These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these fmancial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with audit standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are fi:ee of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence suppmiing the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements refened to above present fairly, in all material respects, the fmancial position of Michigan Nonprofit Association as of June 30, 2006, and the results of its activities and its cash flows for the year then ended in confonnity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Training Summer workshops were provided in Detroit as well as Lansing. Topics featured expanded versions of some of the best of the SuperConference workshops. Topics included: customer service, e-advocacy, branding related to fund development, how to start a nonprofit in Michigan and building a super board of directors. A patinership is being fonned with Detroit metro area management supp01i organizations to provide a series of workshops in the area. The patiners are Detroit Executive Service Corps, New Detroit and City Connect Detroit. The fall series of workshops will focus on communications issues and feature approaches to increase the likelihood of impact on attendees beyond the initial training experience. MNA developed a three-workshop track for the August 24 Governor's Faith Based and Community Resource Symposium in Detroit. A two-day workshop on federal and nonfederal funding as well as grant writing is scheduled for October 19 and 20 in cooperation with Senator Levin's Detroit office, City Connect Detroit, LISC and the Detroit Entrepreneurship Institute. MNA is working with the Capital Area Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in co-sponsoring a fall AFP member meeting on corporate sponsorships. AFP has decided not to co-sponsor a full-day conference this year. Consulting and Custom Training MNA staff continues to provide consultation and custom training for individual organizations as time allows. Recent work included a workshop on nonprofit assessment using the Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Mission Achievement assessment tool for the Saginaw County Community Foundation. Future trainings include a series on fun development for the St, Clair County Community Foundation and board development for organizations in Coldwater and Manchester. U.P. Nonprofit Conference The U.P. Nonprofit Conference will be October 13 in Mm·quette. The conference is cosponsored by the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development and MNA. Ouida Cash is the featured keynote speaker for this second annual event expecting to attract over 200 nonprofit leaders. Judy Moore, Chair Leadership attd Training Committee �(M*N~A) Michigan Nonprofit Association Michigan Nonprofit Leadership Institute Program Update September 12, 2006 No board action required. • Professional Development Programs Continue to Evolve Class VII of Emerging Leaders began August 10-11, 2006 with 16 members (see enclosed roster). Of interest, this class includes the I OOth Emerging Leader to patticipate in the program. Class VII will graduate in January, 2007 and staff are exploring ways to celebrate the milestone through web and print communication. With the opening of the Detroit office, two of Emerging Leaders' five sessions will be held in the metro-Detroit area. We will seek feedback fi·om participants related to these logistical changes and its effect on the Emerging Leaders experience. Due to minimal emollment, Executive Leadership Fellows Class Ill has been postponed. Based on constituent inquiry, it appears that an intennediate level program (currently referred to as "So, You Want to Be an Executive Director") will draw a greater level of participation. Staff is evaluating the curriculum components of Emerging Leaders and Executive Leadership Fellows to realign training modules and develop content that will address the needs and interests of three distinct audiences. Plans are to fmalize the curriculum in fall 2006 and begin the intermediate program in spring 2007. Emerging Leaders will continue to be offered every 6-9 months (as interest permits), and the intermediate program will be offered alternately with the Executive Leadership Fellows. • Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence in Michigan Community-based P&P orientations continue, as do Principle-specific trainings. The most highly requested seminars to date are in Planning, Evaluation and Governance. It is expected that the web-based presence of Principles & Practices and the Basic Infrastructure Checklist will be operational in late fall 2006. The Maine Nonprofit Association has adapted the Principles and Practices tools for their nonprofit constituents and is also developing an online resource. Staffs of the two associations continue to share resources and discuss further opportunities for sustainability. • Battle Creek Pilot MNA submitted a three-year proposal to the WK. Kellogg Foundation to explore the feasibility of an administrative suppott center as well as high-end consulting in the areas of Executive Transition Management and Strategic Restructuring. In pattnership with the Battle Creek-based Nonprofit Alliance, MNA will explore program models and delivery methods that increase the sustainability of local nonprofits and will, ultimately, develop replicable frameworks which can be tailored in other geographic areas of the state. MNA is anticipating a late-September response to the proposal. �Emerging Leaders Class VII Roster •!• Randy Albetts Director of Work Services Freedom Work Oppottunities, Inc 2880 N.

The number of non-renewals was equal to the number of new members enrolled. A more aggressive program to address retention will be developed and implemented within this next quatier. A membership survey will be conducted before the end of the year. The survey will be designed to provide information to assist staff with the selection of member benefits, as well as assist with recruitment and retention efforts. !Publications MNA patinered with AliServe Michigan to provide a bookstore at their August conference in Lansing. The process worked very well and has led the staff to consider the possibility of hosting bookstores for other nonprofit organizations. Publication sales during the 05-06 fiscal year were nearly double the amount budgeted for the year due to aggressive marketing and high conference sales. IMNA Publications Planning for The 2007 Nonprofit Consultant and Resource Direct01y is undetway. For the first time, electronic entries from consultants and vendors are being accepted through the MNA website Service Directory. Online data collection will reduce data entry and the amount of staff time required for the project. We anticipate the directory will be available by the end of the year. IMNALinks The MNA member newsletter received a face-lift during the summer. To better meet member's needs for resources, the newsletter now includes a headlined article for each of the ten guiding principles in MNA 's Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence. In addition, Council of Michigan Foundations provides an article on philanthropy and ConnectMichigan Alliance writes a piece related to volunteerism. Other new features include a featured MNA staff member and a featured MNA member organization. �IClassified Advertising MNA staff continue to receive good reports on the quality of candidates that are attracted to employment positions through MNA's Classified Connection. Approximately 75 percent of our advettisers are return customers. Last spring, Crain's Detroit Business updated their website and incorporated the nonprofit news and job listings into the business section rather than maintaining a separate nonprofit news site. The transition caused a temporary reduction in the number of listings we were receiving from Crain's; however the site is still heavily visited by job seekers and we anticipate increased attention from advettisers as the year progresses. If you have questions about MNA membership, services or benefit programs, contact Jan Harper at 517/492-2416 or jharper@mnaonline.org. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

President's Report Sam Singh updated the MNA Board ofTmstees on the NPower Michigan Merger. He provided an overview of the Agreement and Plan of Merger prepared by Sandra Cotter of Dykema law firm. Sam noted that the document provides a provision that if, after a 12-month period, the relationship between Michigan Nonprofit Association and NPower Michigan did not work; then Michigan Nonprofit Association would go through the process of acquiring a new 501 (c)(3) status for NPower Michigan. A full merger planned to take place July 1, 2006. Bill Liebold, Ouida Cash and Ira Strumwasser represented the MNA Board of Tmstees throughout the meetings. Sam thanked Ouida, Bill and h'a for their suppo1i and work on the merger. A motion was made by Bill Liebold and seconded by Debbie Mikula that the MNA Board enter into the full merger as planned with the Michigan Nonprofit Association and NPower Michigan. Motion carried.

