This memo will confirm our conversations, outline the logistics, and list some organizing questions you may wish to use as a framework for your group's discussion. I Background. Small group "think tanks" were first proposed by the Executive Task Group at its August 10 meeting. The _goal s for those "think tanks" were twofold: (1) to immerse new Trustees into the Forum's mission, and (2) to cultivate collaborative thinking about how best to implement that missi on . Logietics. Based on those recommendations, the small group discussions tomorrow are scheduled from 10:30 to 11:30, after a BREAK following the general presentations about the Forum. In your packets tomorrow, you will find a list of all group members, as well as room assignments for each group. Two groups wi ll stay in our double meetingroom (University suites 3 & 4), and two other groups will move to a nearby large lounge, where the hotel has extra chairs arranged and reserved for us in two quiet areas (we were assured!), Each Trustee will have a number on his jher nametag, designating a group. Donna Clarke will lead Trustees to the Lounge and will stay to "police the area" during the dis cussi ons. Please let her know if you have any p~oblems.

Each small group has a special emphasis (titles listed above, beside your name), taken from the MNF Mission statement: to promote the awareness ~nd effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to ~dvance t h e cause o{ voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. As we discussed, you could structure the discussion by considering these specific questions: (1) (2) (3) (4) What What What What tor is the problem? is already being done about it? is the most constructive role for MNF? are the group's recommended 2-3 goals in th i s area MNF's first year? Thank you again for your willingness to take on this role. I know the discussions will provide a strong fram e work for the Forum's first year. cc: Russell G.

Lewis Subject: Update on our Progress As some of you already know, we have made real progress toward implementing the agenda set by the Michigan Volunteer Coalition in June. Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker and I met in September to review your suggestions and to consider strategies. Based on our discussion, we are laying groundwork for the following: I. Nine regional meetings of leaders, to structure l asting support systems for voluntarism. II. A bipartisan proclamation of 1991 as the Year of t he Volunteer, with integrated and highly-visible activities throughout the year. III . Potential national visibility as a statewide, integrated model for voluntarism. IV. Identification of resources, including strategies for pooling new sources of support as "social venture capital" for local initiatives. Further, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has invited a concept paper from us on this initiative as a statewide effort. We are now circulating an outline for the concept paper and will convene a second meeting of the Michigan Volunteer Coalition in the late fall or early winter. In the meantime, please keep sending your ideas and suggestions of persons we should i nvolve in this endeavor. cc: George Romney, MVC Cha i rman Janet Blanchard, MVC co-Chair Judith Hooker, MVC Co-Chair �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

Michigan 48901·82!9 MICHIGAN VOLUNTEER COALITION First Meeting, June 20 1990 Clarion Hotel, Lansing 12:45 PM Governor George Romney, Convener Identifying Sites for Future Volunteer Centers. Based on the morning ' s successful meeting with Governor Blanchard, Senator Engler and political leaders from both sides of the aisle, this afternoon's discussion focussed sharply on the goal of establishing a more extensive infrastructure for voluntarism in Michigan. That qoal represents at least two major objectives, now undertaken by the Michigan Volunteer Coalition: (1) Help to strepgthen and publicize the thirteen existing Michigan volunteer service centers; and (2) Develop a strategy for initiating and cultivating up to thirty new volunteer service centers across the state. In the interest of time, Governor Romney suggested that today's discussion focus on identifying potential sites for new centers. Beg inning with that list, Coalition members will soon be canvassed to identify local contacts for further development. At Governor Romney•s request, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will serve as a clearinghouse for this information exchange and strategy development: Maryellen J. Lewis Acting Executive Director Michigan Nonprofit Forum (address above) Natural Groupings". Dorothy A. Johnson, President of the Council of Michigan Foundations, suggested that the Coalition seek "natural groupings " of communities when identifying sites, since funding will necessarily be limited . In the following preliminary list, some groupings may be less appropriate than others, for many reasons. However, these seemed to be consensus that these are useful starting points for exploration. 11 Different Forms.

Seven Counties in the Detroit Metro Area John Macinnes, President of United Community Services in Detroit, offered to take leadership in expanding to all 7 counties. Adrian/Leelenau County Edward 0. Slews, President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universites of Michigan, suggested that Adrian College could be helpful here.

"To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector" Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of nonprofits could be increased: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Share information Broker technical expertise Form a clearinghouse of ideas Share program and service successes Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern Offer professional developmental services (promote expertise for nonprofits) Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public education and the general community Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g., through the press) Emphasize connection between non- and for-profit sectors Promote the sector's ability to communicate successes �III "To advance the cause of voluntarism" Group 3 discussed the need to (1) promote greater public understanding of the rationale for volunteering, and (2) involve schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster a lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The group made two recommendations: IV. 1) MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer institutions, including at least the thirteen volunteer centers and the United Ways, as they prepare for the President's Points of Light Foundation media blitz and its implications for Michigan. 2) A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to be established through the MNF. This committee would most appropriately be chaired by George Romney. "To advance the cause of philanthropy" Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would advance the cause of philanthropy: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan in order to determine where gaps exist. This information should be provided to the Media. Initiate a "Give 5" campaign. Disseminate information on the standards of fundraising. Educate organizations on the Charitable Solicitation Act. Focus on education (K-12). Also focus on foreign companies. Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic, i.e., to include minorities. MNF can provide information on various nonprofits, in order to encourage others to improve and collaborate (e.g., for greater costeffectiveness). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Describe the aspects of your organization that need strengthening or expansion. Identify your priorities and explain why you selected them. Our underdeveloped communication system now stands as a significant barrier to effective fulfillment of our mission. (See mission statement/Executive Summary) The clearinghouse function rests at the··· he .. r-t-. of the design of this organization. However, the cle~~~ghcuse is only one among many implementation responsibilities carried by the single fulltime professional staff person (with one support stat f person) . It has become apparent,. none the 1 ess, that the clearinghouse function must become operational cuickly. in order for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to functiqn in all qther areas qf its missiqn. Once it is made operational, staff and interns can use and maintain the system to support MNF programs. Background. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum was designed to interface and augment services to nonprofits already provided in Michigan, and then to achieve goals only possible through sector-wide collaboration. Many of the services just now emerging in other states are already provided by Michigan organizations such as the Michigan League for Human Services, the Michigan Council for the Arts, and the Michigan Ecumenical Forum -- yet without reaching all nonprofits, and without achieving the "synergy " which a sector-wide alliance might achieve. The Michigan Nqnprofit Forum was desiQned tp achieye that synerQY through communication, planning and collaborative action. Example: As a result of MNF "s efforts, we are now working with the Michigan League for Human Services, the Michigan Environmental Council, the Battle Creek Urban League, the Detroit News and many local nonprofit partners in five Michigan cities to implement the �-3must accelerate development of the clearinghouse function -gathering, synthesizing and disseminating information in specific topical areas -- in order to move ahead in each of our mission areas. We must also accelerate the development of communication "hubs" around the state -- collaborative arrangements with local agencies which participate in the emerging computer hook-up, "fax tree," and other communication systems, and which serve as dissemination points to local communities of nonprofits. We must also orient/train our collaborators to use the systems; we must provide test information to demonstrate its worth; and we must evaluate and adjust the systems to best serve the needs of communities and the sector statewide. Also, since these "communication technologies " are at the heart of the unique services we can offer to Michigan ' s nonprofit sector, and therefore to potential members, we must advance this capacity in · order to expand and develop our membership base. The core of Clarification of MNF Memberships. MNF's membership are its statewide associations -Organizational Members -- which represent nonduplicative fields in the nonprofit sector. Each Organizational Member brings two representatives to the MNF Board, one a rotating elected practitioner from one of their members (e.g., a local human service agency or school), and the other the appointed executive serving the field statewide. This stable core insures that the policy-making board includes representation from these major parts of the nonprofit sector. In addition, the MNF Bylaws provide for Associate Members, who may be any other association or network related to the nonprofit sector, and for Individual Members. The Board is now developing these membership$. 2. Describe the program, service or administrative functjon that your on~anization would like to beQin or improve. Our current budget was designed to support the operation of the communication function through rotating student internships -- short commitments by students, for example to review an area of cutting-edge research or practice and prepare an " issue paper " or column for the newsletter -- and by pooled information from our member organizations (such as research universities, government relations staffs of United Ways, planning staffs of Community Action Agencies and Urban Leagues, and so on). �-5- (b) arranging with researchers and ins~itutes to include MNF in early circulation, and (c) establishing procedures for compiling information from staffs of member agencies. (3) Implement the electronic mail utility, beginning with the MNF board members as a test case. This involves orienting participants, loading useful materials, and assessing use and making adjustments. (4) Use our new desktop publishing software to produce the mastheads and formats for the MNF newsletter, Issues Briefs and Scholars Updates, as well as other occasional publications. Produce initial issues, and market-test them. (Eventually, these will be services to members and available on a subscription basis, a necessary source of income after our first year.) (5) Compile logistical information for planning local/regional roundtables, such as meeting spaces of various sizes within nonprofit organ~zatLans - in various Michigan cities. Using our database and with the guidan-e::e of 1 oca 1 members, campi 1 e top:Lca..l. l.i..sts. .af local leaders for invitation pools.

