April 1, 1992 Proposal for a Seed Grant addressed to the National Council of Nonprofit Associations Summary. Based on the experience of its first, start-up year, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum now has a framework of Guiding Principles and key priorities to guide its work. The priorities target policy issues and advocacy as prime areas for development during MNF's next developmental phase. These are new tasks for MNF, requiring exploration and planning within the state, as well as learning from other states with similar challenges. If funded, we will spend the next ten months learning from our peers in other states (by visiting other states and by bringing knowledgeable persons into Michigan); learning from our member organizations (such as the Michigan League for Human Services and the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan) who advocate for their subsection of the nonprofit sector; convening small groups within the state to identify other potential cross-sector collaborators and effective strategies; and then putting in place the infrastructure needed to implement those strategies. We propose to do this with a combination of current MNF funds, the $3000 "seed grant" and the $1000 of technical assistance funds for learning from other NCNA members (particularly CO, MN, NJ, and NY, and the Independent Sector). To support this proposal, we submit the following answers to the required questions (totaling no more than three pages): QUESTION 1: Briefly describe your organization's structure and program. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is an alliance intended to achieve a sector-wide, unified "voice" and joint action on issues of mutual concern. MNF's structure was designed to be widelyrepresentative of the richness of the sector, and inclusive of the diversity of "stakeholders" that desire and need to be heard. MNF's structure is comprised of a governing board, inclusive operating committees, and membership open to all nonprofits. Operations are supported by a fulltime staff of three — Executive Director, Administrative Assistant, and Administrative Secretary — and student interns, currently three. GOVERNING BOARD: made up of (a) up to 20 statewide broad-based, nonduplicating networks in Michigan's nonprofit sector, who each appoint two MNF Trustees, including the organization's CEO and a designated member of its board (or two designated board members, where there is no staff); (b) five At-Large Trustees, selected from among prominent leaders in Michigan's nonprofit sector; and (c) five Network Trustees, elected from among MNF's Network Members. �INCLUSIVE OPERATING COMMITTEES. MNF's programs are designed and conducted by inclusive committees, assisted by MNF's small staff. For example, the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar each year is planned and implemented by a committee of half grantmakers and half grantseekers in Michigan. The Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism/Year of the Volunteer is being planned by a committee of 40 statewide networks with a commitment to volunteering (such as the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the United Way of Michigan, Rotaries Clubs of Michigan, the Michigan Public Broadcasters Association). The MNF Public Policy Committee is comprised of a growing number of key leaders in the Michigan nonprofit community, and its membership continues to grow. MEMBERSHIP. MNF membership is open to all nonprofits in the state. Associate Members can be agencies or individuals. Network Members must themselves be networks and participate more actively in MNF's statewide work. MNF's programs include the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar (open to all nonprofits), its biannual videotaped Policy Summit (which has limited participants but the tapes are used for regional and local roundtables around the state); the Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism (open to all) followed by a yearlong Give Five Campaign in 1993-94; Scholars Roundtables and a 12/92 research conference to encourage research on Michigan's nonprofit sector, which MNF also disseminates to practitioners; a quarterly calendar of low-cost, quality training opportunities for nonprofits, included in the quarterly newsletter; and a clearinghouse of information/referrals on sectorwide issues. QUESTION #2: Describe the aspects of your organization that need strengthening or expansion. Identify vour priorities and explain why you have selected them. As a result of MNF's first year of operations, MNF trustees were able to draw insights from their members and from surveys conducted at MNF events (such as the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminars, attended by 1200-1400 nonprofit professionals) to identify several sharply focused priorities. Policy and advocacy are top among them, as they are also for several other NCNA members. To address those new priorities, MNF must now strengthen its capacity to inform and mobilize the Michigan nonprofit sector on issues of shared concern. We have some piecemeal experience with this role from MNF's first year, when several Position Statements were adopted by trustees on critical issues (such as the postal rate increase and threats to the charitable deduction). However, a systematic, dependable strategy is now necessary. QUESTION #3: How will you use this grant to accomplish your goals? If funded, we will use the $3000 grant and $1000 technical assistance allowance, supplemented by MNF's current budget, to (a) learn from our peers in other states (especially CO, MN, NJ, and NY, and the Independent Sector), by visiting other states and by bringing knowledgeable persons into Michigan; (b) learn from our member organizations (such as the Michigan League for Human Services and the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan) who advocate for their subsection of the Michigan nonprofit sector; (c) convene small groups within the state to identify other potential cross-sector collaborators and effective �strategies; and (d) put in place the infrastructure (especially communication protocols) needed to implement those strategies. Specifically, we will use the funds for travel, meeting costs, duplication and mailings. QUESTION #4: What is your working plan, including a timetahle? If funded, we will begin in May and continue for ten months, when the project will culminate in (a) the design of a Public Policy "stream" in the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, (b) focused articles in the March special newsletter issue, mailed to more than 10,000 organizations, and (c) the initiation of a series of Policy Alert publications. Travel will depend on out-of-state schedules but should be completed during the summer. Meetings in-state (some including out-of-state resource persons) will begin in summer, with the bulk completed in time for our October 12 Annual Meeting of Trustees. Based on trustee approval, implementation of the communication/networking/advocacy strategies will begin immediately, aiming for operation by the January meeting of the Public Policy Committee. Outcomes will provide the basis for the products described above. QUESTION #5: What technical assistance will YOU need? Describe in detail how YOU will use UP to $1000 technical assistance funding to further vour proposed plan of action. Clearly, we have much to learn from our peer associations, particularly those in CO, MN, NJ and NY and the Independent Sector which have much experience with advocacy. If funded, we will use these funds to supplement the grant and MNF funds to cover travel and, if ever necessary, to reimburse their organizations for these leaders' time, in order to (a) visit them where appropriate, and (b) bring them to Michigan as part of the strategy described for Question #3.