Interviews will take place in mid-July. Recently, MNA received notice that the Hudson-Webber Foundation will be funding the Metro Detroit Pa1inership with a three-year grant. A few activities have already taken place at the Metro Detroit office. Mitzy Sharp Futro is conducting a series of nonprofit stari-up workshops. The Getting Started Workshop Series: How to Form a 501(c)(3) Public Charity in Michigan. This three-part series includes: session one: Nonprofit Basics; session two: The State Forms; and session three: The Federal Form. Next, Sam Singh noted that MNA is in the process of finalizing the 2004-2007 Strategic Plan. He asked Dave Swenson to give an update on the two-year highlights of the Strategic Plan. Dave 2 �said the staff appreciates this framework as it helps measure the accomplishments of MNA. The infmmation was broken down by goals, strategies and repmts. Areas reported on include Accountability, Leadership, Membership, Modeling Excellence, Public Policy, Sustainability and Training and Teclmical Assistance. The MNA Board of Trustees thanked Dave for his comprehensive report. Executive Session At this point, an Executive Session to review the Performance Review of the President and CEO was called by Vice-Chair Karla Hall, and MNA staff members were excused from the meeting. Nominating Committee Report Sr. Monica Kostielney thanked the connnittee members for their fine work and repotted that the Nominating Committee unanimously reconnnends to the MNA Board of Trustees that they approve the appointment of the following MNA Board members: Chair-Elect- Ouida Cash- Starfish Family Services Treasurer - Elyse Rogers - MAC International Ltd- USA Secretaty - Sr. Monica Kostielney - Michigan Catholic Conference Sr. Monica thanked the Nominating Connnittee for their service and especially Ira Strumwasser for his years of service on the Nominating Connnittee and she noted that he will be greatly missed. A motion was made by Sr. Monica Kostielney to accept the slate of officers as presented and was seconded by Justin King. Motion carried.

Public Policy Committee Rob Collier discussed HB 6153, which amends the Supervision of Trustees for Charitable Purposes Act to enforce the intent of the grantors of a charitable trust in the distribution of assets. A charitable ttust includes public charities and private foundations that hold propetty for a charitable purpose. Specifically, the bill requires 50% of the charitable ttust's grants and distributions to be made in Michigan and states that no more than 50% of the trust's grants or distributions may be made to different types of recipients than were made by the original tmstees up to the time that more than half of the original tmstees had turned-over. A discussion followed and it was stated that HB 6153 is a governance issue and not a legal issue and that this is not the way to address this issue. It was noted that this is a good example of a 3 �policy issue that makes sense for MNA to take a stance on. HB 6153 has significant ramifications to the nonprofit sector. A motion was made to oppose HB 6153 by David Price and was seconded by Bill Liebold. Motion carried. Erin Skene gave an update on Nonprofit Day, September 27, 2006, at the Lansing Center.

She noted that effmis on the federal level to increase tax incentives for charitable giving and efforts for reform have been stalled. These provisions were not included in the Tax Reconciliation Act. However, the measures may be included in the Pension Reform Act, which is currently in conference. Erin also repmied that SB 1039 had passed the State Senate and had been referred to the Tax Policy Committee. Fund Advancement Committee Report Carolyn Bloodwotih reviewed the MNA Fund Advancement Repoti. Carolyn noted that everyone has the oppottunity to contribute to the MNA Strategic Fund.

C. Proposal 6 "SOS" - The committee was provided an update regarding Proposal 6 or the "Stop OverSpending" ballot initiative. A legal challenge has been launched and the State Board of Canvassers will meet on September 8 to determine if the initiative petition is sufficient to be placed on the ballot and the language for the proposal if it qualifies for the ballot. The Michigan Nonprofit Association continues to work with the Defend Michigan coalition to educate nonprofits on the negative impact of this proposal. D. Pension Refotm Act of2006- In August, President Bush signed the Pension Reform Act of 2006 which includes several charitable tax incentives and refonns. Attached is an outline regarding some of the legal changes including a tax-free IRA rollover, increased fines and penalties, notification requirement for small charities, public disclosure of unrelated business income tax (UBIT) returns, and more. �Legal Changes for Charities in the Pension Reform Act of 2006 President Bush recently signed into the law the Pension Reform Act of2006 (PL 109280) which contains many new changes to federal charity law and charitable tax incentives. The following are excerpts from an analysis by United Way of America on some of the provisions included in this act. A full analysis is available online at http://national.unitedway.org/files/pdf/UWAAnalysis2006Charitylaw.pdf. United Way of America is continually updating their analysis. New Charitable Tax Incentives Donations from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) The new law allows tax-free donations to charities from IRAs by taxpayers aged 70 Yz or older. The provision- also called the IRA rollover- allows these taxpayers to make contributions of up to $100,000 per year from either traditional or Roth IRAs. The law covers donations to churches and public charities, but excludes donations to foundations, donor advised funds, supporting organizations, and split interest vehicles such as remainder tmsts. Under previous law, withdrawals from traditional IRAs were taxed normally (federal and state) before proceeds could be given to charity. Money locked up in IRAs was also subject to the estate tax. The provision applies to donations from both traditional and Roth IRAs, although donations from traditional IRAs will receive more beneficial tax treatment because withdrawals from Roth IRAs can, generally, already be made tax-free. The provision is effective immediately and applies to donations made in tax years 2006 and 2007. The provision may be extended beyond 2007 by future legislation. Exclusion of Payments from Subsidiaries from Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) Under present law, rent, interest income, annuity, and royalty payments paid to a charity by a controlled subsidiary is generally subject to unrelated business income taxes (UBIT), which are assessed on the tax-exempt parent. The new law exempts such payments to the extent they are at or below fair-market value, and assesses penalties when such payments exceed fair-market value. This provision is effective for two years and applies retroactively to payments made on or after January I, 2006 and before January 1, 2008. New Charity Laws and Reforms Increased Fines and Penalties The new law doubles fines, penalties, and excise taxes associated with a variety of existing charity and foundation laws. Examples include a doubling of taxes on transactions that personally benefit charity or foundations managers (also known as 'self dealing'), taxes on excess holdings by foundations in individual businesses, and taxes on certain activities deemed noncharitable in purpose. The changes are effective for tax years beginning after the date of enactment (generally January 1, 2007). �Donated Clothing and Household Items Under cutTent law, taxpayers may claim deductions for contributions of clothing and household items. According to IRS data, taxpayers donate billions of dollars worth of such items every year. Some charities, such as Goodwill and the Salvation Amty, issue guides to help donors value such items on their tax retmns. Taxpayers must obtain a receipt from the donee charity to claim the deduction. Under the new law, taxpayers will only be allowed to claim deductions for such items if they are in good condition or better, unless the item is worth more than $500 and the taxpayer includes a qualified appraisal along with the tax return. The law authorizes the IRS to deny deductions for items with minimal value, such as used socks and undetwear, regardless of their condition. The provision is effective for contributions made after the date of enactment: August 17, 2006. Recordkeeping Requirements for Monetary Donations The new law requires taxpayers claiming a charitable deduction to maintain records of all monetary contributions. Specifically, the law requires taxpayers to maintain a cancelled check, bank record, or a receipt from the recipient charity showing the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution. Under previous law, the IRS did not require such records for contributions less than $250, allowing taxpayers to maintain their own written records as