What are the potential benefits that the nonprofit Sector in your area can ~ain from this service? If possible, quantify these benefits or describe the qualitative impact. The benefits of MNF's emerging communication resource for Michigan's nonprofit sector are still anecdotal, but we can begin to see the pattern of future benefits: -- Because we are able to report new solid numbers defining the sector ' s place in Michigan ' s economy, we have achieved increased press interest and attention. With our systems operational, we intend to keep key journalists apprised of critical sector news; (We now have nearly 350 journalists on our list -- that will increase as a result of our Michigan Communication Project, described above. l -- One quick-and-dirty study by a nonprofit in Michigan ' s "thumb" area clarified the sector's role in local employment and expenditures. Another in Grand Rapids (in process) will compile the first salary and wage data for Michigan ' s nonprofit sector. We have already referred more than a dozen other communities to �-75. Describe some other program, service or administrative system your Qroyp has started and run, that indicates YOu woyld be successful with this new endeavor. Several projects are described in #1 above. In addition, we will conduct the third annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Workshop on May 10, and the program is fully committed (program attached). Although MNF was not yet funded last spring, current MNF staff coordinated last year's Workshop, attended by nearly 1200 nonprofit professionals. 6. What level of financial assistance do you need? We request a grant of $15,000, to cover the cost of a Special Program Assistant and related phone, postage, .copying and travel, in order to accelerate the development of our communication system. For us to fulfill our mission effectively, the development of this function must occur now, quickly, rather than parallel to other maturing systems. Most of the costs of this endeavor are elready budgeted or contributed. The bulletin board itself is-. dcnated ·. by the Michigan Community College Association. The modems · (for ten "hubs" per year) are included in our Kellogg grant. The student assistants, who will maintain the information system once operational, are already lined up as volunteers and rotating interns (included in the Kellogg grant). Information from our members is contributed. Software is already purchased, and publications are budgeted. What we need is an extra pair of hands, and some technical expertise, to complete our communication system as soon as possible. BUDGET: Special Program Assistant (fulltime for six months or, more likely, a graduate student working part-time now, fulltime in summer, part-time in fall ) 2,000 Fringe ( 201.) Phone ( $200/month for six months) 510,000 long distance, Travel for 1,200 1,000 Postage, copies and supplies TOTAL 800 15,000 �-9student interns to develop procedures for their work, which will continue to support the communi~ation system beyond this special project. Spend regular periods entering timely information into the bulletin board: Public policy information, training opportunities, new management insights, etc. Incorporate writing by student interns. Where appropriate, initiate interns to the technology. Informally check the use and value of the materials with users, and compile and review suggestions with staff for improvements. Maintain the e-mail, and check on its use informally, for review and improvements. Begin travelling to "hub" communities, to orient staff, develop procedures, trouble-shoot. Begin expanding local/regional contacts and logistical information, for planning roundtables. Produce one newsletter, one Public Policy Issue, and one Scholars Update. Disseminate to a selected group, with a questionnaire for assessing its value. Months 5-6: Continue operating bulletin board and e-mail, making adjustments. Train staff and student interns to operate independently. Train staff and interns to use the desktop publishing software. Compile responses to the questionnaire, with staff for improvements. review Develop an evaluation procedure with staff to assess the short- and longterm impact of MNF ' s new communication technology. 9. Will this effort move your association towards self-sufficiency? Exolain how. and include both gualitatiye and quantitative projections.

The Michigan Ecumenical Forum, the successor body to the Michigan Council of Churches, is a nonprofit organization of the major churches and regional/local ecumenical organizations throughout the State of Michigan. As an organizational member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, the Michigan Ecumenical Forum is excited about the mission and goals of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. This excitement was particularly reinforced by the response of a meeting of the Michigan Church Leaders to a presentation on the Michigan Nonprofit Forum by Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. The excitement lay in the importance to the Michigan Ecumenical Forum and its members in receiving throughout the year cutting-edge information on the nonorofit sector and voluntarism from the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's network, as well as in having the possibility for feedback. In an age of raoid communications, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's i nfonnati on-sharing vi a a orooosed computer b'u 11 eti n board and electronic mail is -vital to our membershio in keeping abreast with the emerging issues revolving around the nonorofit sector and voluntarism.

Lewis, ex officio Michigan Nonprofit Forum -2- �PRINCIPLES OF JURISDICTION & CONSENSUS* MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE Given the wonderful diversity of the nonprofit sector, which is one of its greatest strengths, and the importance of broad consensus and a strong spirit of mutuality when addressing matters of public policy and public interest, the following principles, as articulated at the Fall 1990 initial meeting of the Board of Directors, are intended to bring focus to the work of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's Public Policy Committee: I. MATTERS OF COMMON CONCERN: The Michigan Nonprofit Forum Public Policy Committee shall address those topics of general concern to the entire nonprofit sector, which cut across and are not limited to specific subdivisions or facets of the nonprofit sector. II. POSITIONS OF MUTUAL INTEREST: The Public Policy Committee shall develop and recommend to the Board of Directors formal positions and program initiatives (in cooperation with the Program Committee) which clearly reflect the mutual interests and common concern of all segments of the nonprofit sector represented within the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, and shall not recommend formal positions when such broad consensus and mutuality of interest cannot be achieved. A. INFORMATION SHARING: The Public Policy Committee shall serve as a clearinghouse for identification and exchange of information on policy issues of concern to the nonprofit sector and activities and initiatives of the various Members of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum which are of interest to other Forum Members. B. PROGRAM INITIATIVES: The Public Policy Committee may recommend to the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Board of Directors professional development program initiatives to serve Forum Members in the area of public policy. III. UNANIMITY/CONSENSUS: The By-Laws of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (Article III, Section 7) stipulate that a unanimous vote is required for adoption of public policy positions by the Board of Directors; therefore, the Public Policy Committee as a practical matter shall operate on a principle of unanimous consensus for submitting recommendations to the Board of Directors. IV. PROCEDURAL ROLE: The role of the Public Policy Committee is to serve as a working committee for discussing and internally analyzing matters of public policy and submitting recommendations to the Board of Directors; the Public P alley Committee in itself does not have the authority to adopt or announce positions or declarations. *Adopted by Michigan Nonprofit Forum Public P alley Committee on April 4, 1991.