MINUTES of the Public Policy and Program Summit Subcommittee December 19, 1991 -- 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, Michigan PRESENT: Edward O. Blews, Jr. Donna M. Clarke Robert E. Ivory Sr. Monica Kostielney Maryellen J. Lewis Linda B. Patterson Helen C. Philpott Herbert Yamanishi Sharon Parks 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With Co-chairs E. Blews and H. Philpott present, the meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Review of Plans for the Summit: M. Lewis reviewed the plans for the summit as follows: a. The focus will be on the evolving partnership between government, the nonprofit sector and business to provide Public Goods. The emphasis will be on Michigan, aiming to achieve a better understanding of how we can stabilize and most effectively utilize those relationships, especially during these difficult times. b. The format will be a roundtable discussion, involving 15-18 people in a moderated discussion, guided by a thoughtful paper (10-15 pp. addressed to a non technical audience) circulated in advance. c. The program will open with a presentation by the author of the paper, who will speak for 20 minutes. Next will be a brief presentation by an attorneytype, laying further groundwork for the roundtable discussion on the legal framework for the evolving partnership and recent dilemmas (10-15 minutes). Next will be one or more brief presentations on the framework of values underlying the sector, distinguishing it and justifying its special status (10-15 minutes). �d. The rest of the program will be a moderated discussion, followed at the end by questions and comments from the selected audience of 30 knowledgeable persons representing a wide range of stakeholders. After discussion, the committee agreed to incorporate the brief presentations into the moderated discussion to allow for expanded audience participation. 3. Update on Progress: M. Lewis reviewed the work on the program to date. John Gardner was unable to serve as the presenter. However, Robert Payton, Director of the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy has agreed to be the keynote speaker. An invitation has also been extended to Janne Gallagher, legal scholar for the Independent Sector and author of their "White Paper". Lawrence Technological University has agreed to tape the summit. After discussion, the committee agreed staff should work with Lawrence Tech to determine the taping specifics, such as length of taping and editing. The final product should serve as a discussion guide, as well as a promotional tool for MNF. 4. Discussion of the Program: The committee discussed the theme of the summit and the focus of R. Payton's remarks. The committee agreed his paper should have a broad focus, while his presentation should focus on specific issues. R. Payton's remarks will provide the framework for the moderated discussion, including background on the history of the sector. What is the rationale for the nonprofit sector's existence? How has its relationship with the private and governmental sectors evolved over time? What can we learn from the past and present to guide us for the future? The committee agreed the moderator should pose questions which address these issues and provoke active discussion from the panelists. Staff will work with R. Payton and E. Blews, the moderator, to refine the questions and the focus of the discussion. The committee agreed to change the format so that only R. Payton will speak at the opening of the session. Other presentations (such as the legal view) will be woven strategically throughout the program, to present a more integrated program. The committee discussed potential candidates for the panel. The panel should be composed of representatives from all three sectors and should include individuals who represent labor, arts, health, education, religion, funders, media, and community leadership. Potential panelists include: Father Cunningham, Vern Ehlers, Paul Henry, Lynn Jondahl, Dave Hollister, Bill Sederburg, Helen Milliken, Joyce Brown, Paul Hubbard, Russ Mawby, John Porter, Tony Beneviedes, Jim Epolito, Mariam Noland, Doug Roberts, Susan Church, Leon Cohan, Robert Ivory, Frank Garrison, Marylee Davis, Maureen Fay, Anne Mulder, Margueritte Coelsky, Danny Peterson, Joe Stroud, Neil Shine, Joe Hudson, and Walt Campbell. Staff will work with other �trustees and members to assemble a panel which reflects diversity in race, religion, gender, and geographical location. The committee agreed MNF members should be invited to nominate individuals for the selected audience of 30-40. Staff will also invite others who might serve as a valuable resource for the discussion. 5. Next Steps: M. Lewis will distribute a questionnaire on panelists. Staff will also work with E. Blews to develop questions for the panelists. Committee suggestions for questions are welcome. M. Lewis will contact R. Payton on the contents of his session. Staff will determine the summit location and make the appropriate arrangements for taping and a lunch to follow. 6. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m. ref:ppcll219 .min,cm/ppc,6400 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Partnership for People and Progress: The Nonprofit Sector's Evolving Relationship with Michigan's Government and Business Community Lansing, Michigan February 28, 1992 DISCUSSION PAPER Robert L. Payton Director, Center on Philanthropy Professor of Philanthropic Studies Indiana University �This is a personal reflection on three questions: (1) What is the history of the partnership among the three sectors? (2) What role does the third, nonprofit sector play in relationship to government and business? (3) What are some of the principles that might guide future policy and action? The Summit itself is an exercise in what might be called "exploratory discourse": we enter the discussion with questions and presumably with open minds about the answers; we will explore possibilities that would make things different in some ways from what they now are. The Summit itself has no authority to effect change; in fact, the Summit has only the moral authority we may bring to it, individually and collectively. If we are successful, others will carry the discussion forward towards action and implementation. -1The history of the partnership is really a chapter in the history of the United States as a three-sector society. The experience of the United States is very different from that of most other societies. The extent to which we rely on voluntary action is greater, as is the number of people who give their time and resources voluntarily to the public good. These are some of the elements that I consider to be of greatest importance in that history: • Voluntary association both for purposes of commerce and community-building has always been a defining characteristic of American society, as de Tocqueville first observed more than 150 years ago. • The scale and scope of voluntary action are essential to our existence as a free, open, democratic society. Philanthropy is rooted in the First Amendment freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. Even mundane activities like fund raising are essential to democracy. �• As Madison observed, the greatest of all reflections on human nature is government itself; the Constitution is grounded in a profound understanding of human nature. Altruism as well as egoism — benevolent concern for the well-being of others as well as selfinterest — influences human behavior. • The first partnerships were between merchants and ministers joined together to make communities attractive, livable, and humane. • Religion has always been the largest element in American philanthropy. • Self-help and mutual aid are deeply ingrained in our tradition. Both government assistance and philanthropy assume that self-help and mutual aid are part of the mix. • American society grew from the community up rather than from the nation down. Voluntary action is rooted in the local community. • The history of the third sector is "the social history of the moral imagination." It is the public square in which we debate how suffering may be alleviated and how the quality of life can be improved. It is also the principal arena of social innovation. • If one of our greatest strengths is voluntary association, the risk of voluntary association is divisiveness on the one hand, and the tyranny of the majority on the other. Always be prepared to ask, "When is voluntary action for the public good?" • The voluntary tradition is a tradition ~ that is, it passes from one generation to the next only if those who are the stewards are faithful and competent. Like our liberty, it must be earned; its survival is not assured. To preserve the tradition we must practice it; to practice it effectively we must understand it; to understand it we must study it; to be faithful stewards we must guard it, teach it and pass it on. Despite the importance of the tradition and despite its vast scope and influence, philanthropy is not part of the formal education of most Americans. We give more time and money to driver education than we do to education in good works. The history of American philanthropy includes other noteworthy elements, some of which are more myth and story-telling than bare historical fact: The barn-raising as the symbol of mutual aid with a touch of charity; the invention of the general purpose endowed �philanthropic foundation; the