proof. This will no longer be allowed under the new law. Among other effects, the new requirement will affect the deductibility of anonymous donations to religious institutions, such as chmches via collection plates. However, such institutions often provide gift envelopes so that donations can be recorded. Also, the new requirement will only affect taxpayers who itemize their taxes. Under current law, the two-thirds of American taxpayers who take the standard deduction may not write off charitable contributions, so the new record-keeping requirements will not affect them. The new requirement is effective for tax years beginning after the date of enactment, which for most people means the law will take effect January 1, 2007. Appraisal Refmm Accurate appraisals are important for determining the value and deductibility of many gifts of tangible propetiy, including attwork, buildings, land, etc. In general, donations of tangible gifts with a declared value of$5,000 or more must be appraised. Faulty or fraudulent misstatements can have significant tax consequences. The new law tightens existing law governing such appraisals. It lowers the threshold for imposing accuracy-related penalties on taxpayers, increases education and experience requirements for "qualified appraisers", and subjects appraisers responsible for gross valuation misstatements to increased financial penalties and possible suspension. The provisions generally become effective upon the date of enactment: August 17, 2006. Notification Requirement for Small Chadties Under previous law nonprofit organizations, other than private foundations and churches, with gross receipts less than $25,000 per year were not required to file an annual Form 990 return with the IRS. There are an estimated 500,000 charities in the United States that do not file an annual Form 990. Because they do not file an annual report, the IRS is �unable to verify their continued existence or if they continue to operate for charitable pmposes. The new law requires organizations that fall beneath the $25,000 threshold to electronically file a notice containing: (a) the legal name of the organization and any name under which it does business; (b) its mailing address and Internet web site, if any; (c) its taxpayer identification number; (d) the name and address of a principal officer; (e) evidence of the continuing basis for the organization's exemption from filing the 990; and (f) upon termination of the organization, notice ofthat tetmination. Failure to file the annual notice for three consecutive years will result in termination of the organization's tax-exempt status. Failure to file will not result in fines or other monetary penalties. The new law exempts churches, related religious organizations, and certain govetmnentaffiliated organizations. The IRS is directed to notify charities of the new requirement by mail, Internet or other means. The provision becomes effective for notices and returns associated with annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007. IRS Information-Sharing with State Charity Officials Enforcement of charity laws is shared between federal and state agencies. Federal enforcement is principally the responsibility of the IRS Exempt Organizations Division. State enforcement is undertaken by state attorneys general, state tax agencies, and other state officials. Under current law, the IRS is only authorized to share enforcement related information on specific cases with state revenue officials. The new law allows the IRS, upon written request, to share enforcement-related information on charities with appropriate state officials engaged in the enforcement of state laws. The provision is effective as of the date of enactment: August 17, 2006. Public Disclosure ofUmelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) Returns The new law requires charities to make payments by controlled organizations public, including loans or transfers, by reporting them on the Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (IRS Form 990-T). It allows withholding of information that would adversely affect the organization, including information relating to trade secrets and patents. The provision is effective for annual returns filed after the date of enactment: August 17, 2006. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Background These organizations were fmmed from the need to provide infrastructure support to the nonprofit sector and the volunteers that serve their causes. Incorporated in 1990 as the Michigan Nonprofit Fomm, MNA was first a think-tank dedicated to discussing issues impacting nonprofits. In 1994, the organization was renamed as the Michigan Nonprofit Association to provide direct advocacy and services to local nonprofit organizations. Today, MNA stands as one of the country's most innovative nonprofit associations with nearly I ,000 members and offices in Lansing and Detroit. CMA was incorporated in 2000 as a public/private venture to provide permanent suppmt for service and volunteerism in Michigan. CMA is a partnership alliance of MNA, Michigan Community Service Commission, Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, and is suppmted in part by its $20 million endowment fund. The endowment was made possible through a challenge grant from Michigan's govemor and the state legislature, and matching contributions of over 200 donors including foundations, corporations, nonprofits and individuals. When CMA was fonned, the founding board and staff determined that the organization would ensure that a) resources would be focused on the work of the partners and b) that it would utilize existing administrative resources instead of creating duplicative stmctures and systems. To that end, CMA contracts with MNA to handle its needs in bookkeeping, human resources, information technology, and other administrative support services. CMA in turn provides financial resources from the endowment to underwdte a portion of those expenses and subleases space for MNA's Lansing office. CMA serves as the host and fiduciary organization for the Michigan Campus Compact and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. The Michigan Community Service Commission (a state govemmental entity) utilizes its relationship with CMA in several ways including contracting with CMA to host several national service programs including two that support the Mentor Michigan initiative and driving its own public policy goals through the Serve Michigan program created and hosted by CMA in partnership with the Michigan Public Policy Initiative ofl'viNA. 3 �DRAFT For internal discussion purposes only Challenge Both CMA and MNA are growing organizations with important missions to serve the same sector-nonprofits in Michigan. At the same time, CMA has been working to find its niche in the sector without duplicating programs, services and resources already available to the sector including training, technical assistance, public policy, advocacy and research. These services, along the administrative support already mentioned above, are provided tlu·ough the partnership with MNA. In addition, each organization has created a management stmcture that includes a CEO to administer very similar operations. The challenge before both organizations is to detetmine how they continue to grow without creating duplication and competition while maximizing resources. Opportunity The management of both the CMA and MNA believe that the timing is ripe for the two organizations to discuss bringing their missions and operations in even closer alignment. Both CMA and MNA are strong organizations with important missions, good govemance structures, quality programs, and solid financials. Because these organizations come to this discussion from positions of strength - making for a healthy climate- this realignment dialogue can be about bringing similar missions together for the greater good. Benefits A merger could result in: • increase effectiveness by eliminating duplicative management stmctures, • enhanced efficiencies through further integration of the current programs and partners • redeployment of newly realized assets into new areas previously not possible due to limited resources, and • more assured sustainability for the work ofboth organizations by combining the reputation, brand and services ofMNA with the innovative partnerships and endowment resources of CMA. Risks As with any merger, a certain amount of risk is involved. However, the integrity of a $20 million endowment, assurance of the continued growth of affiliates and their programs, and the recognized quality of a statewide association must all be protected throughout this discussion and any subsequent reorganization. On the other hand, should both organizations continue on their current paths, there will likely be an increased risk of duplication, competition for market share, and under utilization of precious resources. 