In February, that rate increased substantially, and current proposals could increase the rate in october by as much as another 45%. RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE BOARD OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM UNANIMOUSLY ADOPT A POSITION URGXRG FULL WORDING OF THB PRBWBRRBD BULK MAILING RATB WOR NONPROFIT ORGARIZATIONS. FURTHER, THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE AUTHORIZED TO CONVEY .THIS POSITION TO THE MICHIGAN CONGRESSIONAL 'DELEGATION AND MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, AND TO NOTIFY MNF TRUSTEES AND OTHER ·NONPROFIT LEADERS THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN. Rationale: In order to maintain the rate at post-February levels, Congress must earmark $649 million specifically for this purpose. Unless congress appropriates full funding in the next few weeks, the nation's nonprofit sector will face a significant handicap in the challenging years ahead. Both the House and Senate budget committees have recommended reduced funding. In the next week or so, their recommendations will go to a Conference Committee that has yet to be appointed after which allocation decisions will be made by Congress. Time is limited, but the decision has such far-reaching implications that it deserves our deliberate participation. �RECOMMENDED POSITION PAPER ON FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM Background Historically, Congress has provided in the Internal Revenue Code for the full deductibility from income taxes of charitable contributions to recognized nonprofit organizations holding Federal 501( c) tax-exempt status and organized and operated for religious, charitable, sdentific, educational and certain other purposes. For many years, that full deductibility of charitable contributions has been available to taxpayers filing Schedule A as part of the long-form tax filing. In 1981, the Congress established a new "non-itemizer 11 charitable contribution deduction of up to $100 for persons who file the short form and do not utilize Schedule A. Regrettably, the non-itemizer deduction was repealed in 1986. Then in 1990, the Congress established a floor or threshhald of 3% of income to be subtracted from Schedule A deductions (including charitable contributions) before recognizing them for tax purposes, for persons filing individual returns with income above $100,000 and for joint filers reporting income above $150,000. This new threshhold provision in the Internal Revenue Code will "sunset" or expire in 1996 unless it is renewed by the Congress. RECOMMENDED MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM POSITION THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS NOT TO RENEW (AND CERTAINLY NOT TO INCREASE) THE 3% FLOOR OR SUBTRACTION FROM SCHEDULE A DEDUCTIONS (INCLUDING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS) FROM TAXPAYERS WITH HIGHER INCOMES, BECAUSE SUCH A FLOOR IS A PHILOSOPHICAL AND PRACTICAL DISCOURAGEMENT TO CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH ARE SO CRITICAL TO THE ABILITY OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO PERFORM SERVICES WHICH ARE SO VITAL TO THE HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE OF THE NATION, PARTICULARLY THOSE OF MODEST MEANS OR FROM DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS, AND WHICH ENORMOUSLY REDUCE THE DEMANDS AND BURDENS ON GOVERNMENT; AND FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS TO RESTORE THE NON-ITEMIZER CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FURTHER FOSTER THE SERVICES CITED ABOVE AND TO ENCOURAGE TAXPAYERS OF MODEST MEANS TO CONTRIBUTE; AND FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE AUTHORIZED TO COMMUNICATE THESE POSITIONS AND CONCERNS AS APPROPRIATE. �-2Rationale Generous charitable g1vmg and the eleemosynary spirit and hallmarks of our American society are absolutely essential to the ability of the nonprofit sector to serve so substantially the general welfare, health, education and cultural vitality of our pluralistic nation. Enlightened tax policies which recognize and encourage charitable contributions to qualifying nonprofit organizations are critically important, and have long been recognized in American law. Both the repeal of the non-itemizer deduction (granted by a recent innovation in tax policy) and the imposition of a 3\ floor on Schedule A deductions for higher income taxpayers are distressing erosions in such enlightened tax policy toward the nonprofit sector. The continuation beyond its "sunset" date and any increase in the 3\ threshhold would constitute a very serious and damaging discouragement and depression in charitable giving. Congress should be reminded of this regularly between now and the sunset date.

The proposals threaten to erode financial support for nonprofit organizations, create onerous administrative and valuation burdens and distort the financial picture of nonprofit corporations. These proposed FASB standard chanqes would: 1.) Require nonprofit orqanizations to count pledqes as actual revenues (rather than the general practice by nonprofit& currently of recordinq pledqes at the time the cash payment is received); 2.) Require nonprofits to record as revenue the value of all contributions of works of art or other items of historical siqnificance and to appraise virtually all such items in order to do so; and 3.) Require the value of services contributed to nonprofit orqanizations to be recorded as current revenues. Responses to and comments on these proposed changes are beinq souqht by the Financial Accountinq Standards Board before it renders a final decision. RECOMMENQED MICBIGAH NOHPRQFIT FORUM POSITION THAT THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OP THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A FORMAL POSITION EMPHATICALLY OPPOSING THE PROPOSED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD'S CHANGES TO REQUIRE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO RECORD AS CURRENT REVENUES PLEDGES OF CONTRIBUTIONS, CONTRIBUTED WORKS OF ART AND ITEMS OP HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, AND CONTRIBUTED SERVICES, WHICH WOULD DISTORT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CREATE ONEROUS ADMINISTRATIVE AND APPRAISAL BURDENS, IMPOSE MISLEADING AND INACCURATE ASSUMPTIONS, AND POTENTIALLY ERODE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE NONPROFIT SECTOR; AND FURTHER, THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE ASKED TO CONVEY THIS POSITION TO THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. �RATIONALE 1.) The FASB standard to require accrual recordinq of pledqes as current revenues would force nonprofit orqanizations to abandon the current practice qenerally of recordinq pledqes at the time the cash payment is received. The proposed standard fails to recoqnize that 100' of pledqes do not always translate into actual revenues. The line between a firm pledqe and a statement of intent is not always clear. Thouqh there have been some court decisions supportinq leqal enforcement of pledqes, it is ridiculous to imply that nonprofit& would or could qo to court to enforce pledqes. To do so would alienate donors and depress the willinqness of people to pledqe. And to count pledqes as revenues distorts the financial statements, showinq a hiqher level of income than is accurate or realistic. · 2.) Requirinq donated art and historical works to be appraised and recorded as revenues would be an unreasonable and unnecessarily costly imposition. Such qifts are rarely assets which could be sold at their appraised value to produce revenues, if the donor desired to do so. And since donors qive out of a desire to support a charitable cause rather than on the financial strenqth or statements of the orqanization, the request is simply unnecessary. 3.) To record contributed services as revenues would create an administrative niqhtmare, forcinq major new systems to track such services and methods of valuinq them. And philosophically, it desecrates or trivializes the spirit of voluntarism which is at the heart of the nonprofit sector, translatinq it from somethinq which is unique to just another thinq with a price taq attached to it. �MICIDGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, :MICHIGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/353-1872 1991 Program Committee Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar III William s.