tax deduction to encourage charitable giving; the moral imagination of Benjamin Franklin, Jane Addams, Andrew Carnegie, Sojourner Truth, and Ralph Nader; the scandals of the televangelists; the organizational genius and marketing savvy of the United Way; the invention of the community foundation; the ambiguous accountability of boards of trustees; the business of fund raising ~ capital campaigns, charity balls, causerelated marketing, planned giving, and fund raising consultants; the shifting boundaries among the sectors — the Peace Corps, the Exxon Education Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Independent Sector and the Council on Foundations, the American Red Cross, the Kellogg Foundation, Catholic Relief Services, the RAND Corporation, the Center on Philanthropy .... -2How do the three sectors interact? The preceding list indicates one continuing characteristic of the American philanthropic tradition: the constant shifting of boundaries. We speak of nonprofit organizations as if we were able easily to mark them off from for-profit organizations, to distinguish them from "business." In most other parts of the world, the term nongovernmental organization is used. (In England there are even QUANGOS: quasinongovernmental organizations.) The third sector has similarities to both of the other two sectors, and some important differences. Unlike government, the third sector lacks the power to tax; and unlike business, it lacks the profit-motive that makes borrowing plausible. Like business, the third sector is entrepreneurial and self-motivated. Like government, the third sector is concerned with the public good as well as with "public goods" in the economist's sense — the things that everyone has equal access to regardless of how they're paid for. Like business, the third sector offers individual choice — we can "buy" the charity of our choice. Unlike business, there is no market test; a nonprofit can lose money indefinitely. Unlike government, the third sector doesn't have to win majority approval. (On retiring from a board of trustees a friend of mine �once said, "I want to get back to where I'm held accountable for things ~ where either dollars or votes tell you whether you're succeeding or not.") Nonprofit organizations make good allies for government and business. On the average, nonprofit organizations offer credibility and efficiency; they are close to the people and they are committed to their mission. Despite their ability to make decisions, business organizations are always subject to question because of their self-interest; governmental organizations are always subject to question because of their inflexibility. At the community level the credibility of nonprofits is tested every day. Nonprofit organizations that depend heavily on volunteers, and know how to use them effectively, have a large network of persuasive word-of-mouth advertising. Donated volunteer services increase the employment of the third sector by roughly fifty percent. Volunteers include most of the most influential people of every community — including most of the wealthy. Volunteer leaders who are close to the organizations they serve « those who tend to give time as well as money ~ tend to be efficient, committed, informed, and tough-minded. Often overlooked is the fact that many volunteers in the third sector are employed in the other two. Volunteers often carry their public service values with them back into their work environment (just as those who attend religious services frequently are influenced in their work by their religious values). Philanthropy is a powerful integrative force in American life: voluntary service often brings Americans together across religious, racial, ethnic, cultural, social, and economic lines. Important though it is, voluntary action for the public good is dynamic, changing ~ and often difficult. Here are some of the challenges: • Mission comes first. A recent New York Times headline reported that "Hard Times Force Many Universities to Reconsider Their Missions." I would argue that reconsideration of mission has the highest priority of ail. Teleopathy — a recently-coined word to identify "disease of purpose" or loss of mission — can happen in all of the three sectors when inappropriate values seep in from the other sectors. The most important illustrations of third sector loss of mission are when business values force out philanthropic ones, or when third sector organizations become �dependent servants of government agencies. Another significant and familiar form of the disease is evident when people come together voluntarily in pursuit of the wrong cause: the Ku Klux Klan is an example. Each sector has its special vulnerability: instead of service, government allows bureaucracy to become an end in itself; instead of jobs, products, and services, business allows profit to become an end in itself; instead of the public good, the nonprofit organization allows itself to become an end in itself. In each case, as someone once put it, INTRASYSTEM GOALS COME FIRST. • Scare Resources: the need of nonprofit organizations for new sources of income; growing competition between nonprofit and for-profit organizations. • Advocacy: the difficulty infindinga "zone of indifference" where nonprofit organizations can criticize or disagree with their business or government patrons without being punished for doing so. We understand neither the rights of nonprofits nor the rights of their patrons. • The bias of patronage: what happens when donors attempt to use their gifts and grants to put unwarranted or self-serving pressure on the nonprofit organizations they support? Is self-restraint an essential factor of enlightened self-interest? • Single-issue philanthropy may be the source of single-issue politics. A growing number of nonprofit organizations act as if their cause is the only one that matters; that "the public good" is either identical with their cause or will take care of itself. • The often-impassioned, often-excessive rhetorical claims of nonprofit organizations lead to the well-known phenomenon of "compassion fatigue". • The increasing use of professional staff often displaces volunteers and deprives nonprofit organizations of their community roots. • The quandaries of fund raising: direct mail and telemarketing techniques raise money and lose sympathy. Nonprofits are perceived as wasteful, intrusive, and too aggressive. Yet most contributors do not give willingly at the first request, do not continue giving without insistent reminders, and do not give as generously as they might. On the other �hand, most contributors buy many charitable products and services in the philanthropic supermarket. • Inadequate accountability, regulation, and control: some of the strongest advocates of the third sector are worried about its lack of self-governance and of external supervision. On the other hand, many of those who would regulate the third sector have little understanding of its distinctive characteristics and its unique role in American society. • Operating Support: nonprofit organizations find it increasingly difficult to raise general operating funds. Corporations and government agencies are becoming more rather than less prescriptive in their support. It is also an unwritten law of giving that the larger the gift, the more likely it is to be restricted in purpose and use. • All three sectors should be more alert to the claims of new voices; we should all remember how slow the society was to awake to the dangers of AIDS. All three sectors should remember that it is harder for new organizations to raise money and to make their case; we shouldn't hold them to the same standards of expenditure we expect of well-established organizations. • It is in the interest of the first sector of government and the second sector of business that the third sector be strong, vigorous, and effective. The United States remains a three-sector, not afive-sector- and most important of all, not a one-sector ~ society. -3Principles to guide policy and action. Some of the challenges and problems outlined above indicate the guiding principles and actions I am likely to recommend. Some of the following suggests changes in attitude and provides some unsolicited advice, as well. Recommendations for Government, the first sector: • Community-, regional-, and state level nonpartisan or bipartisan groups, with representatives from all three sectors, should be created to inform legislation. �• Legislative aides should be urged to spend some time as volunteers in nonprofit organizations. They should meet in discussion groups with nonprofit executives and trustees on a continuing basis. • Nonpartisan citizen groups should be appointed to address the complex issues of regulation of nonprofits. • On the average nationally, nonprofit organizations earn half of their income from fees and other charges. Legal decisions that have determined that the source of the income must be related to the nonprofit1 s purposes, rather than letting tax exemption or deduction be determined by the use of the funds, have unwisely cut off an important income opportunity. Michigan should lead the way toward a more creative financing of nonprofit organizations. • Government partnership with third sector organizations does not require that we make nonprofits behave like government bureaucracies. The Michigan legislature should press for greater flexibility in administrative regulation; citizen