4 �DRAFT For internal discussion purposes only Structure/Governance Options (see Appendix A for detailed summary) There are tlu·ee possible models that could be considered to begin the discussions. Each is laid out in detail below. Option A~ Full Merger This scenario brings the two organizations together into one by one of the administrative and governance stmctures dissolving into the other with the assets, affiliations and programs transferring accordingly. Option B ~ Support Organization This scenario changes one of the organizations into a fully-owned suppmi organization of the other. This still involves dissolving the 501 (c)(3) status of one of the organizations but also provides for the protection of the assets of the dissolved organization tlu·ough an advisory board. Option C- Hybrid Model ) This scenario could leave open the opportunity to create one 501 (c)(3) organization fi·om two entities and share governance tlu·ough an expanded board of trustees and or the creation of an advisory board with increased yet still limited authority. Each of these scenarios have their pros and cons and offer a different insight into how these two organizations might more effectively align themselves. Leadership/Staffing Options Both CMA and MNA have senior leadership within their organizations (i.e. President and CEO positions). A traditional merger model would suggest that one of the CEO's would assume the leadership roles of the combined organizations, however, the unique scenarios offered in the previous section leave open the opportunity of additional options. Below are three options for consideration that each has their own unique opportunities and challenges. Option A -Traditional This option retains one CEO from either the sustaining or merging organization and determines other role(s) for the remaining CEO in one oftwo ways: I. The remaining CEO is either provided new opportunities within the new organization (i.e. Chief Operating Officer, or Senior Vice President for Program and Administration, Senior Advisor to the CEO, etc.), or 5 �DRAFT For internal discussion purposes only 2. The remaining CEO is given an "incentive package" to depart the organization. Option B - Interim CEO I Search This option leaves open the opportunity for the new board of directors of the sustaining organization to appoint an interim CEO while the new organization's board conducts a search for a pe1manent CEO. Both of the current CEO's could be candidates for either the interim position as well as the permanent position. Option C- Hyblid This option combines all the aforementioned components and creates a dialogue for any transition issues that either CEO would like considered. Options could include one of the CEO's stepping down, but remaining as a consultant while the other serves as the permanent CEO or serves as interim while a search is conducted. Recommendation It is clear that many possibilities exist and that focused, deliberate and thoughtful consideration needs to be given to the oppmiunities. For this reason, senior staff members of MNA and CMA recommend that the boards of the two partner organizations engage in a conversation to investigate the interest, possibilities and risks and benefits of a merger utilizing a deliberative process (see "Proposed Process" below). 6 �DRAFT For internal discussion purposes only Propose dP rocess Step Action Informal discussions I 2 3 4 5 ) 6 I. 7 8 9 Timing Outcomes/Actions Summer, Seek advice, gauge suppm1 or resistance 2006 before proceeding Propose creation of Fall,2006 CMAandMNA Fonnal preliminary Trustees, CMA ad hoc work group to discussions facilitate discussions Affiliates between the boards on the possibility of a merger Staff and work group Fall, 2006Ad Hoc Work Research Options investigate options Winter 2007 Group, staff, based on guiding outside principles, resources, consultants stmctures, and opportunities Exec.

Mission A-Full Mer<>er Involved organizations determine if their missions are in alignment to warrant merger. I Governance Legal Status Affiliations/Assets Human Resources The trustees of the sustaining partner assume total governance responsibility of the merging organization, dissolving that organization's board of trustee structure. The dissolving organization ends its legal status (including IRS nonprofit designation) and transfers that responsibility to the sustaining organization. Financial, intellectual, and affiliation properties are transferred from the merging organization to the sustaining organization. Personnel of both organizations are conjoined to align with new sustaining organization design B- Support Organization C- Hybrid Model Discussions on the exploration of missions are in line, however makes clear that a new and larger mission can open an opportunity for a new structure. Trustees of sustaining Two organizations create a new organization assume ultimate organization with the board of governance responsibility of both trustees comprised of their organizations while an advisory of members. the merging organization provides input and advice. Organizations explore alignment, but does not require the dissolution or overhaul of either organization's missions The merging organization ends its IRS nonprofit designation and transfers that responsibility to the sustaining organization, however retains independent legal viability for the protection of assets. Similar to Option A, however merging organization maintains it own assets and affiliations. Both organizations can either bring staffing together or maintain separate structures depending on need and practicality. 9 A new nonprofit legal entity is formed including a new 501(c)(3) organization. Properties that align with the new mission are transferred to the new organization while working in partnership with the two forming organizations. Personnel recruited to staff organization with leadership staff from either or both of the forming organizations. �DRAFT For internal discussion purposes only Appendix B-Organization(s) Desctiptions ConnectMiclligan Alliance Mission The mission of the CmmectMichigan Alliance is to promote and strengthen a life-long ethic of service and civic engagement through the support of community building initiatives.

The first goal was to understand and organize the work of the office so that the staff could begin to document the outcomes and impact of MNA in Southeast Michigan. In order to accomplish this goal I worked with the staff to develop an annual plan for the office. The annual plan incorporates overall goals and output objectives in four programmatic areas. These program areas include: • ) • • • Organizational capacity building for MNA customers thl'Ough MNA's provision of training, technical assistance, consulting, and information services on non-profit management, governance, and sustainability; Leadership Development for emerging and current nonprofit executives; Research, Advocacy, and Public Policy; and Member Services. The next step is to develop outcome objectives for each of these areas. I worked to identify an external evaluator who will help us design and implement an evaluation process to document outcomes and the impact each of our activities will have on nonprofits in southeast Michigan. Finally related to this goal, I organized and convened the first of three annual Advisory Council meetings. The Advisory Council will help the staff focus and shape the strategies that will be implemented to meet the needs of nonprofit organizations in southeast Michigan. My second goal was to facilitate operational unity between MNA and NPower staff. With Andy Wohler's assistance, the two staff teams have begun joint meetings to plan and implement operational and programmatic procedures. Kristin Mucher has been important to this work with her offer to work with Mitzy Sharp Futro and Dave Swenson to facilitate the evaluation design and also to work on internal communications. Andy Wohler and Mike Corbin are working together to conduct a technology training series. My third goal was to increase the visibility ofMNA in the metro Detroit area. The first event that will help with this goal is the Open House for the office, which will be held on December 6, 2006. A press release and over 1000 invitations have been disseminated and almost 200 persons are on the RSVP list. Finally, the fomth goal was to hire an administrative assistant. We have hired Deborah A. Foster, who will begin work on December 4, 2006. �NPower Michigan Activity Update Prepared December ], 2006 NPower Michigan staff and board are in the midst of a new business planning process, consisting ofNPower negotiating discounts on a specific technology products/services available on a per user fee basis, with customer-specific technology strategy and planning included as part of the prrce. Three subcommittees of the NPower Michigan operating council have met recently (see notes below) and discussed different aspects of this plan. The operating council meets again on December 8 for another in-depth discussion. Fundraising (11114) Attended