Annual Prof:ress Report ~ W. K. KellOf:f: Foundation (Covering the 13-month period from June 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991) I. Introduction In May 1990, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a three-year grant to the United Way of Michigan for implementation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum-- an alliance of organizations and individuals to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in Michigan. Previously MNF had operated since August 1988 as an informal alliance, which then developed collaborative plans for a staffed entity to serve a sector-wide mission: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Beginning on June 1, 1990 --initially supported by this grant and by additional funds from the founding organizations-- MNF was established under the direction of a Steering Committee composed of board leadership (volunteers) and executives (staff) of ten founding organizations (quickly expanded to sixteen statewide associations and organizations, and five at-large members-- list appended). This first annual Progress Report reviews the original vision of the founders and how that vision has taken shape in Michigan's rapidly evolving context. II. Summary of Proposed Project Creation of the Staffed Alliance. The newly-staffed Michigan Nonprofit Forum was created as a special kind of organization with a unique structure. It was not intended to be a free-standing organization, fully self-sufficient and independent of its members. Instead, the original design recognized Michigan's rich landscape of well-established and emerging networks serving nonprofit issues. Rather than create another competitor in a time of scarce resources, the founders sought to create a mechanism for finding common ground -- shared concerns, mutual opportunities, and collective "blind spots -- and for mobilizing joint action. They reasoned that: �"Within Michigan's nonprofit sector, many associations already exist to serve particular fields, such as health, human services, and education. Much like a chamber of commerce or a trade association, these constituency-controlled associations serve the needs of their members through advocacy (to impact tax laws and public policy), joint purchasing to achieve economies of scale, information dissemination, and/or training and technical assistance. Even so, many-- possibly most- nonprofits in Michigan, particularly medium and small agencies, are not reached by these services and operate in relative isolation. "Further, even these existing associations of nonprofits do not often work cooperatively and have no formal mechanism for planning together with the closelyallied communities of funders and government agencies. Instead, fragmentation within the sector, and lack of a comprehensively-informed public, hamper constructive development. " ... [T]he Michigan Nonprofit Forum will, for the frrst time, create a statewide mechanism for dialog, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. . .. The activities of the Forum will address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary functions but as public ~oods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource and organizational development, informed public discussion and policy-development, and dependable support. " ... Toward that end, the MNF will promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, for-profit and public) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan." (1990 Proposal to the Kellogg Foundation, pp. 2-3) As originally conceived, MNF would operate with minimal staff (an executive and a secretary) and maximum participation by organizations and individuals on issues of shared concern. Mission Areas and Proposed Activities. Within MNF' s broad mission, the founders included four broad areas for collaborative action: 1. To promote public awareness and understanding of Michigan's nonprofit sector: what it is, how it functions, and what part it plays in communities and the state. 2. To promote the effectiveness of the sector. 3. To advance the cause of voluntarism in the state. 4. To advance the cause of philanthropy in the state. 2 �The founders' deliberations recognized that a wide array of activities were already underway in Michigan to serve these broad goals, and that MNF would be "the new kid on the block," seeking to build bridges, identify common ground and overcome turf issues through mutual benefit. The founders also recognized that new and overlooked viewpoints must be included in the dialog to achieve new insight and effective action. To accomplish its mission, MNF would undertake activities in these areas: (A) Dialogue: "The Forum will regularly convene discussions among sector leaders and stakeholders on key and emerging issues . . . [to] serve both as a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. Further, through cooperation with existing networks, ... the Forum will promote dialogue throughout all levels of the sector, in order to raise the quality and extent of local discussion and informed action in the state as a whole." (B) Infonnation Sharine and Research: "The Forum will compile and disseminate current information and insights ... [and] serve as a responsive clearinghouse of information on the sector -- including an interactive computer network with hubs across the state -- ... raising awareness and understanding of emerging issues. . .. The Forum will also work to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars ... [to] promote collaborative analysis and broader reporting on the role, diversity, capacity and impact of the nonprofit sector in Michigan." (C) Public Policy Infonnation: "In addition to its broader informationsharing function, the MNF will have a particular emphasis on stimulating greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that effect the sector as a whole. . .. [T]he MNF will become a hub for gathering and disseminating critical information on sector-wide issues of common concern, and for promoting broader dialogue and understanding. " (D) Capacity-Buildine: "[T]hrough its member organizations and others throughout the state, MNF will identify existing in-state resources for technical assistance and for education in philanthropy and voluntarism, as well as existing areas of need and interest in the state ... [in order to] increase awareness of [existing] resources and serve as a catalyst for collaborative planning and action [for unmet needs and underserved regions]." (E) Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: "As a centerpiece for its work, MNF will ... bring the sector's stakeholders together for day long presentations and discussions .... " (1990 Proposal, pp. 4-5) In its first year, MNF would make progress in each of these areas, as part of an overall strategy to create the alliance by demonstrating its worth. define it by principled experience and example. then recruit from its success. 3 �ill. FirSt-Year Proems In its first year, the MNF board has successfully created a working organization to serve its shared agenda. Under the board's leadership and with the support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, MNF conducted programs and created an operating framework of broad-based input and deliberations. From this strong beginning, MNF is already preparing to take on some of the largest, most complex issues facing the sector in its second year. A. Dialowe. MNF founders sought to create a mechanism for achieving shared understandings and collaborative action across Michigan's nonprofit sector. In MNF' s original design, dialogue was both a goal in itself, and also a means for refining MNF's continuing mission and timely objectives. In its first year, MNF successfully convened key leaders and conducted action-oriented discussions on a wide range of topics, testing out the strategy's viability and usefulness in a variety of settings. To begin, MNF's first board meeting was structured as a forum, with representative small groups (each a cross-section of the sector) identifying top priority issues facing the sector. MNF's thirty-seven Trustees, consisting of voluntary and professional leadership from across the sector, thus defmed MNF's first action framework (appended). In the months that followed, many of those action plans were implemented. In particular, the issue of voluntarism became an organizing theme for a series of forums leading to a statewide Campaign for Voluntarism (to begin at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV on April24, 1992). Three forums were held (December 20, March 18 and April 11), bringing together leaders from thirty-seven statewide organizations involved with voluntarism (roster appended). As a result, a comprehensive Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism has been designed, with commitments by each of the participating organizations to conduct related activities (design appended). In addition, an article was produced by one participating organization, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and distributed to its 37,000 subscribers statewide. Other dissemination plans are being developed by several others, including the Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators, the Michigan School Volunteer Programs, the Michigan Society of Association Executives. and the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition, MNF conducted two public policy meetings (Apri14, April 26), bringing together nonprofit and civic leaders in MNF's Public Policy Committee to discuss pressing public policy issues affecting the sector. These discussions resulted in a framework for collective deliberation, an agenda of top priority issues for further exploration, and three position statements on critical issues, subsequently adopted by the MNF board (discussed further in section C below). The 1990-91 planning committee for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar also produced cross-sector dialogue and insight. The GGS Planning Committee was structured to convene funders and fundseekers from diverse fields, to plan a statewide conference to benefit the nonprofit community as a whole. As a result of these planning meetings (August 7, October 2 and February 11), committee leadership recognized that this committee -- in 4 �addition to producing the annual GGS Seminar -- itself exemplifies the Forum's mission and represents a continuing opportunity to build alliances and achieve mutual understanding on difficult issues. The 1991-92 Committee has been structured with this in mind: that it represents a special kind of forum and a continuing opportunity to advance the field. MNF also conducted several smaller, more specialized or localized forums, consistent with its original design. For example, because of interest in MNF's work on voluntarism, a group of nonprofit leaders in Big Rapids convened a group of 13 professionals to meet with MNF staff, to explore ways to participate in the statewide initiative to start new Voluntary Action Centers (VACs). Similar meetings were held in Holland, Adrian, Traverse City, Muskegon, and two in Alma. These local planning efforts are self-sustaining, assisted by the new state network, Volunteer Centers of Michigan. MNF also conducted local discussions as part of five workshops in June (in Jackson, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Traverse City) co-sponsored with the Foundation for American Communications, on media relations for nonprofits. MNF led luncheon discussions