriCorps Program Act of2003,' will allow
CNCS to enroll up to 50,000 AmeriCorps members in 2003. The major provisions of the
legislation include:
• Allows CNCS to fund AmeriCorps education awards based on Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) formulas by counting awards eamed and used
by AmeriCorps volunteers.
• Establishes a central reserve fund to protect the CNCS against over-enrollment of
AmeriCorps members.
• Requires the Chief Executive Officer to certifY that the National Service Trust
fund contains adequate funds to meet education award liabilities.
• Requires an independent audit of the Corporation's funding formula.

VOLUNTEER INVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM

Background The VIG program, which assists communities in solving pressing social problems by
supporting the needed volunteer infrastructure is essential to meeting the needs of
Michigan communities. However, the funding for this program has been cut by 22% over
the past few years. This is particularly disturbing in light of these difficult economic
times and decreased giving and volunteering by Michigan residents. According to a
recent study, Michigan residents decreased their levels of volunteering by 16% from
2001, which means only about 30% ofMichiganians volunteered last year. In addition,
giving was down last year, from 89.1% in 2001 to 80.1% in 2002.
Not only does the VIG program strengthen nonprofit organizations and their ability to
serve those in need, but it also contributes to the local economy. Specifically:
•

To date, communities have leveraged $5.8 million locally to match the $4.8
million of state funds.

•

Volunteer Investment Grants have supp01ied 34 volunteer resource centers
throughout Michigan. These 34 centers serve 38 of Michigan's 83 countiesreaching 53% of Michigan's population. All told, 97 Volunteer Investment
Grants have been awarded to local volunteer resource centers.

•

In 2003, a total of $780,095 was awarded to 17 volunteer resource centers.
These grants range in size from $24,200 to $100,000. Local communities will
leverage at least $780,095 in local funds for VIG in 2003.

The annual fund is a granting program of the Michigan Community Service Commission,
with grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. Each grant has to be matched by the local
community, with the local match being placed into an endowment for community-based
volunteer initiatives. The State VIG grant can be used by the organization to enhance
their capacity through program development, technology enhancements or technical.

�federal and state revenues that are used to provide community services, such as quality
schools, staffed and equipped hospitals and police and fire deparhnents, good roads,
clean air and water, parks, and libraries. Although the nonprofit sector remains a strong
partner with government, it can not fulfill these needs without federal and state support.
Since Michigan has only a "pickup" estate tax, that is, it has an estate tax that is set equal
to the amount of the federal credit, it has been estimated that Michigan could loose up to
$565 million in revenue between Fiscal Years 2003 and 2007 if the federal estate tax is
eliminated.

What MNA is doingMNA previously sent letters to Congress urging that they consider the consequences of
permanent repeal of the estate tax on charities. MNA will send Senators Levin and
Stabenow letters reminding them of the impact of permanent repeal.
CHARITABLE GIVING ACT 2003

Background On April 9, the Senate passed the CARE Act of2003 by a vote of95-5. All eyes are now
on the House of Representatives to see whether it can pass a charitable giving bill and if
so, what it will contain.
Representatives Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN) recently introduced the
latest charitable giving bill in the House of Representatives--the Charitable Giving Act of
2003, H.R.7. The charitable giving provisions of the bills are similar. However, there is
one major difference-the House bill prohibits private foundations from counting
administrative expenses as distributions. Thus, private foundations would no longer be
able to include administrative expenses in detetmining their payout. Specific provisions
of the Act include:

./
./
./
./
./
./
./
./

Non-itemizer deduction-- up to $250 ($500 for joint filers) for cash contributions
in excess of $250 ($500 for joint filers)
Tax-free distributions from IRAs for charitable purposes at age 70 Y,
Increase in cap on corporate charitable contributions
Enhanced charitable deduction for contributions offood inventory
Reduction of tax on net investment income of private foundations to 1 percent
Prohibition on private foundations from including administrative expenses in
determining their payout rate
Imposition of an excise tax on the unrelated business taxable income of a
charitable remainder annuity hust or a charitable remainder unitrust
Expansion of charitable contribution allowed for scientific propetiy used for
research and for computer technology and equipment used for educational
purposes
Adjustment to basis of S corporation stock for certain charitable contributions

Audit Committee
Motion for Approval by the MNA Board of Trustees

1.) A motion to approve the engagement of services provided to Michigan
Nonprofit Association to be conducted by David J. Ambrose, CPA for the
year ended June 30, 2003.

MICHIGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION
1048 Pierpont Dr, Ste 3
Lansing, Ml 48911
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for Michigan
Nonprofit Association for the year ended June 30, 2003. We will audit the statement of financial
position of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of June 30, 2003, and the related statements of
· activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended.
The objective of our audit is the expression of an opinion about whether your financial statements
are fairly presented, In all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Our audit will be conducted In accordance with U.S. generally accepted
auditing standards and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we
consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion. If our opinion Is other than
unqualified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to
complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to
express an opinion or to issue a report as a result of this engagement.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded
in the accounts, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by
correspondence with selected funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We may also
request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement. At the conclusion
of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial
statements and related matters.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of
transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. Also, we will plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether from errors, fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets, or
violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the Organization or to acts
by management or employees acting on behalf of the Organization. Because an audit Is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not perform a
detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and
not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or
violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the
financial statements. However, we will inform you of any material errors and any fraudulent
financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also Inform
you of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless
clearly Inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit
and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors;
.
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of Internal control sufficient to plan the audit and
to determine the nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures to be performed. An audit Is not
designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify reportable conditions, that Is,
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of Internal control. However, during the audit, if
we become aware of such reportable conditions, we will communicate them to you.

�You are responsible for making all financial records and related Information available to us and
for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate
accounting principles and their application and will assist in the preparation of your financial
statements, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with you. This
responsibility includes the establishment and maintenance of adequate records and effective
internal controls over financial reporting, the selection and application of accounting principles,
and the safeguarding of assets. You are responsible for adjusting the financial statements to
correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the management representation letter
that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the .current
engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both Individually and in
the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. You are responsible for the design
and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us
about all known or suspected fraud affecting the organization Involving (1) management, (2)
employees who have significant roles in internal control, and {3) others where the fraud could
have a material effect on the financial statements. You are also responsible for informing us of
your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Organization received
in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In
addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring the Organization complies with
applicable laws and regulations.
We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, grant receivable, and other
confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing.
As part of our engagement, we will also prepare the federal form 990 "Return of Organization
Exempt from Income Tax" for the year ended June 30, 2003.
We estimate that our fees for these services will not exceed $5,500 for the audit and $500 for the
information return. The fee estimate is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel
and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If
significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee
estimate before we Incur the additional costs. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each
month as work progresses and are payable on presentation.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately
summarizes the significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us
know. If you agree with the terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the
enclosed copy and return It to us.

No Board Action Required

Volunteerism SuperConference 2004
The planning committee for Volunteerism SuperConference 2004 held its first meeting September
15. The committee is chaired by Chris Nelson, President of the Michigan Association of United
Ways and MNA Tmstee. The committee represents a broad cross-section of organizations focused
on volunteerism in Michigan and expects to plan an outstanding experience May 24 and 25 in
Grand Rapids. Please mark your calendars now for this impmiant MNA service.
Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute
The initial proposal for one foundation to fund the Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute was
not accepted. New strategies are being developed to secure funding for components of the
institute.
The second class of Emerging Leaders will participate in Nonprofit Day. They will graduate
September 23 at the Holiday Inn South in Lansing. You are encouraged to join the Emerging
Leaders and their mentors for the noon to 2:00 celebration luncheon and certificate presentation,
which will be followed by a one and one-half hour discussion of the future of the nonprofit sector.
Please let Mike Corbin know if you are able to participate. The third class of Emerging Leaders
has been selected and will begin meeting October 23.