by: Warren Goodell, Wayne Mcleroy, Pat McQueen, Dick Rappleye Staff: Dave Swenson (MNA), Andy Wolber Focus is on identifying large corporate partners with significant internal IT operations. Goal is to partner with corporate volunteers to provide basic IT projects, as well as receiving financial support to pay for NPower staff to manage the volunteer training, scheduling and quality assurance processes. Seeking partners in the Southeastern MI (EDS, GM, others) and Calhoun County markets. ) Activities in progress: a. Sam Singh and I subsequently met with Ford. They've continued interest in providing volunteers (during two days of paid time that Ford employees get to do community service work), starting in March 2007. b. Met with Corneas! (11129); doing follow-up meeting to discuss volunteers and other initiatives (1124/07). c. In process of scheduling meeting with Pfizer. c. Accenture interested in leveraging their staff to help us develop the "toolkits" to be used by volunteers. �Product/Service Mix (11/14) Attended by: Gavin Clabaugh, Scott Goemmel, Wayne Mcleroy, Ken Young Staff: Adam King, Kristine Mucher, Andy Wolber Guest: Dave Truesdale (Everdream) Discussed technology assessment, stabilization, maintenance and improvement processes, along with identifying tasks that may be completed on-site and/or remotely. Discussed pricing in the context of a sample organization of 15 staff members that presently spends about $480 per month on NPower services. Activities in progress: a. Exploring capabilities and specific pricing of different tools (Everdream, others), along with specific pricing for capabilities (backup, remote access, monitoring). b. Beginning conversations with MI service providers to obtain pre-negotiated nonprofit pricing for service delivery of specific functions (break-fix, network support, server deployment) across the state. Customer Needs Assessment (11117) Attended by: Wayne Mcleroy, Dick Rappleye, Ken Young, Warren Goodell Staff: Andy Wolber, Adam King, Kristine Mucher Discussed ways to systematically assess identify nonprofit organization's teclmology needs, specifically by using a combination of: -Focus group discussions a 12-18 member group representing our target market (nonprofit orgs in $500k-$3 million budget size). Discussions would be quarterly, with the customer group being created as a standing committee with rotating membership. -Surveys, potentially ofMNA membership or broader MI nonprofit sector. (One idea: maybe we could replicate the survey done by Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh in years they don't do their survey, e.g., we could survey in odd years, since they survey in even years. The survey is a general assessment of adoption and use practices. �AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement") is entered into this _ _ day of December, 2006 by and between MICHIGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION, a Michigan nonprofit corporation (the "MNA"), and NPOWER MICIDGAN TECHNOLOGY CENTER, a Michigan nonprofit corporation (''NPOWER MICHIGAN").

Day one featured grant writing skills in tracks for new and experienced grant writers. Day two featured conversations with representatives of governmental agencies and private foundations. Attendance was 275, providing vital information to a large audience and testing the limits of the DEI site. Plans are underway for a 2007 edition at a larger space. A Signature Series workshop on strategy fonnation and strategic restructuring with La Piana Associates attracted 54 pmiicipates on November 15 in Livonia. Participants contemplating mergers were particularly pleased with the infonnation presented. MNA partnered with Detroit Executive Service Corps, Metropolitan Detroit Volunteer Administration Network, United Way for Southeastern Michigan Romney Volunteer Center and Volunteer Centers of Michigan to bring national trainer and Wliter Nancy Mcduff to Southfield on November 20. The workshop was New Vitality: Strategies to Grow Your Volunteer Program. A total of 105 registrants showed that there is an interest in training on volunteer program management. United Parcel Service provided a $500 sponsorship. MNA worked with Digital IMS to provide a fi·ee October 11 webinar for members on how to improve their Web sites. Interest was so great that two additional webinars were scheduled October 24 and November I with a total of 62 participants. Six pmiicipating organizations received scholarships for discounted Web site design services. Additionally, two SuperConference 2006 patiicipants received similar scholarships. �A partnership has been formed with Detroit Executive Service Corps, New Detroit and City Connect Detroit to provide a series of workshops in southeastern Michigan. The first half of2007 series of workshops will focus on communications issues and feature approaches to increase the likelihood of impact on attendees beyond the initial training experience. MNA is working with the Capital Area Chapter of the Association ofFundraising Professionals and the local Planned Giving Council to sponsor a spring 2007 workshop on planned giving. Consulting and Custom Training MNA staff provides consultation and custom training for individual organizations. Recent work included a seties on fund development for the St. Clair County Community Foundation; a workshop on Detroit resources for youth for University of Michigan service-leaming students; a session on the law and ethics offundraising for Wayne State University's Nonprofit Management Program; nonprofit life-cycles for the Jackson Nonprofit Suppmi Center; strategic planning for the Manchester Community Resource Center; and internet event marketing for the Michigan Festivals and Events Association annual conference. Strengthening Financial Competencies Model MNA staff is working with Detroit Executive Service Corps and Lawrence Technological University to develop a holistic, integrated model of education, support and capacitybuilding in the area of financial management competencies. The project builds on the efforts made under a research and planning grant given to DESC by Community Foundation, with an anticipated implementation timeframe of late 2007. U .P. Nonprofit Conference The U.P. Nonprofit Conference was held October 13 in Marquette. The conference was co-sponsored by the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development and MNA. Guida Cash was the featured keynote speaker for this second aruma! event that attracted over 175 nonprofit leaders.

A luncheon celebration featuring Mrs. Frances Hesselbein of the Leader to Leader Institute will be held at the Riverside Room in the Kellogg Center (MSU). All Emerging Leaders Alumni, Mentors, Executive Leadership Fellows alumni, and MNA Tmstees received an invitation by mail to the event. Tickets are $25 per person. A copy of the invitation is attached to this repmt for board reference. • MNLI Professional Development Seminar Status There are currently no new sessions scheduled for Emerging Leaders or Executive Leadership Fellows. A new schedule will be available Spring 2007. Strategic decision points influencing the new schedule include the possible addition of a mini-seminar for aspiring Executives, the possibility of launching a Detroit-based Emerging Leaders program, and how to best cross-train staff for program facilitation and sustainability. • Digging Deeper Project: Battle Creek MNA received a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to address nonprofit capacity, sustainability and consultant readiness in the Battle Creek area. Through previous community assessment work, the Nonprofit Alliance (MNA's local partner in this project), has identified an initial target of 87 nonprofits. The initiative will include the following key components: 1. Administrative Support Center A consultant will be engaged to conduct a feasibility study on the potential for developing an administrative support center serving small and mid-size nonprofits. This study will examine a variety of service delivery models already underway statewide; will measure which services are most needed and most fundable; and will determine critical customer mass to ensure sustainability of the center. While the initial services will focus on Battle Creek area nonprofits, we will investigate the possibility of partner sites/communities tlu·ough the use of technology-based services. 2. Technology Readiness NPower Michigan will provide a comprehensive orientation and training series for Battle Creek area nonprofits, preparing them for effective use of technology in pursuit of mission. �(M~N~A) Michigan Nonprofit Association -----------lllllllli&Billl\!llllllllllilllllll!llllilll!llll\!lllllfllllllllllllllllllll rtfte 9rficlii1Jan :Nonprofit }Issociation cefe6rates 100 P.merging £eaaers }ls tlie nonprofit sector prepares for tlie inevita6ifity ana opportunity of cliange, we invite you to join us in recognizing tlie commitment of tlie ne::x:J generation of {eaaers.