among the 50 to 80 participants, focussing on critical issues, perceived needs, and potential follow-up activities. Based on those discussions, plans are now being developed for self-sustaining networks of nonprofit communicators. In late spring, MNF joined with the Council of Michigan Foundations and other partners to produce a series of three planning meetings for a statewide Youth Service Michigan plan. MNF had initiated related discussions among educators and MNF trustees in the late fall and winter, in response to the National and Community Service Act passed by Congress in October 1990. Others also recognized this important opportunity for Michigan, so a natural alliance was created in the spring to produce a plan to position Michigan for the national competition for funding. MNF' s major contribution was enlisting its Organizational Members in the planning process, and alerting its networks including nearly 3,000 professionals and citizens, who responded enthusiastically to the opportunity to participate in the planning process (primarily through letters and calls). The three planning forums involved nearly 100 Michigan leaders in the formal planning process. Resulting recommendations are now before the Governor, who is forming a Governor's Commission on Youth Service Michigan to complete and submit the plan to Washington for potential funding. B. Infonnation Sharing. MNF founders also sought to create a hub for the exchange of information on the sector. The original design included (1) creation of a distribution system -- through existing networks as well as new avenues -- to circulate information on critical issues relating to the four mission areas; (2) a responsive "clearinghouse" function on timely issues; (3) stimulation and then dissemination of new research on the sector in Michigan; and (4) creation of a computerized bulletin board, to make information easily accessible across the state. In its first year, MNF made significant progress in all four areas. B-1: Distribution System. In the course of the year, MNF has identified 296 network organizations (in addition to Organizational Members) which relate to the nonprofit 5 �sector. These range widely from Volunteer Centers which serve individual communities of nonprofits, to statewide organizations like the Michigan Orchestra Association. In some cases, these networks publish information received from MNF in their newsletters; in others, the organizations have included our information in other communications with members. In addition, MNF has compiled a growing database of over 4200 nonprofits and related organizations, segmented so that mailings can be carefully targeted to particular audiences. (We anticipate that the database will double in 1991-92, based on lists now identified.) For example, four mailings reported on the work of MNF's Michigan Volunteer Coalition and plans for Youth Service Michigan - targeted to youth-serving and educational organizations, as well as to organizations that could serve as strong partners in comprehensive youth community service designs, such as United Ways and Urban Leagues (copy of the 6/18 letter attached). Smaller mailings reported regionally on training opportunities, such as the low-cost workshop on "Nonprofit Corporations and the Law" conducted by the Howell Chamber of Commerce Oetter attached). Copies of useful research were distributed, primarily to MNF Organizational Members for their use and distribution (cover letter for the impact survey of state budget cutbacks on the arts attached). Plans for 1991-92 include formalizing these communication systems into newsletters and Issue Papers, mailed to those who join as subscribers and members as well as those in strategic networks. Plans also include shifting most (not all) dissemination to the Computer Bulletin Board as this becomes feasible (discussed below). B-2: Clearinghouse Function. As MNF has become more widely known, calls have increased requesting a wide range of information. In some cases, calls relate to MNF mailings -- for example, scores of calls resulted from the mailings on the Youth Service Michigan plan. Others fall in these general categories: media inquiries, requests for demographic information on the sector, requests which result in referrals to specific nonprofit agencies, requests for funding information or technical assistance, and general requests concerning employment in the sector. With the assistance of our evaluation advisors, we have designed a form to capture details of these requests, to track the growth and usefulness of this function. Plans also include creation of various Information Sheets responding to common inquiries. During the first eight months, MNF staff made presentations to groups throughout the state, such as to the regional meetings of the Michigan Association of School Boards and the United Way of Michigan, and to statewide meetings of the Michigan Association of School Administrators and denominational leaders convened by the Michigan Ecumenical Forum. More recently, presentations have been made to non-board organizations, such as the Flint association of volunteer administrators, the state association of animal advocates, the Michigan Campus Compact, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Accounting Aid Society, the Calhoun County elected officials (convened by their state legislator), the American Association of University Women, and the Social Science Research Bureau conference on "Privatization of Public Services." 6 �MNF staff also have increasingly been identified as resources for sharing information and for assisting access to statewide networks -- for example, to assist the "Funding Fundraising" initiative by the National Society of Fundraising Executives, and the "Into the Streets" initiative for college student community service, conducted by the Campus Outreach Opportunity League. Also, the MNF Executive Director now serves as a member of the Policy Board of the Social Science Research Bureau. This kind of information dissemination also can serve as a catalyst for innovation or change. For example, as part of its efforts to assist the promotion of volunteering statewide, MNF reached out to networks of organizations (such as United Ways, Chambers of Commerce, and Cooperative Extension offices) in communities that lacked volunteer centers. As a result, 15 communities have been identified that show interest in starting up volunteer centers, including several communities (such as Big Rapids, Cadillac and Three Rivers) which were stimulated by MNF's inquiry. These communities have now been drawn into the loop of assistance that can be provided by strong, experienced Volunteer Centers through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. Similarly, MNF has helped to spread interest in youth community service programs through its mailings. In the coming year, we will explore how best to be of assistance to this movement -- such as convening roundtables to consider curriculum innovations that incorporate community service, for possible wider implementation. Currently, MNF's database includes 1,324 persons whose work relates to youth or young adult community serv1ce. B-3: Research. MNF convened two scholars roundtables (one at Calvin College and one at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar), to identify interest and promote greater attention to nonprofit research questions. Mailings continue to keep contact with interested scholars, and plans are underway to co-sponsor annual or semi-annual roundtables with the Nonprofit Michigan Project at Michigan State University. In addition, MNF has served in an advisory role to several colleges considering or developing academic programs on the nonprofit sector, including Michigan State University (the MNF Executive Director is a member of their Third Sector Planning Committee), Grand Valley State University, and Calvin College. MNF staff also work closely with the Nonprofit Michigan Project, which will share a student intern in 1991-92. Plans for 1991-92 include developing MNF's ability to serve as a utility for scholars and nonprofit professionals, by (a) disseminating research insights, (b) communicating practitioners' concerns in the form of valid research questions, and (c) providing access to sectorwide data collection for scholars. This will be discussed at the Scholars Roundtables as well as in MNF's policy and program committees. B-4: Computer Bulletin Board. As committed in the proposal, a Computer Bulletin Board has been created within the Michigan Community College Association's system. However, the work of making that system functional and actually used by the nonprofit community still remains. 7 �The original plan called for "hubs" around the state, which would receive MNF information for further, local dissemination, and which would relay local information for statewide dissemination. This has, in fact, been the MNF operating design, using the mail and telephone. However, the leap to a computer network has been delayed, for several reasons: -- Few nonprofits are in the habit of using computer systems for communications, in contrast to word processing or data manipulation. --Although the concept of serving as a "hub" has been discussed with several networks, actual translation of that general idea into practice will require close working relationships and experimentation, including significant staff time. -- The collection of quantities of timely information represents a logistical problem that is only beginning to be addressed. It will take both numerous interns and many willing nonprofit professionals. This is a challenge that still lies ahead. When this problem frrst became apparent early in 1991, MNF submitted a proposal to the Union Institute for a small grant for a temporary staff person to address it (attached). The grant was not approved, so the problem of staff time remains the primary obstacle. C. Public Policy Infonnation. The MNF founders saw a special opportunity for MNF in the area of public policy. On cross-sector issues, areas of common concern to all parts of the nonprofit sector, they proposed to create a mechanism for achieving common understandings and developing action strategies. In its frrst year, MNF initiated sector-wide consideration of public policy issues and made important contributions to the state and national debate. For example, the overarching theme of the Public Policy Committee meetings was that lack of public understanding -- both of legislators and the voters -- about What is the nonprofit sector, Why do we have it, What does it do, How does it fit into the puzzle of government and private sector services, and Why is it worthy of our continued support? As a result, two major recommendations of the Public Policy Committee have resulted in progress toward a MNF White Paper on the nonprofit sector, and the first of a possible series of taped Summits on the issues, bringing together leaders from government, business and the nonprofit sector (committee roster appended). In addition, the Public Policy Committee deliberated on several critical policy issues, resulting in three Position Statements (later approved by the Board of Trustees) concerning: (1) the proposed increase in the nonprofit postal rate; (2) erosion of the charitable tax deduction at the federal level; and (3) the new accounting standards proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (attached). As a result, MNF alerted network agencies throughout the state, as well as key legislators and agencies at the state and national levels. 