groups should be appointed by the Government and the Legislature to monitor nonprofit behavior. • Government encouragement of voluntary service should include encouragement of voluntary service to government agencies as well as to nonprofit ones. Voluntary service to political parties should also be encouraged as important. Recommendations for the second sector ~ principally the business community: • If there is to be a workable and lasting partnership between business and nonprofit organizations, the partnership has to be based on mutual respect and cooperation, not on mutual distrust or exploitation. (The reciprocal nature of the relationship also comes up under the third sector's principles of action.) • The media should pay more systematic attention to voluntary action and philanthropy. Local media should call more attention to voluntary service and voluntary giving, especially when it is distinctive and worthy of recognition. The media should share the �role of holding the third sector accountable. The media should participate in as well as cover forums like this one. • Business should encourage employee volunteering, and, whenever possible, make loaned executives and technical assistance available to nonprofits. • Business ingenuity and entrepreneurial experience should help nonprofits develop new sources of income. Accounting firms should devote more creative attention to the needs of their nonprofit clients. Recommendations for the third sector, the nonprofit community: • "Physician, heal thyself." Nonprofits should not wait until others impose standards of performance and accountability upon them to act responsibly. Michigan nonprofits should lead the way in adopting the Independent Sector ethics and values statement and in conducting ethical audits. • The third sector should learn from its mistakes. Public discussion — often the mere possibility of public discussion - is therapeutic. Self-deception is always harmful. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum should help nonprofits and their partners to address the weaknesses and failures of every segment of the third sector: grantors, grantees, professional staff, trustees and volunteers. • The midwest considers itself to be the heartland of American philanthropy. Michigan should lead the way in forming a Midwest Forum on the model of the Michigan Forum. • Meetings of nonprofit organizations and associations should carve out more time to discuss the philanthropic tradition — its rationale, its values, its distinctiveness, its stewardship. • Parents and other volunteers should become advocates of education for voluntary service. Michigan should introduce the study of philanthropy into teacher education. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GALLAGHER: Probably the single most important structural distinction is the concept that nonprofits, as matter of law, are barred from operating for the private benefit of anyone. The concept of "no private benefit" involves an attention to salary levels that are reasonable, to operating in a way that doesn't advance the private interest on any individual or any selfselected group of individuals. It also involves a commitment of assets irrevocably to a public purpose. A self-imposed characteristic, not one that's usually required by law, is that nonprofits are typically governed by volunteer Boards of Directors. The concept of a group of volunteers coming together in a community to form an organization in response to a community need, and then lending their time to provide policy guidance to that organization, is an important characteristic of nonprofits. Finally, they do exist to provide some form of public good or public benefit. For the purposes of the Independent Sector's paper [defining the nonprofit sector from a national perspective] which I am drafting, the steering committee has tried to evolve a set of values that the sector embodies and nurtures. This paper is in the process of development; the values I'm about to describe are not finished, and I hope that this discussion will inform our further work in the area. 1. "Giving, Service and Community." This value emphasizes the basic moral obligation of people to care for and serve others. It is the value that creates a fundamental sense of community. Without giving, without service, we don't have community. �2. "Pluralism." At the same time that we're building community, we're also affirming the value of diversity, the ability within the community to speak out for other points of view. Nonprofits also encourage individuals, encourage groups to come together, to act on their own values and their own beliefs. Nonprofits provide a structure for people to do that. 3. "Civic Participation. " The nonprofit sector is a way for individuals to come together to act for positive social change within our democratic society. In this way, we are sustaining and renewing the democratic process. Without viable voluntary organizations, the democratic process would wither. 4. "Development of Human Potential." Most nonprofits exist in one way or another to help people grow -- to be as good as they can be. In this value we have the commitment to excellence in education, to research, to artistic expression. We also have the development of strong families, sound health, healthy environment, an overall positive moral character for people, altruism. 5. "Compassionate Response to Human Need." Voluntary organizations are the ones that exist to mobilize community resources to care for the poor, the sick and the disabled, the elderly, others with special needs here in the U.S. and around the world. 6. "Faith." It is impossible to talk about the nonprofit sector and ignore the importance of the religious community within it. Through the voluntary sector, we have the means for people to express their faith, their commitment. 7 .... AND AT LEAST THREE OTHER VALUES: Nonprofits serve as the protectors of the legacies of the past. They play an important role in providing perspective on the future. And they are the architects and practitioners of ethical behavior. VAUGHN: Earlier [in response to the question "What comes to mind when you hear the term "Nonprofit Sector?"] I said that the nonprofit sector is "Good for All." It's the first thing that came in my mind. And then I made a little notation: Things held in common. It doesn't benefit the left or the right. It means I should rise above my own ethnicity or political persuasion and do what is right. YAMANISID: I think the nonprofit sector can't be defined quite so pristine and purely. Is' a dynamic. It's a force that's being pushed between the private sector and the public sector, and you have institutions, organizations within the nonprofit sector that are leaning one way or the other constantly. I think it encompasses all these values. I think what we're trying to do, what the independent sector is trying to do, is help to define more appropriately, "Where is the middle ground that the general public is going to accept in terms of that dynamic?" IVORY: In my view, one of the characteristics that makes us somewhat invisible, one of the hallmarks of the nonprofit sector is, in fact, the volunteer workforce. I've always been 2 �impressed to hear George Romney talk about that volunteer commitment and ownership, the participatory principle of people becoming involved in community issues. EPOLITO: When I think of what "nonprofit" means, it means not to benefit any one individual's good; that the dollars that are collected, the services that are provided are not for any individual, personal need but for the good of all. So my response was "credibility" because I find that many nonprofits have a very difficult time in achieving and maintaining credibility. CUNNINGHAM: To me, credibility is far less important than intregrity. I don't think people ought to be trusted or believed. I think they ought to have track records to be able to demonstrate that they're worthy of the support of government and partnership with industry. BANDSTRA: I think that what's happening here with the credibility problem is what happens so often in all kinds of institutions in our society, that good apples are infected with the aura that surrounds some bad apples. And I've often wondered whether we, as State Legislators or nationally, ought to come up with some better system of required disclosure of how nonprofits work, to provide assurance to everyone, through some standardized reporting system, to deal with the kind of public perception problem that sometimes does infect the nonprofit side, unfortunately and unwarrantedly often. THE CHANGING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE SECTORS GALLAGHER: I'd like to review some national and state trends that, I think, are going to affect the development of government/business/nonprofit partnerships over the next 10 years. The President's budget proposal, factored out over the next 5 years, is projecting declines in federal spending for education and training, for social services, for transportation, for community and regional development. The only thing that's projected to grow is federal spending for medical care. The most recent, valid data on state finances reported in midDecember that 30 states were receiving less revenue than they needed to balance their budgets. A lot of states are cutting aid to local governments as one way to balance their budgets. Its a terrible picture, one that will force