Members were not aggressively recruited at the beginning of the fiscal year as a new membership brochure was being developed at the time. The brochure was completed in September and new marketing strategies have since been implemented. Current recmitment/retention strategies are focused on emolling members in the Metro Detroit area and on encouraging organizations that joined MNA through the NPower patinership to renew their memberships. NPower renewals will significantly impact membership numbers and revenue. ) The MNA membership list is available on the website. The list is updated whenever we have membership additions, deletions or changes in information. If you want to verify a membership, refer to the list. If you would like contact information, login as a member and click on the organization name. In 2007, MNA members will have an oppmiunity to select more than one recipient for the MNA Links member newsletter. The number of subscriptions will be based upon the membership dues rates with larger organizations receiving more copies than smaller organizations. It is anticipated that expanded newsletter distribution will: • Better educate all nonprofit employees and board members; • Expand the number of people attending MNA workshops and events; • Increase the number of people utilizing MNA benefit and service programs; • Improve MNA renewal rates; and • Have a positive impact on advertising revenue. The 2007 Nonprofit Consultant and Resource Directory is being finalized. Much ofthe data was collected electronically through the MNA website Service Directory. The directory should be ready for distribution in late December or early January. The directory will be mailed to MNA members and advertisers. Additional copies will be available throngh the online bookstore. �I Publication sales are 100 percent above last December's figures. The Michigan Nonprofit Management Manual and The 2006 Michigan Compensation and Benefit Survey have been top selling publications, due in patt, to direct-mail marketing. Online book sales have also been strong and event and workshops sales have increased. We are discussing the possibility of managing a bookstore for the Michigan State Housing Development Conference in Lansing next spring. Although the profit margin on books is relatively low; managing a bookstore allows staff to promote MNA membership and other benefits to a different nonprofit audience. If you have questions about MNA membership, services or benefit programs, contact Jan Harper at 517/492-2416 or jharper@mnaonline.org. ) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Blews, Jr. Sheilah Patrice Clay Rob Collier Suzanne Greenberg Karla Hall Suzanne Heath Barbara Orr Hill Justin King Barbara Kratchman Sr. Monica Kostielney Bill Liebold Jane Marshall Ann Marston William Mayes Judy Moore David Price Richard Rappleye Anne Rosewarne Carole Touchinski Dale Weighill Doreen Woodward Staff Present: Peggy Casale Kathy Cooney Mike Corbin Mitzy Sharp Futro Jan Harper Robin Lynn Grinnell Marion Gorton Sam Singh Erin Skene David Swenson Andy Wolber Welcome and Introductions Chair Karla Hall greeted everyone and thanked all ofthe new MNA Board ofTmstees for attending their first meeting as trustees. Karla also welcomed Andy Wolber, Executive Director, NPower Michigan and Richard Rappleye, Kresge Foundation. Although unable to attend today's meeting, Karla noted that she is pleased to announce that Charlene Turner Johnson will join the MNA team as the new Executive Director of the Metro Detroit office effective September 18, 2006. She next asked evetyone to introduce themselves. Approval of Minutes of June 20, 2006 A motion to approve the minutes of the June 20, 2006, meeting was made by William Mayes and seconded by David Price. Motion carried ) Chair's Report Karla Hall reported that the Executive Committee recently met and discussed the possibility of closer alignment of ConnectMichigan Alliance and Michigan Nonprofit Association. In addition, discussions were held regarding taking Michigan Nonprofit Association from a member organization to a directorship organization. Sam will provide a complete update on those items during the President's Report. Karla stated that the Nominating Committee will be providing the Board of Trustees with an update regarding the recommendation of providing NPower Michigan with two At-Large seats on the MNA Board of Trustees. Karla reminded Board members that Nonprofit Day 2006, "Proceed with Caution ... Doesn't Mean Yield" will be held on September �27 at the Lansing Center, and the next MNA Board of Trustees meeting is December 12, 2006, at theW. K. Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center. President's Report Sam Singh reported that he and Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO, ConnectMichigan Alliance, have had conversations regarding the concept paper under tab 2. The management of both CMA and MNA believe that the timing is right for the two organizations to discuss bringing their missions and operations in even closer alignment. Sam gave a background ofMNA and CMA and stated as growing organizations they serve the same nonprofit sector. CMA is a partnership alliance of MNA and other organizations and is supported in part by its $20 million endowment fund. CMA contracts with MNA to handle its needs in bookkeeping, human resources, information technology and other administrative support services. CMA in turn provides financial resources from the endowment to underwrite a portion of those expenses and subleases space for MNA's Lansing office. At the same time, CMA has been working to find its niche in the sector without duplicating programs, services and resources already available to the sector including training, technical assistance, public policy, advocacy and research. These services, along with the administrative support are provided through the partnership with MNA. In addition, each organization has created a management structure that includes a CEO to administer very similar operations. The challenge before both organizations is to determine how they continue to grow without creating duplication·and competition while maximizing resources. There are three possible models that could be considered to begin the discussions: Option A -Full Merger This scenario brings the two organizations together into one by having one of the administrative and governance structures dissolve into the other with the assets, affiliations and programs transferring accordingly. Option B - Support Organization This scenario changes one of the organizations into a fully-owned support organization of the other. This still involves dissolving the 501(c)(3) status of one of the organizations but also provides for the protection of the assets of the dissolved organization through an advisory board. Option C - Hybrid Model This scenario could leave open the opportunity to create one 501(c)(3) organization from two entities and share governance through an expanded board of trustees and/or the creation of an advisory board with increased yet still limited authority. 