8 �In 1991-92, MNF will formalize this information exchange, by identifying a network of contacts at each Organizational Member and network agency, and by producing Public Policy Alerts/Updates on an irregular basis. A column in the newsletter will be devoted to these issues as well. In addition, the Public Policy Committee meetings, which represent cross-sector gatherings of concerned leaders, will be developed further as informational forums, possibly with outside speakers/resource persons on tough issues. D. Capacity-Buildin&. MNF founders did not originally intend to create a large, staffed organization that would provide extensive direct training and assistance to nonprofit organizations. Instead, MNF would identify existing opportunities for professional development and assistance, and serve as an information clearinghouse, a catalyst for expanded assistance, and a mechanism for joint planning. In its first year, MNF established itself as an information resource and as a vehicle for collaboration to improve the capacity of the sector. MNF contacted universities and groups currently providing training, as well as colleges considering programs to serve the nonprofit sector. In this work, MNF was guided by the statewide survey completed by the Council of Michigan Foundations through its Improving Philanthropy Project, which identified educational programs in philanthropy currently being conducted in Michigan colleges and universities. MNF currently has identified 135 researchers and 125 educators interested in the nonprofit sector as a field of study. As a result, MNF has collaborated with several providers -- such as the Accounting Aid Society and Michigan State University-- in the design and implementation of training programs, and plans are under discussion for more. MNF has also disseminated information on training opportunities, although this function awaits the completion of the computer bulletin board for full development. MNF collected information on needs from GGS participants in 1990 and 1991, and other needs assessments from around the state are being gathered (soon on a systematic basis, using a student intern). In the coming year, this information will form the basis of a Providers Roundtable (hopefully an ongoing planning network), so that nonprofits can receive quality assistance regardless of geographic location. In addition, MNF has been working with the Accounting Aid Society to update its catalog of professionals providing technical services to nonprofits. With the help of a student intern this fall and winter, the updated text should be available by spring. MNF has also advised several communities on conferences and workshops for nonprofits, such as the Jackson Community Foundation and the School of Public Administration at Grand Valley State University. Because it represents a nexus of information, MNF can usually provide names of experts in a wide range of fields. This seems to be a useful service, so plans are underway to compile lists for easy reference on a variety of topics. 9 �E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar. With considerable growth over three years, the 1991 GG Seminar was conducted on May 10, 1991 and attended by 1,260 professionals: Health & Human Services NSFRE Higher Education K-12 Arts Priv/Comm/Corp Funders Religion Government United Ways Other 40% 21% 11% 8% 8% 6% 5% 4% 1% 13% GGill established MNF as the sponsor of this event (previously sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations), and gave MNF high visibility-- even providing the debut for the MNF videotape, shown at the Speakers Dinner on May 9 and at the luncheon on May 10. Participants gave the entire program high ratings, even finding GGill less impersonal that the smaller GGII! (committee roster and program attached) The GG Seminar is much more than a free-standing event. It represents a major opportunity-- both through its planning process and at the event itself-- to advance MNF's mission of achieving a cohesive community of stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Seminar can draw from and build on MNF's work throughout the year; the Seminar can also inform MNF's mission in the subsequent year. Thus MNF's sponsorship represents a special challenge to the Planning Committee for GGIV, scheduled for April24, 1992. F. Start-up Functions. In addition to the five activity areas described above, a major challenge for MNF's leaders was to create an operating alliance, capable of executing collaborative activities through networks, with minimal MNF staff. In its first year, all the major organizational components have been developed, and the organization is fully operational ((501(c)(3) authorization still pending). F-1: Governance: Because of its unique collaborative structure and purposes, MNF' s governance was a special challenge. MNF Steering Committee members formed a task force in July to formulate by-laws-- adopted in October and amended in May-- that define a governing board and expanded membership, as well as inclusive committees which draw widely from Michigan's nonprofit sector to define current programs and future directions. The goal of the founding members was to keep the governing board small enough for effective deliberations, yet to keep MNF's leading edges-- its program and policy committees -- as broadly inclusive as possible. They accomplished this FIRST by limiting board membership to no more than 20 statewide networks of nonprofits (such as the United Way of Michigan and the Michigan League for Human Services), plus 5 smaller or more 10 �specialized networks of nonprofits (such as the Michigan Orchestra Association or the Flint Council of Churches), plus 5 At-Large Members with statewide prominence in the nonprofit sector. The governing board is explicitly designed to bring diverse voices to the table, representing as broad and rich a cross-section of Michigan's nonprofit sector as possible. SECOND, the founding members defmed MNF's operating committees as inclusive-that is, those committees explicitly seek diverse representation from interested stakeholders across the state. The Program Committee, Public Policy Committee and Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee are examples. F-2: F.stablishine an Office and Staff: Although it serves as an alliance, MNF must also operate as a well-managed and accountable organization. For this purpose, the Steering Committee engaged an Acting Executive Director on June 1, 1990, who established an office under the auspices of the United Way of Michigan. After an extensive search, MNF leaders hired Maryellen Lewis as Executive Director on November 1, 1990, who hired an Administrative Secretary. Based on the experience of the first year, on May 9, 1991 MNF leaders approved the creation of an administrative assistant position for Year 2 (after discussion with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation). F-3: Student Internships: MNF has engaged its first two student interns this fall. Previously, both space and staff time represented unresolved obstacles to adding student interns to the office operations. During its first seven months, MNF operated out of a single office with two desks, contributed by the United Way of Michigan. In January, MNF moved into temporary space in the Kellogg Center at Michigan State University, at first with only a two and then a three month agreement. At that time, staff took on several new responsibilities, including bookkeeping, accounting, purchasing and other financial management services previously provided by the United Way of Michigan. So until recently, the recruitment, deployment and supervision of student interns remained undeveloped. Nonetheless, MNF developed relationships with several colleges, including Michigan State University, Lansing Community College and Cooley Law School, which will result in both volunteer and paid student internships in 1991-92. Job descriptions for student projects have already been drafted, and plans for supervision are being outlined. Two student interns begin on October 1, 1991. F-4: Evaluation. The MNF executive has been working with three evaluation advisors from Michigan State University: Dr. Christopher Clark, chairman of educational administration, Dr. Frank Fear, chairman of community development, and Dr. Mary Andrews, associate dean of human ecology. Based on their advice, preliminary systems have been developed to track MNF operations, and a process evaluation plan is being developed by Dr. Clark. On their advice, a graduate student was sought to work with them but were unsuccessful last spring. Since no funds were expended on evaluation in 1990-91 and rollover of all funds has been approved, a major evaluation design will be possible in 1991-92. 11 �IV. Future Plans - Year 2 As part of its planning for the fall meeting of the Trustees, the MNF Executive Committee will review and set priorities for 1991-92 (and set the stage for 1992-93) at its October 8 meeting. For this purpose, a preliminary list of goals was distributed for review at the August 6 Executive Committee meeting, including these: Promms to Develop 1. Strengthen MNF's capacity to respond and even take leadership on public policy issues (such as liability issues). 2. Continue the Grantmakers/Grantseekers series, incorporating it as an integral part of MNF' s ongoing work. 3. Begin a series of fonnal MNF-sponsored Summits/Public Policy Forums on critical issues (one or two per year). 4. Kick off the Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism. 5. Lay groundwork for a statewide "Give 5" campaign, sequenced to begin Spring 1993 (perhaps at Grantmakers/Grantseekers V), in cooperation with the Council of Michigan Foundations and the United Way of Michigan, and others. 6. In cooperation with MSU' s Nonprofit Michigan Project, conduct an annual/semi-annual Scholars Roundtable and disseminate research on the nonprofit sector as tools for practitioners. 7. Assist better communication among providers of training and technical assistance to nonprofits, for joint planning and more comprehensive services to all regions. 8. Fonnalize MNF publications and dissemination networks. 9. Implement the Computer Bulletin Board. Services to Develop 1. Increase capacity to collect and share infonnation. 2. Increase capacity to convene stakeholders for dialogue and collaboration. 3. Produce "Issue Papers," such as the White Paper proposed by the Public Policy Committee. Administrative Goals 1. Develop membership base and services. 2. Implement Finance Committee's design for alternative funding sources, beginning in the second year (appended). 3. Increase involvement of student interns. 