substantial changes in how we deliver services and force changes in the partnerships between the sectors. Someone is going to have to pick up the slack, and only nonprofit organizations are left. And that's going to force nonprofits to find new approaches to delivery of services, to look at innovative, creative, community-based solutions to problems. MAWBY: I find it useful from time to time to remind myself of a fundamental interdependence of these three sectors. In fact, the governmental and the nonprofit sectors are fully dependent for their resources upon the vitality, the success of the other sector: Business. And it is only as business is successful that government can generate its resources. It is only as business is successful that employees can have the where-with-all to contribute -- 85 % of giving is by individuals. Public policy, in effect, decides how these private resources are going to be mobilized to serve the public good. And in those decisions, we can provide incentives or disincentives for voluntary giving. In my public remarks, I have been talking 3 �about the 1990s as the Decade of the Community, because it seems to me for several decades we've been shifting responsibility to higher and higher levels, to Lansing and then to Washington. I think society now is becoming somewhat disenchanted. I think at the community level we're able to respond most effectively to community needs. We've got an awkward period of transition, where responsibility is being shifted but resources have not yet been allocated. But I think this represents the interrelationship of the three sectors in the larger picture. COX: Business organizations certainly recognize their own corporate responsibility to the nonprofit sector. That is limited by their own resources, obviously, and as you go through a time much like we're in today, the amount of resources available for distribution becomes limited. Businesses have the same compassion and the same social concerns that all of us have. But sometimes its a choice of meeting the payroll or donating to nonprofit organizations. And the obligation, obviously, is to meet the payroll. There's a concern about how much of the tax dollar should be devoted to that as well. You can't do both. You can't continue to raise taxes and then continue to expect the business community to find the means to solve all the problems too. EPOLITO: On my desk in my office sits, I don't know, maybe $15,000 or $20,000 worth of requests for funding. We even set up a Corporate Giving Committee to determine where we're going to allocate our resources. At the same time, our employees are also inundated with requests, and I have, for example, a $500 tuxedo evening affair for the Humane Society to save dogs and cats. I'm not criticizing that because it's a major priority for some people, but we have people starving. We have homeless people in the streets. We, as a corporation, just as we as individuals, have got to set some priorities as to what's important to us in this society. BIANCO: From my perspective and the years I spent in business, I would say that business in the 90s is going to continue its challenge of down-sizing, right-sizing. As that continues, I see the corporate sector having less and less of the executive time and staff time available for volunteerism. I think the corporate sector is going to be able to do less. Like all the rest of us, corporate executives are sensitive human beings, in many cases. But it seems to me that the last Conference Board report showed corporate contributions were 5-6% of the total. (Foundations were another 5-6%.) That averages out at 1. 6% of pre-tax profits, which is a fairly small contribution by corporations. And if corporations are under competitive pressure for new plant investment, for new equipment investment, they're going to face a simple choice: Do I give the money away, or do I reinvest in the company? The challenge to nonprofits is going to be tremendous, to make their case in a very competitive, very sensible way, because I think the corporate pot is going to be smaller both in terms of people (volunteers) and money. ANDERSON: I think it's unfortunate sometimes that we appear to be invisible, because I think the nonprofits have been making wine out of water for a long time. We know how to take 100 pennies and tum it into 101 pennies. We are the organizations that get maximum results out of minimum dollars. We are making extraordinary contributions in our 4 �communities with minimal dollars. I think nonprofits are a much better place sometimes for programs and activities than government entities. HOFFECKER: We view the nonprofit sector as a method by which the tremendous social energy that we have in this country can be channeled and moved into doing the virtuous, good things that we've all mentioned this morning. If the public has access to the information about the nonprofit sector, what they're doing with their income- making 101 pennies out of 100 pennies -- then people, I think, can make reasonable decisions on where to spend their money or, as money gets tight, more importantly spend their time by volunteering. The current statutory scheme, I think, started out as a governmental way to nurture nonprofits. To encourage people to make donations to certain kinds of charities, they get a tax deduction against their income taxes. Well, government should nurture good works that way. On the regulatory side, and that's where I come in as a regulator, we need to protect the public from fraud and provide a mechanisms for information for the public so that they can make decisions on what to do with their time and money. The nonprofit sector can do something that government and business cannot do, and that is, in my opinion, react quickly to changing social needs. Nonprofits can have the chance to be proactive, to look ahead, sense what's going on and then try to deal with it. Especially in the current era, it strikes me that the most dynamic of the three sectors is the nonprofit area. UPJOHN: Well I support that very strongly, because I think that the nonprofit sector is the only game in town that can take risks. We need new kinds of solutions for some of these problems. Government is too ponderous, and for the business community it is really not their function. But that's where our power and our ability to set the agenda comes, I feel. KOSTEVA: Many of the purposes that the nonprofit sector and the governmental sector strive to achieve are so similar. The beauty of the nonprofit sector, in my eyes, is that it allows the individual choice to be made -- the choice by individuals to pursue the nonprofit contributions and roles and volunteerism that they prefer. It allows them to advocate for those causes, and with that choice comes a commitment to those causes. It is one of the fullest expressions of the participatory democracy that Jefferson brought to this country. BENAVIDES: But I have been quite concerned about [those private decisions about donations]. I think that deep in the living rooms where people are making these decisions, there seems to be a tendency that, if they don't know anything about your agency, if they don't know anything about what you do - then they designate somebody else, and I see a lot of these donations going to a certain type of [well-known, well-publicized] agency. I've been an elected official for 10 years in the City of Lansing, and I think we have a tendency to leave the human services, to leave our drugs and crime and health services to the United Way, to the foundations, to "let George do it" type of attitude. I have always advocated that the city government, county government, and state government need to be responsible and we need to set aside, just like we set aside for everything else, we need to set aside dollars that go to this community. I have to believe that if we can educate 'em, and if we can get 'em jobs, and if 5 �we can get 'em the help they need, the whole economic and social quality of life in our community will change. ROEHRIG: As labor leaders, we know our members that we represent are good, communitybased, hard-working individuals; but their budgets are stressed just like every business. Their difficulty with buying bread and supplies and paying tuition and paying for things for their families is just as difficult as corporate Michigan to balance its budget. So if they're beset by too many requests for donations, the tendency is to tum the set off and not listen any more and don't contribute, period! That's the complaint we're getting, that there is an increase in the number of solicitations, both through direct contact and through the workplace. And that creates a whole new set of problems for us in our partnership with business and industry here in Michigan. MU.I.ER: I think we've got to look at cooperation, we've got to look at communication, we've got to look at coordination, and they can't be just nice little concepts that we sit here and talk about. We've got to go out and actively pursue those relationships and develop that communication, so that there isn't the inundation with solicitations, that there isn't the duplication of services. In a time of limited resources, whether its limited public resources or limited private resources, we have to begin to work together. We're talking about money, about people, and about information. In our office, for example, in the Michigan Ombudsman's Office, we had to reprioritize, we had to