2 �) Both CMA and MNA have senior leadership within their organizations (i.e. President and CEO positions). A traditional merger model would suggest that one of the CEO's would assume the leadership role of the combined organizations, however, the unique scenarios offered in the previous section leave open the opportunity of additional options. Below are three options for consideration that each has their own unique oppottunities and challenges. Option A- Traditional This option retains one CEO from either the sustaining or merging organization, and determines other role(s) for the remaining CEO in one of two ways: 1. The remaining CEO is either provided new opportunities within the new organization (i.e. Chief Operating Officer, or Senior Vice President for Program and Administration, Senior Advisor to the CEO, etc.), or 2. The remaining CEO is given an "incentive package" to depart the organization. Option B -Interim CEO I Search This option leaves open the opportunity for the new board of directors of the sustaining organization to appoint an interim CEO while the new organization's board conducts a search for a permanent CEO. Both of the cunent CEO's could be candidates for either the interim position as well as the permanent position. Option C - Hybrid This option combines all the aforementioned components and creates a dialogue for any transition issues that either CEO would like considered. Options could include one of the CEO's stepping down, but remaining as a consultant while the other serves as the permanent CEO or serves as interim while a search is conducted. A recommendation was made by Rob Collier and seconded by Susan Greenberg that the boards ofthe two partner organizations, ConnectMichigan Alliance and Michigan Nonprofit Association, engage in a conversation to investigate the interest, possibilities and risks of a merger utilizing a deliberative process. And, that the Michigan Nonprofit Association Board of Trustees approve the expenditure of half of the expense of up to $15,000 that will be used to explore the process. Motion carried. Next, Sam Singh discussed a related issue. With Michigan Nonprofit Association being a member organization, a member meeting must be held to review any changes to the association plan. Therefore, the question is as to whether Michigan Nonprofit Association should continue to be under a membership or should it become a directorship association? Sam will forward a copy of the process to all of the Michigan Nonprofit Association Board of Trustees. A recommendation was made by Barbara Kratchman and seconded by Ed Blews that Michigan Nonprofit Association restructure internally from a membership organization to a directorship organization. Motion carried. 3 �Public Policy Committee Report Rob Collier reminded the MNA Board of Trustees that Nonprofit Day 2006 will be held September 27 at the Lansing Center and encouraged everyone to attend. The theme for this year's conference is "Proceed with Caution ... Doesn't Mean Yield." A keynote address by Melissa Flournoy, Louisiana Association ofNonprofit Organizations regarding the nonprofit/government partnership in rebuilding the gulf coast; and a luncheon panel discussion with pollsters and the media regarding their predictions for the November elections. Erin Skene updated everyone on the recent legal changes for charities in the Pension Reform Act of 2006. She noted that a full analysis is available online at http://national. unitedway .org/files/pdf!UWAAnalysis2006ChairtvLaw. pdf. Erin next reviewed the Michigan Participation Project (MPP) which is a nonpartisan initiative dedicated to expanding the role of Michigan nonprofits in voting and elections. MPP is conducting trainings on voter engagement for nonprofits and is co-sponsoring a statewide voter guide with the League of Women Voters of Michigan. Finance Committee Report Peggy Casale provided an overview of the financial activities. She reviewed the Statement of Revenue and Expense. In the area of receivables, $28,927 is the amount billed to organizations and individuals for registration fees to attend the Michigan Nonprofit SuperConference 2006 event and remittance is anticipated to occur within the next month. Peggy noted that all SuperConference 2006 debts have been paid.

Justin King made a recommendation that the Financial Statements for month ending June 30, 2006 accepted as presented. The motion was seconded by Anne Rosewarne. Motion carried. Nominating Committee Report Sr. Monica Kostielney reported that with NPower Michigan merging with and into the Michigan Nonprofit Association, Michigan Nonprofit Association shall provide NPower Michigan with two At-Large seats on the MNA Board of Trustees Class of2007. A recommendation was made that Richard Rappleye, Program Officer, Kresge Foundation, and Liz Siver, Sales and Marketing Director, Microsoft Corporation, be nominated to fill those seats. A motion to approve the nominations of Richard Rappleye, Program Officer, Kresge Foundation, and Liz Siver, Sales and Marketing Director, Microsoft Corporation, to the MNA Class of 2007 was made by Sr. Monica Kostielney and seconded by Judy Moore. Motion carried. 4 �Fund Advancement Committee Report David Swenson reviewed the Fund Advancement Report for the period ending June 30, 2006. The fund advancement activity was recognized as successful for the year with the Michigan Nonprofit Strategic Fund, Michigan Nonprofit Day and Nonprofit SuperConference exceeding expectations. David discussed the importance of board member participation in supporting MNA fund advancement activities and ways to encourage contributions to the Michigan Nonprofit Strategic Fund. The fund advancement report displays the percent of Strategic Fund advancement participation by board members and also by the staff. More funders are requesting information on board and staff participation when requesting funds. David noted that the year is going very well and thanked everyone for their support. Justin King made a recommendation that the Fund Advancement Report be approved as presented. The motion was seconded by Anne Rosewarne. Motion carried. Membership Committee Report Jan Harper reported that this past quarter MNA membership numbers did not increase- that membership is at 996 members. The number of non-renewals was equal to the number of new members enrolled. A more aggressive program to address retention is being developed and will be implemented this next quarter. Leadership and Training Committee Report Judy Moore reported that summer workshops were provided in Detroit as well as Lansing. A partnership is being formed with Detroit metro area management support organizations to provide a series of workshops in the area. Mike Corbin noted that MNA is working with the Capital Area Chapter of the Association ofFundraising Professionals (AFP) in co-sponsoring a fall AFP member meeting on corporate sponsorships. Mike also reported that the U.P. Nonprofit Conference will be October 13 in Marquette. The conference is co-sponsored by the Great Lakes Center for Youth Development and MNA.

The Michigan Commitment to Promote Nonprofit Accountability- contains recommendations for the Michigan legislature to adopt to promote accountability within the nonprofit sector. MNA will recommend that these actions be enacted at the beginning of the next legislative session. The MNA Public Policy Committee recommends that the MNA Board of Trustees adopt the recommendations contained in the "Michigan's Commitment to Promote Nonprofit Accountability." Attachment #1 Discussion Items I. II. III. IV. Election Overview- The public policy committee reviewed the attached activities of the Michigan Pmiicipation Project. The committee also discussed possibilities for the 2008 election to promote nonprofit involvement in voter engagement. Suggestions included continuing existing activities, implementing some type of "nonprofit voting" branding in the materials such as the buttons and bumper stickers, providing additional training on the role of charities in advocating for or against ballot measures, and expanding the questions asked in the Nonpmiisan Voter Guide.