4. Implement the formal evaluation, and incorporate into Board planning process. V. Dissemination In its first year, MNF shared infonnation about its work through several national networks. As a member of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, MNF 12 �communicates with existing and emerging state associations of nonprofits, at conferences and through the mail and phone. As a member of the Independent Sector, MNF has access to a much larger network of stakeholders, and has participated in the national dialogue at conferences and regular telephone communication (particularly about pressing national public policy issues such as the postal rate). MNF has also participated in the national "Into the Streets" initiative for college student community service, and continues to communicate with individuals from other regions about college/nonprofit agency partnerships. Outside of Michigan, several aspects of MNF's experience have gained attention and may be useful elsewhere. For example, the Michigan alliance appears to be unique in at least three ways: -- MNF includes funders as partners -- MNF includes educators as partners -- MNF includes religious organizations as partners Plans for sharing this kind of information remain informal, in much the same way as other states share information with us. This seems to be the most appropriate and effective means of dissemination at the moment. Eventually, articles will be prepared for publication, but perhaps not during the second year. 13 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ivory, Finance Committee Chairman Subject: Date: Proposed Budget Changes using 1990-91 Surpluses May 1, 1991 Based on the recommendations of the 4/23 Finance Committee meeting, our Executive Director spoke with Joel Orosz (our Kellogg Program Officer) about budget changes utilizing some of our budget surpluses from the first grant year. Based on those discussions and the Committee's further deliberations on May 1, the MNF Finance Committee unanimously recommends the changes outlined below, using 1990-91 surpluses. Please Note: We now have preliminary approval to rollover our program funding surpluses into programs for the second year. The following proposed budget changes leave those program surpluses intact, and draw only from personnel and administrative surpluses, while still leaving comfortable surpluses in every line item. I. Creation of a New 1991-92 Staff Position from 1990-91 Personnel Budget Surpluses We have preliminary approval from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to use most of the personnel budget surpluses for a new staff position in the second year: Administrative Assistant (salary range: $24,000 to 28,000, plus 20% fringe benefits). That position is built into the Core Budget and the proposed membership income, so it will be covered by new income in years 3 and thereafter. RATIONALE: In the first six start-up months, a complete staff of two was entirely adequate. Now, however, t hat all MNF committees are operating, and now that field contacts are increasingly important, a third pair of hands is critical for basic operations. This position will become ever more important as we expand our internships and program-related staff. �Responsibilities of this person will include: coordinating meetings and managing conferences, providing staff support to committees, supervising students interns, managing memberships, producing the newsletter, managing office staff, and other duties under the direction of the Executive Director. The MNF Finance Committee unanimously recommends approval of the creation of this new staff position, authorizinq the Executive Director to fill the position at the beqinninq of the second qrant year (June 1991). II. Funding for additional Computer Technology, including a small Local Area Network CLAN) and software We also have preliminary approval from the Kellogg Foundation to transfer up to $11,500 from administrative surpluses (rent, postage, phone, copying, printing) to expand MNF's office technology, in order to accommodate the new staff member and anticipated program needs during the next few years. {A comfortable surplus will still be left in each line item.) RATIONALE: According to Joel Orosz, the Kellogg Foundation's intent is to support the start-up of the Forum, including preparing MNF for the years ahead. That includes investing in systems that will last and grow with MNF, rather than (as he put it) "cobbling together enough to get by." With the new staff member, MNF will need one additional computer. One computer has already reached memory capacity, and both current computers must be upgraded to handle desktop publishing software. With added interns and any program-related staff, MNF's needs will grow. Witn advice from Joel Orosz and other Kellogg Foundation staff, our Executive Director is exploring ways to expand MNF's computer capacity in light on long-range needs, including "networking" current and one additional computers and adding related software. In addition, at Kellogg's suggestion, she is looking into the purchase of a laptop computer for use in the field. The MNF Finance Committee unanimously recommends approval of this budqet chanqe transferrinq up to $11,500 from 1990-91 surpluses to the "Furniture/Equipment" cateqory, for use in upqradinq MNF's computer systems and related office technoloqy. ref: I.1 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The proposals threaten to erode financial support for nonprofit organizations, create onerous administrative and valuation burdens and distort the financial picture of nonprofit corporations. These proposed FASB standard changes would: 1.) Require nonprofit organizations to count pledges as actual revenues (rather than the general practice by nonprofits currently of recording pledges at the time the cash payment is received); 2.) Require nonprofits to record as revenue the value of all contributions of works of art or other items of historical significance and to appraise virtually all such items in order to do so; and 3.) Require the value of services contributed to nonprofit organizations to be recorded as current revenues. Responses to and comments on these proposed changes are being sought by the Financial Accounting Standards Board before it renders a final decision. RECOMMENDED MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM POSITION THAT THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A FORMAL POSITION EMPHATICALLY OPPOSING THE PROPOSED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD'S CHANGES TO REQUIRE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO RECORD AS CURRENT REVENUES PLEDGES OF CONTRIBUTIONS, CONTRIBUTED WORKS OF ART AND ITEMS OF HISTORIClL SIGNIFICANCE, AND CONTRIBUTED SERVICES, WHICH WOULD DISTORT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CREATE ONEROUS ADMINISTRATIVE AND APPRAISAL BURDENS, IMPOSE MISLEADING AND INACCURATE ASSUMPTIONS, AND POTENTIALLY ERODE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE NONPROFIT SECTOR; AND FURTHER, THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE ASKED TO CONVEY THIS POSITION TO THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. �RATIONALE 1.) The FASB standard to require accrual recording of pledges as current revenues would force nonprofit organizations to abandon the current practice generally of recording pledges at the time the cash payment is received. The proposed standard fails to recognize that 100\ of pledges do not always translate into actual revenues. The line between a firm pledge and a statement of intent is not always clear. Though there have been some court decisions supporting legal enforcement of pledges, it is ridiculous to imply that nonprofits would or could go to court to enforce pledges. To do so would alienate donors and depress the willingness of people to pledge. And to count pledges as revenues distorts the financial statements, showing a higher level of income than is accurate or realistic. 2.) Requiring donated art and historical works to be appraised and recorded as revenues would be an unreasonable and unnecessarily costly imposition. such gifts are rarely assets which could be sold at their appraised value to produce revenues, if the donor desired to do so. And since donors give out of a desire to support a charitable cause rather than on the financial strength or statements of the organization, the request is simply unnecessary. 3.) To record contributed services as revenues would create an administrative nightmare, forcing major new systems to track such services and methods of valuing them. And philosophically, it desecrates or trivializes the spirit of voluntarism which is at the heart of the nonprofit sector, translating it from something which is unique to just another thing with a price tag attached to it. �RECOMMENDED POSITION PAPER ON FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM Background Historically, Congress has provided in the Internal Revenue Code for the full deductibility from income taxes of charitable contributions to recognized nonprofit organizations holding Federal 501 (c) tax-exempt status and organized and operated for religious, charitable, scientific, educational and certain other purposes. For many years, that full deductibility of charitable contributions has been available to taxpayers filing Schedule A as part of the long-form tax filing. In 1981, the Congress established a new "non-itemizer" charitable contribution deduction of up to $100 for persons who file the short form and do not utilize Schedule A ~ Regrettably, the non-itemizer deducti on was repealed in 1986. Then in 1990, the Congress established a floor or threshhold of 3% of i ncome to be subtracted from Schedule A deductions (including charitable contributions) before recognizing them for tax purposes, for persons filing individual returns with income above $100,000 and for joint filers reporting income above $150,000. This new threshhold provision in the Internal Revenue Code will "sunset" or expire in 1996 unless it is renewed by the Congress. RECOMMENDED MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM POSITION T HE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS NOT TO RENEW (AND CERTAINLY NOT TO INCREASE) THE 3% FLOOR OR SUBTRACTION FROM SCHEDULE A DEDUCTIONS (INCLUDING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS) FROM TAXPAYERS WITH HIGHER INCOMES, BECAUSE SUCH A FLOOR IS A PHILOSOPHICAL AND PRACTICAL DISCOURAGEMENT TO CHARITABLE CON T RIBUTIONS WHICH ARE SO CRITICAL TO THE ABILITY OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO PERFORM SERVICES WHICH ARE SO VITAL TO THE HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE OF THE NATION, PARTICULARLY THOSE OF MODEST MEANS OR FROM DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS, AND WHICH ENORMOUSLY REDUCE THE DEMANDS AND BURDENS ON GOVERNMENT; AND FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS TO RESTORE T HE NON-ITEMIZER CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FURTHER FOSTER THE SERVICES CITED ABOVE AND TO ENCOURAGE TAXPAYERS OF MODEST MEANS T O CONTRIBUTE ; AND FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE AUTHORIZED TO COMMUNICATE THESE POSITIONS AND CONCERNS AS APPROPRIATE. �-2- Rationale Generous charitable g1v1ng and the eleemosynary spirit and hallmarks of our American society are absolutely essential to the ability of the nonprofit sector to serve so substantially the general welfare, health, education and cultural vitality of our pluralistic nation. Enlightened tax policies which recognize and encourage charitable contributions to qualifying nonprofit organizations are critically important, and have long been recognized in American law. Both the repeal of the non-itemizer deduction (granted by a recent innovation in tax policy) and the imposition of a 3% floor on Schedule A deductions for higher income taxpayers are distressing erosions in such enlightened tax policy toward the nonprofit sector. The continuation beyond its "sunset" date and any increase in the 3% threshhold would constitute a very serious and damaging discouragement and depression in charitable giving. Congress should be reminded of this regularly between now and the sunset date.