refocus, we had to down-size, and as a result we found a new direction, a new purpose, a better service. I think this is what this time of limited resources is all about , in government, in business, and in the nonprofit community. Alone we can't do it, but together we have to come and do it and get it done. We're being forced to cooperate, because its the only way we can go now. The money's not there. BIANCO: It seems to me that the safety net provided by the nonprofit sector has its limits. No matter how creative we get or how many volunteers we get, it's very hard for me to see needs being fully addressed simply within the nonprofit sector without substantial financial resources. CLARK: Certainly for the health care industry, and hospitals in particular, this involvement between a nonprofit hospital and governmental agencies has been uneasy, and it certainly isn't getting any better. Government regulation is now so extreme that the very flexibility we've all been talking about in meeting the needs of the local community is increasingly removed. I'd like to be able to take the suggestion that this is exactly the time at which we should be most inventive. But I don't think that is going to happen in health care. The squeeze is coming from both sides, and the ability to respond in inventive and new ways is shrinking as well because of governmental constraints and regulations. Y AMANISm: A comment was made about down-sizing. From the nonprofits' perspective, there have never been adequate resources, probably never will be, for all the needs that we see. If there aren't going to be enough resources, we ought to be given the opportunity to define the problems, the priorities. Unfortunately, what's been happening is that we are being 6 �driven but we are not driving. I mean, if you narrow the opportunities for raising money, then you narrow the kind of opportunities nonprofits can have to address the issues, as well. I think we are at a crossroads, where we need as nonprofits to reconsider, "What it the proper role of the nonprofit sector?" We must reconsider our proper role in society, and we shouldn't be driven by the desires of politicians or by business. We need to take the initiative and start to define our role so that we can help improve the quality of life in America. SEDERBURG: I think the nonprofit sector is defined by what the others are not: You're the residue of everything else. The nonprofit sector is driven not by markets but by goodwill and philanthropy, and the desires of the individuals organizing it. Mission is central to the whole debate. Government is adrift. Private businesses are also having mission difficulties because of the changing economy and global economic forces. And the mission of nonprofit organizations is very, very tricky because everybody looks to you guys to catch everything that's left in between. KOSTEVA: I'd like to go back to the question of "who delivers the results the best." If government makes the conscious decision to, let's say, broaden the deductibility of certain contributions, clearly that will cost the state government. That will reduce the state dollars that can go to social services, so we, therefore, will be making the conscious decision that somebody else, the nonprofit sector, will deliver these services better than the centralized state or federal government. I'm not certain that our society has made that decision. I think they're pushing us in that direction. It's just a matter of the evolutionary process, for the leaders to catch up with their electorate! GALLAGHER: Let me assure you that Michigan is not alone in having a confused approach to incentives for charitable giving. I am disturbed by what I see around the country as I monitor tax challenges to nonprofits. What I'm seeing is a fundamental lack of identity within the nonprofit sector. The Alabama House of Delegates, I'm told, two weeks ago voted to repeal all its charitable sales tax exemptions as part of a restructuring, taking away what they viewed as unfair tax benefits. I believe that will be corrected in the Alabama Senate, but I'm seeing the needs for state revenues driving decisions that I believe are terribly unfortunate for the future of nonprofit organizations. I am seeing organizations forced to spend substantial amounts of money to defend existing tax exemptions, and I'm concerned about that. SEDERBURG: I think we're in the midst of rewriting the social contract in the State of Michigan. Michigan has a history and a tradition similar to Wisconsin and Minnesota, of a public that wanted public services, a good public infrastructure, liked high quality educational institutions, liked to fund the arts, etc. But I think we may be in the midst of a change of attitude, moving more to an Indiana/Ohio type of environment, in which the public says, we're going to rely on the individual to make decisions and to succeed, we're not going to look to government to provide services. The message Jim Kosteva and Rick Bandstra and others are getting from their public is that they're facing economic pressures and we don't care about public services as we're having such a difficult time making it in our own family situation. 7 �I'm afraid that its going to be a tough time ahead until the public really resolves in their own minds the level of public services that they really want out of the state government. WORK: I'd just like to say that it appears as though the nonprofits have been given the mandate to take care of crucial problems that are growing and that are not getting smaller, and that it is truly a mandate without money. Now I understand that we must coordinate, we must have collaborative efforts. But it is a very tough mandate, and I agree with Herb that we must be able to advocate, in order to get some more money, in order to handle these problems that are growing rather than going away. Right now we're pitting human services and human needs against the arts. We're going to be pitting more things against each other, I think, unless we take a really good look at policy issues. KOSTIELNEY: I do not see the nonprofit sector as picking up what other people can't do or won't do. I see that as a bad approach to nonprofits; but rather that there is a basic good that drives one to accomplish good and that is a basis then for forming the nonprofit sector, including the whole spectrum of issues that touch human beings, from basic human needs to the transcendent values we all seek. There is a legitimate place for the nonprofit sector to be present and very active in the range of human activities. CUNNINGHAM: The purpose of the nonprofit organization is to reach for the stars -- to reach for the morally possible in our time and then to integrate that with the society's habits, lifting them up inch by inch, and making the business community a little better too, for the common good. I got this nice, nice point from the paper for this Summit: about educating our people on giving. When are we going to tell folks, you've got to give back? When are we going to start telling them, you've had a nice life, time to give back? We have a tremendously developing population in this country of people who've been around the block a few times who are our greatest treasure. Come and give back! BIANCO: I suspect if you talked to most business executives, they would assume that people who work in nonprofit organizations may have great spiritual qualities, may have great caring qualities, but that most of us are not very good managers. So I think the credibility issue for us is, how do we forcefully demonstrate financial integrity, management strength? Of course we should never lose sight of what Father Cunningham and Sister Monica have said, so we never lose sight of the caring mission and the soaring to the stars. But as we soar to the stars, we should have our audit in our pocket and we should have a good, tight organization. UPJOHN: I come from the volunteer community from station wagon driving, brownie baking, car pooling, bandage rolling, well baby clinic, you name it. And my kids were with me while I was doing that. They knew that I spent the time that while they I wasn't with them and while they were safely in school, working in the community. Today, in so many families where its necessary for both parents to work, they may do volunteer service. They may have all kinds of board commitments and they may be involved, but their children don't know it. Their children have no idea that they really are making a contribution or that, as they grow up, they need to give back. I think we have to have more youth United Ways. We have to have 8 �more involvement for children and young people that go beyond selling Girl Scout cookies but where children really understand what it means to have the joy of giving. PAYTON: The next 20 years, I am told, will see the largest transfer of wealth from one generation to another, not only in the history of this country but probably in the history of the world. Estimated numbers don't sound authentic in the mouth of a humanist like myself, estimates ranging from $3 to $7 trillion dollars. So, although we're got lots of economic problems, don't you believe that we are not a wealthy society. But there isn't money to do things. That's not our problem. But it is a very serious question of what those resources will be used for and I think that's part of what will come out of our participation in this rewriting of the social contract. ref:3/ZJ/92,aummit.txt,publicat\newaltr\6400 ,mjt 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Box 23206 • Lansing, MI 48909 • (517) 694-1422 Certified Public Accountants INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees Michigan Nonprofit Forum East Lansing, Michigan We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Michigan Nonprofit Forum (a nonprofit corporation) as of June 30, 1991 and the related statements of support, revenue, expense and changes in fund balance and functional expense for the period from inception (November 15, 1990) through June 30, 1991. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Michigan Nonprofit Forum as of June 30, 1991 and the results of its operations and changes in fund balance for the period from inception (November 15, 1990) through June 30, 1991 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. / -/- / i _, / 4' /) ~ ;~(!. /~A£-.-/ ~ . /I CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS January 7, 1992 Lansing, Michigan �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BALANCE SHEET JUNE 30, 1991 Current Operating Fund Equipment Fund Total ASSETS cash Accounts receivable Prepaid expenses Office furniturejequipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $833 $ 65,710 $ $ 3,34~ 204 18,317 $ 69,263 $ $ 7,873 1,377 $ 18,317 65,710 3,349 204 18,317 $ 87,580 $ 7,873 1,377 LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE LIABILITIES Accounts payable Accrued vacation Accrued payroll taxes and withholdings Total Liabilities FUND BALANCE 804 804 10,054 10,054 18,317 59,209 $ 69,263 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 $ 18,317 77,526 $ 87,580 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STATEMENT OF SUPPORT, REVENUE, EXPENSE AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 Current Operating Fund PUBLIC SUPPORT AND REVENUE Public Support: Grant allocations Contributions In-kind donation Program fees $ Total Public Support Revenue: Interest income Publication income Miscellaneous Total Revenue Total Public Support and Revenue 70,142 11,870 2,401) 37,190 Equipment Fund $ Total $ 70,142 11,870 2,400 37,190 121,602 121,602 3,475 729 3,592 3,475 729 3,592 7,796 7,796 129,398 129,398 EXPENSE Program Services: Philanthropy Voluntarism Education and public awareness Capacity building Evaluation 65,592 15,976 7,202 6,198 770 425 158 175 25 66,017 16,134 7,377 6,223 770 Total Program Services 95,738 783 96,521 Support Services: Administration 10,935 50 10,985 Total Expense 106,673 833 107,506 Excess (Deficiency) of Public Support and Revenue over Expense 22,725 OTHER CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES Initial transfer of grant assets Equipment acquisition FUND BALANCE AT END OF PERIOD (833) 6,294 12,856 49,340 (12,856} $ 59,209 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 $ 18,317 $ 21,892 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STATEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE PERIOO FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 Support Services Program Services EXPENSE Compensation Benefits end taxes Contract services Professional services Office supplies Copying Subscription end publication Postage end shipping Telephone end networks Steff perking Meetings, meals end eccomnodetions Travel Organizational dues Participation fees Equipment rental Occupancy Insurance Miscellaneous $ 11,847 1'788 2,809 2,m 1 '911 2,816 1,629 1,251 1,156 199 $ $ $ 3,256 478 $ 4,562 593 $ 665 91 168 740 215 212 465 41 24 106 166 230 66 35 4 8 815 15 122 153 680 260 3 290 84 3 456 504 72 65,592 15,976 7,202 6,198 425 158 175 25 64 447 441 83 60 2,690 1,224 Depreciation 11,228 1,460 168 669 31,822 1,615 Total Expense Before Depreciation Total Expense Capacity Building Evaluation Education end Ph I l anth r o12:t Voluntarism PublIc Awareness 66,017 $ 16,134 $ 7,377 See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 s 6,223 Total $ 4 770 $ 770 s Acininistretion 31,558 4,410 2,809 2,m 2,271 4,331 2,078 2,140 2,128 362 $ 5,613 873 Total s 550 659 211 317 491 132 92 37' 171 5, 283 2,809 3,325 2,930 4,542 2,395 2,631 2,260 454 31 '983 3,373 15 559 2,690 2,256 696 595 144 225 313 32,679 3,968 15 583 2,690 2,400 225 313 95,738 10,935 106,673 783 50 833 96,521 24 $ 10,985 $ 107,506 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 1. ORGANIZATION 2. Michigan Nonprofit Forum ("the Forum") is a nonprofit corporation organized to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the State of Michigan . • SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of the significant generally accepted accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Forum have been prepared on the accrual basis. To insure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Forum, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Forum are reported in two separate funds as follows: Current Operating Fund - includes the operating assets and liabilities of the Forum. Equipment Fund - includes the property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Income Taxes The Forum has applied for exemption from income tax under Section These financial 501(c) (3} of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. statements have been prepared on the premise that the Forum's application will be accepted. Functional Expense Allocation Expenses identified as applying to a specific program or support service are recorded in the appropriate service area as incurred. Expenses not directly attributable to a program or support service are allocated between service areas based upon percentages formulated by management through a review of representative expense accounts. 5 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM INCEPTION {NOVEMBER 15, 1990) THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 (CONTINUED) 3. IN-KIND DONATIONS During the period ended June 30, 1991, the Forum received in-kind donations of office space and administrative services (ie: payroll, accounting, etc.). The donat1on of office space and the offsetting occupancy expense are reflected in the financial statements. Because the dollar amount of administrative services was not readily ascertainable it is not reflected in the financial statements. 4. GRANT CONTRACT Formal responsibility for a grant contract, issued by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, was transferred from another nonprofit organization to the Forum as of January 1, 1991. The net assets accumulated from the beginning project date (June 1, 1990) through December 31, 1990, consisting of cash, office furniture/equipment and deferred grant revenue, were transferred to the Forum's possession and have been recognized in the statement of support, revenue, expense and changes in fund balance as initial transfer of assets. 6 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM (A nonprofit corporation) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990} THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Goal #1 HELP TO INCREASFJIMPROVE THE STRUCTURES WHICH SUPPORT VOLUNTEERING IN MICHIGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIES, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: School volunteer programs, College student volunteer bureaus, Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2 HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRESS WILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER BUT DO NOT. During this Year of the Volunteer, several statewide efforts will seek to augment existing local activities: -- Governor George Romney, Janet Blanchard, Michelle Engler and other highvisibility leaders in the Campaign will visit targeted communities throughout the state, to meet with local leadership in government, business and the nonprofit sector, to urge comprehensive, collaborative planning for effectively tapping and using volunteer energies to solve local problems. Gov. Romney, for example, will be accompanied by knowledgeable business leaders and experts, and will leave local leaders with packets of the best available rationales, data and how-to materials, compiled for this Campaign by the National Volunteer Center. -- These visits will be followed by technical assistance from expert networks throughout the state, such as the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council, Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators, Michigan School Volunteer Program, Michigan Campus Compact, Michigan �Community Service Commission, and others. Assistance will be focused on establishing or strengthening the infrastructure that supports volunteering (such as local Volunteer Centers, school volunteer programs, and retired senior volunteer programs). -- Simultaneously, a statewide media campaign will showcase volunteer efforts and publicize a new (800) number where a person can call, in order to be referred to local volunteer coordinators who can place them in a satisfying service experience. The (800) number will be operated through the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, which will work with Campaign collaborating organizations such as the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to coordinate the statewide media campaign. attached: List of Campaign Committee Members ref:3/5/92,mvcexcc.sum,prglmvc,6300 �Campaign for Volunteerism Michigan Year of the Volunteer Outline of Responsibilities Role of the CO-CHAIRS OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITIEE 1.