Although these measures may not be as high of a priority for the new leadership, it is expected that Congress will consider teclmical changes to the Pension Protection Act. �Attachment #1 ) �Michigan's Commitment to Promote Nonprofit Accountability Recommendations for the Michigan legislature to enhance nonprofit accountability In recent years there has been much debate in the media, at the Capitol and amongst nonprofits regarding the need to enhance accountability of the sector. Much of this dialogue has stemmed from scandals regarding the operation and governance of organizations. Although many of these scandals involved a few "bad apples," their actions have resulted in an increased scrutiny of the entire community and an urgency to pass refotm measures that boosts the public's faith in nonprofits. Much of this reform can be accomplished tlnough self-regulation and educational efforts, such as the Michigan Nonprofit Association's (MNA) "Principles and Practices," which encourages best practices in the sector. However, there is also a need for policymakers to implement legal changes that will assist nonprofits in meeting their missions, while also protecting "good" organizations from the actions of a few "bad apples." On the federal level, Congress continues to hold hearings and review the conduct of charities, and recently Congress passed the most sweeping refonn of the nonprofit sector since 1968. These measures require additional reporting requirements, additional tax incentives for charitable giving and increased dues and fees for undesirable behavior. As MNA educates and trains Michigan nonprofits on best practices for the governance and operation of their organizations, there is also a need on the state level for legislative change to enhance the accountability of the sector. After much discussion with the nonprofit community, the Michigan Nonprofit Association reconnnends the following amendments to existing state statutes. 1. Revisions to the Nonprofit Corporation Act. The 1982 Nonprofit Corporation Act was the first comprehensive statute governing nonprofit corporations adopted in Michigan. The Nonprofit Corporation Act is modeled on the Business Corporation Act, however, unlike the Business Corporation Act there have been no major amendments to the statute since it was adopted over 20 years ago. This Act applies to all nonprofits, however, as you will see below some ofMNA's recommendations apply only to charities or 501(c)(3) organizations. Although MNA believes that a comprehensive revision of this Act is needed, however, the following are specific recommendations for immediate amendments: • Increase the number of board members required for operation of charities from one to three. Board members of charities have a fiduciary responsibility and are ultimately responsible for the actions of the organization. In such a role it is inappropriate for a charity, which receives donations from the public; foundations; government; and business, to operate with only one board member who could have complete control of the group's finances and not be accountable to other board members. �• • • ) Prohibit loans to board members of charities or 50l(c)(3) nonprofits. Organizations that provide personal loans to board members have received a great deal of scrutiny in the past few years. The purpose of a 50l(c)(3) nonprofit is to serve a charitable need in their community, which does not include providing loans to board members unless the board member is also a client of the charity and such loans are a part of the organization's mission. Allow nonprofits to have members or directors vote by mail, fax or email. This amendment would validate existing practices by nonprofits and ensure that groups participating in this type of activity are in compliance with the law. From a practical standpoint, this revision would also be both time and cost efficient. Require charities that are automatically dissolved to notify the Attorney General of the dissolution. Currently, charities are required to receive permission from the Attorney General prior to filing for dissolution. However, organizations that fail to submit aruma! reports to the Corporation Division for two consecutive years are automatically dissolved and do not have to seek such an approval. This loophole creates situations in which the chief regulator of charities, the Attorney General, may be unaware of organizations that have dissolved. To ensure proper distribution of charitable assets and to account for the organizations that are operating, it is recommended that charities that are automatically dissolved be required to provide notification to the Attomey General. *This revision may warrant amendments to both the Nonprofit Corporation Act and the Dissolution Act. 2. Revision of the Charitable Organization and Solicitation Act. The purpose of the 1975 Act is to regulate organizations and persons soliciting or collecting contributions for charitable purposes. However, due to loopholes within the Act, it's difficult to track noncompliant organizations. The Act needs to be revised to effectively enforce the laws, to prevent misleading information regarding nonprofits from being given to donors and to ease the frustration of nonprofits trying to comply with the differing IRS and Attorney General requirements. Specific revisions include: • • Require charities and fundraisers to register, rather than be licensed, with the Attorney General and to establish registration fees to be dedicated to enforcement and education ofthe sector. It is critical to promoting the accountability of the sector to increase the funding available for the Attorney General to educate the sector on legal compliance and to provide additional enforcement. Allow an organization to raise up to $25,000, rather than $8,000, in a fiscal year before it is subject to the registration and reporting requirements. The proposed exemption level is consistent with reporting requirements of the IRS. �• Increase the prohibited acts involving misrepresentation of a charitable solicitation to donors. To prevent these types of activities it is also recommended that the fines and punishments be raised to be equal to the severity of these actions. 3. End unfair taxation of charitable donations. Currently, when an item is sold at a charitable auction sales tax is levied on the gross proceeds of the sale, even when a bid is much higher than the fair market value of an item. When people bid higher than the fair market value of the item, it is with the intent that the extra money is a charitable donation. To honor the intent of donors and to end taxation on the portion of these sales meant to be a donation, it is recommended that legislation be enacted to allow nonprofits, that sell an item at a charitable auction, to seek a tax refund for the sales tax paid above the item's fair market value. �Attachment #2 �* MICHIGAN~&~· PARTICIPATION PROJECT The Michigan Participation Project (MPP) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit initiative dedicated to expanding the role of Michigan's 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in voting and elections. We provide training, materials and other resources designed to help nonprofits integrate voter registration, voter education, and voter mobilization work into their ongoing activities. MPP is a program of the Michigan Nonprofit Association and is affiliated with the Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network. 2006 Activities • • • • • • • • Developed the Michigan Participation Project website which includes information on: o What's on the ballot; o Where to vote; o How to vote absentee; o The legal do's and don'ts for charities; o How to host a candidate forum; o Ideas for getting out the vote; o Handbook on frequently asked questions regarding voting in Michigan; o Ways charities can be engaged in ballot measures; o And more. More than 5,000 postcards were sent to nonprofits across the state to advertise the website- www.michparticipationproject.org. Bumper Stickers, that stated "November 7," were distributed to 1,000 individuals. MPP distributed more than 7,000 ''I Will Vote November 7" buttons. Voter First Aid.Kits were sent to 1,500 nonprofits across the state. The kits included: flyers to post reminding people to vote, frequently asked questions for voting, lnfonnation regarding the do's and don'ts of election related activities and ideas for getting out the vote. In coordination with the Michigan League of Women Voters, MPP sponsored and circulated more than 5,500 copies of the 2006 Nonpartisan Voter Guide. A train-the-trainers session was held to increase the number of facilitators available to discuss how nonprofits can incorporate this work into their activities. Trainings were held in Detroit to educate nonprofits on voter engagement. �Moving Forward • • • A survey will be sent to the 1,500 groups that received the Voter First Aid Kit to evaluate what materials were useful, if this increased their activities and what materials/activities would be helpful to them in the future. MNA staff and the cadre of MPP trainers will continue to be available to provide trainings across the state on voter engagement. MPP is developing a plan to continue this work and prepare organizations for the 2008 elections. �Attachment #3 �Educating Newly Elected Officials The purpose of the following activities are to educate newly elected officials on what is MNA and CMA and what is the nonprofit sector; and to provide tools for Michigan nonprofits to educate newly elected officials. • • • • • • • • • • Congratulatory letters are being sent to state and federal elected officials. Issues in Brief forums are being scheduled for the next year to educate legislative staff. Letters with additional information regarding MNNCMA and the nonprofit sector will be sent in January. Staff will meet with selected legislators based on leadership positions and committee assignments. MNNCMA will circulate its Policy Agenda to officials in January. Each legislator will be provided with the contact information for nonprofits in their districts. A govennnent directory will again be produced and disseminated to all MNA members. An excel spreadsheet with contact information for state and federal elected officials will be available on the MNA website. A template for mailing labels will also be posted on the MNA website. MNA will send a template email to members of the advocacy action network to help them easily send emails regarding their organizations and the nonprofit sector to legislators. �STATE OF MICHIGAN UNOFFICIAL 2006 GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS ***These numbers are preliminary and unofficial and based upon Bureau of Elections' and County Clerks' results.*** U.S. Senate 7'" Congressional District Walberg, Tim (R) Stabenow, Debbie (D) 8'" Congressional District U.S. Representatives 9 (R)- 6 (D) Rogers, Mike (R) 9'" Congressional District Knollenberg, Joe (R) F' Congressional District Stupak, Bart (D) I d" Congressional District Miller, Candice S.