wide variety of organizations. Spending Your Technology Dollars Effectively (presented by
NPower Michigan); and Successful Grant Writing: Where Do I Go, What Do I Say When I Get
There? are fmihcoming. MNA will also offer a fall workshop on Personal Financial Planning for
Nonprofit Executives, in cooperation with Mutual of America, on September 17. Materials for the

Over please

�Michigan Center for Rural Health
The series of workshops for MCRH using satellite down links to hospitals and clinics in northem
Michigan and the UP has been competed with MCRH expressing complete satisfaction. They
have contracted with MNA to provide similar workshop series in 2004 and 2005. MCRH has been
approached to use their system for a series of MNA trainings reaching out-state constituents with
capacity building workshops slatting in spring 2004.
Indiana University Fund Raising School
The class on involving volunteers and staff in major gift solicitation was canceled due to low
registration. The price of classes is a barrier to many potential attendees and strategies to lower
costs are being explored. Other scheduled classes in Livonia through March 2004 address basic
training in development and donor communications.
Michigan MSO Network
The Michigan MSO Network met September 8. The Michigan Nonprofit Compensation and
Benefit Survey has secured seven sponsors, including MNA and is moving forward well in
partnership with the Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership.

(

The MSO network heard a presentation on how MSO's could become involved with the Michigan
Broadband Authority to help local nonprofits secure computer hardware. MNA and NPower
Michigan will work together to create a vehicle to facilitate this support. They reviewed the
Hallmarks for Mission Achievement tool for organizational assessment and leamed about a
partnership between MNA and Nonprofit Enterprise at Work to place prospective board members
through an internet-based data bank and to provide training to strengthen nonprofit boards.
Southeast Michigan Nonprofit Continuum
The Continuum pattners are wrapping up service to the pilot group of agencies and beginning
work with a second phase of organizations. Assessment of phase one is nearly complete. City
Connect Detroit is supporting the search for funding for on-going operations.
Consultations
Recent consultations by MNA staff have included a workshop on building collaborative
partnerships and grant writing for the City of Lansing and a workshop for the Michigan Coalition
Against Domestic and Sexual Violence on the roles ofthe executive director and the board in fund
development.

Membership Committee
No Motions Requiring Board Action

�Michigan Nonprofit Association
Nonprofit Outreach Report
September 16, 2003

!Membership Update
A new membership brochure is currently in the design phase. We hope to have the
brochure ready for a membership recmitment campaign by the end of October. Although
our membership has increased slightly this past quatier, we are not reaching the goal that
we had set in the Strategic Plan in 200 l. Possibly the renewed effoti and a sharp brochure
will help to better market MNA.
!Publications
The bookstore on the Web site is being updated. Several new publications have atrived
and a few out-of-print titles have been removed. We are currently investigating an online
credit card processing system which will probably increase sales and reduce the time
required for invoicing and follow-up.

I Benefits &amp;

Services

Two new membership services are being investigated:

I. Online Postage- This system will allow MNA and our member organizations to
save money on postage by purchasing and printing postage via the internet. Much
of the savings comes from elimination of rental fees for postage meters.
2. Conference Calling- Details are being finalized on a conference call plan that
will reduce costs for members. Details will be finalized before the winter Board
meeting.

I MNA Publications
Due to an increased amount of news in the nonprofit sector, the past few issues of MNA
Links have been larger than the usual 16 pages. The increased size has made adhering to
deadlines more difficult; however we make every attempt to get the newsletter to you by
the fifth of the month.
Plans are underway for the 2004 MNA Directory. A decision has been made to change
the directory to have greater focus on consultants and other resources for nonprofit
organizations. The amount of member information, which changes the most rapidly will
not be included in the directory but will be kept up-to-date on the Web site.

�IMNA Web Site
As previously mentioned, the online bookstore is being updated and online credit card
processing will soon appear. Remember to check the Web site often as new information
is added on a regular basis.

I Classified Advertising
The pattnership with Opportunity Knocks, a national job posting service that was
announced last quarter has been postponed due to financial issues that could not be
resolved. In spite of the employment market, we continue to have numerous postings for
jobs in the nonprofit sector.