In February, that rate increased substantially , and current proposals could increase the rate in October by as much as another 45%. RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE BOARD OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM UNANIMOUSLY ADOPT A POSITION URGING FULL FUNDING OF THE PREFERRED BULK MAILING RATE FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. FURTHER, THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE AUTHORIZED TO CONVEY THIS POSITION TO THE MICHIGAN CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION AND MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, AND TO NOTIFY MNF TRUSTEES AND OTHER NONPROFIT LEADERS THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN. Rationale: In order to maintain the rate at post-February levels, Congress must earmark $649 million specifically for this purpose . Unless Congress appropriates full funding in the next few weeks , the nation's nonprofit sector will face a significant handicap in the challenging years ahep d. Both the House and Senate budget committees have recommended reduced funding. In the next week or so, their recommendations will go to a Conference Committee that has yet to be appointed after which allocation decisions will be made by Congress. Time is limited, but the decision has such far-reaching implications that it deserves our deliberate participation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes of the MNF Membership Committee Tuesday. March 19. 1991 -- 10:00 to 12:00 at the Michigan Association of School Boards 421 W. Kalamazoo, Lansing, Michigan Trustees Present: Barbara Goldman, Justin King, Len Young Staff Present: Donna Clarke, Maryellen Lewis 1. Welcome and Introductions. As Committee Chair, Barbara Goldman welcomed members and convened the meeting at 10:05. 2. Review of the Committee Charge. B. Goldman reviewed the charge from the Bylaws, emphasizing this Committee's formative role in defining membership categories and privileges. In a mature organization, this Committee's primary task will be to nominate new Trustees and Officers. Now, however, the Committee must create an overall membership structure -- consistent with the Bylaws -- and lay groundwork for an effective membership campaign. 3. Discussion of Membership Categories. The Committee discussed the question of terms for At-Large Members, without final recommendation. Most of the discussion addressed the yet-unrefrned category of nonvoting Associate members. Several principles were adopted: -- That this category should be inclusive rather than exclusive. -- That among its privileges are inclusion in the MNF information dissemination network; participation in MNF committees and planning process; opportunity to participate in forums, represent their constituencies in visible ways, and use MNF briefs/updates/issue syntheses to strengthen their own capacity to be of service (e.g., to include in their newsletters, share with their members). -- That the criteria for participation as a nonvoting Associate Membership should be few and general, perhaps these: that the organization represent ... and support the purposes and activities of the Forum. �-- That among the special privileges of Associate Membership should be the possibility of being selected by the Nominating Committee to fill one of five new Trustee positions, created by a Bylaws Amendment. 4. Committee Recommendations to the Board. The Committee agreed tentatively to recommend a Bylaws change, which will allow five new Trustee positions to be filled from among the nonvoting Associate Members. The Committee discussed several principles: --In selecting candidates, the Nominating Committee should give due consideration to Board balance, scope and flexibility, and especially to filling perceived gaps in Board coverage. --The Elected Associate Members then would each designate one representative to serve as MNF Trustee, for a two-year term. The Board should prepare guidelines for this selection, as it did for Organizational Members. For example, MNF might suggest that the Representatives be respected leaders, influential persons capable of filtering useful information and insight throughout their community of nonprofits. The Committee also briefly discussed membership dues/contributions, a subject which will also be considered by the Finance Committee. No consensus was reached on whether to propose dues or voluntary contributions (which is the current format). Three dues systems were mentioned: One based on a formula (e.g. , 0. 0125 % of the organization's budget); a second with a stair-step structure based on overall budget size; and a third with a stair-step structure based on personnel budget. 5. Follow-up tasks and Assignments to Staff. The Committee agreed to develop a set of recommendations at its next meeting, for submission to the Finance Committee. B. Goldman agreed to send an example of a good formula for membership dues. Staff was charged with drafting a Bylaws Amendment for the Committee's consideration. The next meeting was set for April 3 from 10:00 to 12:00, same place. 6. Adjournment. The Committee adjourned at 12:15. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Washington Square, Basement Co nference Room) Trustees Present: E. Blews, B. Goldman, R. Ivory, J. Lore, R. Mawby, B. McDonald, H. Philpott, G. Stevens Staff Present : D. Clarke, D. Egner, M. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order. MNF Cha irman R. Mawby welcomed the Committee and called the meeting to order at 9:10. 2. Report of the Chairman. R. Mawby reported on the successful Executive Search and the hiring of M. Lewis as Executive Director on November 1, 1990 . He also report ed on the December 18 meeting of the MNF Officers to consider options for moving MNF -- now located in rent-free space a t the Kellogg Center, Michigan State University since January 1, 1991. That space will only be available until August 30, 1991, so other arrangements must eventually be made. 3. Reports of the Standing Committees. Since no Committee has yet met, the Committee Chairs outlined their plans and strategies. (a) Bud~et/Finance Committee. Chairman R. Ivory described two primary responsibilities of this committee: general fiscal oversight, and fiscal planning. His primary focus for fiscal planning will be to maintain a healthy balance between core funding and project su~port. He mentioned that, although membership income will probably never become the major source of income, it will be a significant factor, representing both stable resources and a credible broad base. (b) Audit Co mm ittee. Chairman G. Stevens proposed to identify a credible audit firm by first surveying the membership for their recommendations. He pointed out that the Forum's first 7 months will also be audited as part of the United Way of Michigan's books (fiscal year ending 12/31) . �c. Membership Committee. Chairperson B. Goldman described the exciting challenge that this new organization offers: beginning with a c lean slate, rather than fulfilling an established routine. She identified several major tasks ahead for her Comm i tt e e : ( 1) defining the "Associate" and "Other" membership c ategories in the Bylaws; (2) incorporating terms f o r At-Large members; and (3} designing a process for identifying, recruiting and orienting new members. d. Public Policy Committee. Chairman E. Ble ws reviewed the charge to this Committee, whi c h res t r ict s its focus to sector-wide issues where there is bro ad , shared concern across the nonprofit sector; and wh ic h requires that any subsequent action by the Board be based on a unanimous yote. He described several possible issues mee t ing t he first criteria~, and other Trustees identified additional issues: Federal Issues Tax policy, and the pressure to increase revenues The future of the 3% floor on deducti o ns The deduction on contributions for nonitemizers The pending postal rate increase State Issue.s Protection from liability for volunteers Current budget cutbacks and implications for Michigan's nonprofit sector Making the case that the nonprofit sector is part of the solution; Articulating the principles, the key social role of the sector Trustees discussed the need to communicate with the new administration, to build an effective partnership for the challenges ahead. e. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar Program Committee. Co-Chair J. Lore reported that the program for May 10, 1991 had been completed and publicity would be forthcoming. Each Trustee was invited to alert colleagues and networks. Staff would be in tou c h with each of them about how many brochures they would need for distribution. f. Program Committee. Co-Chair H. Philpott outlined a plan to use notes from the 10/16 Board Meeting �brainstorming sessions as the starting point for Program Committee planning. The Co mmi ttee would seek overarching themes that affect the sector broadly, not sector-specific issues. One continuing question to address is " who is the audience for the Forum?" 4. Staff Report. M. Lewis reported that the Voluntarism Coo rdinating Co mm ittee (chaired by George Romney, co-chaired by Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker) had met on December 20, co nvening over 30 leaders of networks co nce rned with vo luntarism in Michigan. The co mmittee had divided into two subcommittees, to focus on {a) a statewide, yea rl o ng promotion campaign, and (b) a regional focus, designed to mobilize key leadership and develop strategies to establish up to 30 new Volunteer Centers in Michigan. She also reported on a new initiative involving the Forum in promoting cempus-based community service programs, in partnership with the Michigan Campus Compact and COOL {based in Minneapolis). She added that MNF had been of assistance to Michigan State University in obtaining a unique database on Michigan's nonprofit sector, to be housed in the CRIS database (and thus accessible to scholars statewide). Finally, she reported that, as approved by the Board, the Forum was working with the Foundation for American CcommunicationS (FACS) to implement the Michigan Communication Project -- designed to assist both journalists and nonprofits to get more information on the nonprofit sector to the public through the press. 5. Other Business. Trustees discussed the possibility of involving Michelle Engler in the Forum's work. E. Blews voluntee~ed to make inquiries and to draft a letter for R. Mawby based on what he learned. 6. Schedule of Executive Committee Meetings. The Committee discussed meeting quarterly. The next meeting was set for May 2, in advance of the May 9 Board Meeting (the day before the Grantmakers/Gra~tseekers Seminar at the same hotel, the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn). 7. The meeting adjourned at 11:45. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