Article for the Michie;an State Chamber of Commerce (March 5, 1992) BUSINFSS SUPPORTS VOLUNTEERING The Michigan State Chamber of Commerce has joined with leadership from business, government and the nonprofit sector to mount the Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism, which will kick off on Apri124, 1992 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. Former Governor George W. Romney serves as Honorary Chair and initiated the planning process for this statewide Campaign. He enlisted the joint leadership of Campaign Chairman Frank Popoff, CEO of Dow Chemical, and Co-Chairs Mrs. Michelle Engler and Mrs. Janet Blanchard. During the past year, Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Engler have visited communities across the state to learn how communities are already enlisting volunteers to solve social problems, and to plan an agenda for statewide voluntary action. A key focus of the Campaign will be business leadership in promoting voluntarism in every community. Governor Romney has pointed out that, "Today the State of Michigan is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than it is by any external enemy. Fortunately, Americans are joining with their co-workers, fellow church and club members, and neighbors to find ways to make a difference in the lives of those in need. But thousands more Michigan citizens must be called into service to extend the lifeline of hope and opportunity to those being swept up in the tide of social distress." In his view, business is in a key position to mobilize communities throughout the state -- impelled not only by their civic duty but for their bare survival in these difficult times! Governor Romney, Mr. Popoff, Mrs. Engler and Mrs. Blanchard will be joined in this Campaign by dozens of statewide organizations and networks, including the State Chamber of Commerce, the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Rotary International, the Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council, the Retired Senior Volunteer Corps, Urban Leagues of Michigan, the Executive Service Corps, and the United Way of Michigan. Together, these organizations will collaborate with local communities to mount a publicity and promotion campaign throughout the state, with these goals: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTEERING ACROSS THE STATE, AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTEERING �WHICH PERMEATES MICIDGAN'S LEADERSHIP, ITS INSTITUTIONS, AND ITS COMMUNITIES. Goal #1: HELP TO INCREASFJIMPROVE THE STRUCTURES WHICH SUPPORT VOLUNTEERING IN MICIDGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND CO:MMUNITIFS, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, School volunteer programs, College student volunteer bureaus, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2: HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRESS WILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER BUT DO NOT. This is a monumental task, and it can only be accomplished with the assistance and creative action of a multitude of partners. But the Campaign 1 s Coordinating Committee comprises the beginnings of just such a network. The Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism is unique in the nation. In fact, Chairman Frank Popoff recently received a letter of congratulations from President George Bush, who wrote: "By agreeing to help promote voluntarism in your state, you have donated your time and energy to a very worthwhile cause. Volunteers represent one of our Nation Is greatest resources and one of our most effective answers to the social problems that plague our communities - problems that, if left unsolved, will undermine American education and competitiveness." As a Trustee of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum - an alliance to promote giving, volunteering and an effective nonprofit sector in Michigan -- Governor Romney enlisted MNF to be the staff agency during the Campaign 1 s startup. So if you want to enlist your members in this Campaign, you can get details by contacting: Maryellen I.

Romney DATE: February 18, 1992 For your information-I expect to make an appointment with Senator Kennedy at an early date. His confirmation on the interrelationship between social problems and competitiveness is significant. Also, the importance this gives to both the commission and foundation is important. It makes what we are doing in Michigan through the Year of the Volunteer a more-needed testing of the methods that can be used nationally. Governor George W. Romney ref:rom20218.mem\programs\mvc\mjt Encl: Letter to Senator Kennedy dated January 28, 1992 Letter from Senator Kennedy dated February 6, 1992 �FEB 18 '92 11 : 14 P.1 ,/ ) J . :'),.,-....., ~ ·.... . _ .... ~ ; l ~ ~ , .

Gangs, homicides, drugs , crime, extreme pockets ot poverty, a growing unaerclass, illiteracy and inadequately educated citizens are already producing uhuns and vandals 11 and social and economic cripples at a tastGr rate than most wars and diseases includinq polio. We must reverse our declining competitiveness or these social problems will increase not di~inish. Reversing them depends most of all on national, state and community leadership, both public and private, recognizing it is a must task above partisanship. During the last Michigan Election Governor Blanchard and his Republican cpponent recoqnized this and joined during their fierce campaign with private leadership and all former Governors to organize a program to involve all citizens and institutions in the direct volunteer consequential community service required to surmount Michigan's vitally serious problems. rt will commence on April 24th at a statewide conference. similar bi-partisan national leadership is essential. The most newsworthy and effective time tor it is during the existing Presidential Campaign not afterward. Congress and the President joined in creating the Commission on National and community service and the Points of Light Foundation to help them do it. Th~ Commission and Foundation are working now to develop the collaboration you ana others Senators encouraged. This is the first time in history Congressional and Presidential leaaership has acted to strengthen volunteer community service across the nation. It would help for the nation to know it. The attached memoranda explains how to do it. It depends on you personally doing what governor Blanchard did. He and his wife are continuing to do what they can in Michigan. Could I meet with you at your earliest convenience to explain further. Perhaps afterwards you may want to include some colleagues. Your leadership and statesmanship in this is as necessary as Senator Vandenbergs' was in forging a bi-partisan foreign policy. It will impact most before next falls election regardless of how it comes out and will help eff~ctuate President Kennedy's famous admonition. �FEB 18 '92 11: 15 P.2 Page Two Senator Kennedy I will come to Washington at anytime. The suggastad convening of a national coalition and consortium is vital to combating our greatest internal threat since the civil War. Lincoln said we would never be destroyed rrom without but only from within. John steil!lbeck wrote, "No great nation ever achieved plenty, comfort and leisure and remained great." We have achieved these more than Britain or any previous great nation. Your leadership and statesmanship is key in making the Commission and Foundation successful in doing what has never been done before. With profound concern and hope, George Romney �FEB 18 '92 11 : 15 , P.3 IDWMD Ill. UNHIOV MASSACMUSI'I'r1 ~ou.N ~I()Mt riU.IIIIOOl I5I,.UIO OMN G HATCH. UTAH IIOWAI!rllll. W~. OHIO NANCY~ UI&DAW.

I could not agree with you more that we must take significant steps toward solving society' s critical problems. Homelessness, illiteraCy, drug abuse, crime, and poveny contribute to our declining competitiveness, and threaten America's position in the global economy. Moreover, these probleins have fat reaching consequences and ultimately effect the quality of life of all our fellow citizens. It is also my belief that national and community service is an excellent way to begin to reverse these negative trends. Through the work: of the National Service Commission and the Points of Light Foundation (POLF). we can renew the spirit of servin~ others and the commitment to community which have made America strong throughout our history. As the only person to sit on the Board of Directors of both the Commission and the Foundation you are in an especially unique position to address these challenges and guide this mission. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss this matter funher. Please be in contact with Christopher Murphy of my staff to set something up for the next time you will be in Washington. Cluis can be reached at (202) 224-5437. Sincerely, Edward M. Kennedy �RESOLUTION WHEREAS the American traditions of voluntarism and community service have become recognized goals of public education; and WHEREAS there is now strong evidence of the educational value of structured student service experiences; and WHEREAS opportunities for establishing community partnerships for student community service are greater now than at any time in the past, due in part to the work of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum* to launch a two-year statewide Campaign for Voluntarism (beginning April24, 1992) and the creation of the Michigan Community Service Commission; and WHEREAS a rapidly increasing number of Michigan communities have Voluntary Action Centers, which serve as cost-effective brokers for volunteers and represent an invaluable resource for student community service programs; THEREFORE the Michigan Association of School Boards urges local boards of education to provide opportunities for and encourage voluntary student community service. *MASB is founding member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum - an alliance to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in this state. ref:4/8/92,kin20408.txt,programa/mvc,6300 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes ~ Organizational Meetin~ of the Campaign for Voluntarism December 16, 1991 -- 9:00 to 12:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Conference Room 103, East Lansing) Present: Janet Blanchard, Co-chair Michelle Engler, Co-chair George Romney, Co-chair Diana Algra Edward Blews Mary Cady Aaron Cantrell Janet Clark Donna Clarke David Egner Terry Foster Elaine Gordon David Gross Charles Infante William Ives Gene Keilitz Constance Julius Ethel Kage Edward Kastner Elaine Klaus Terry Langston Maryellen Lewis Beverly McDonald James McHale Sharon Radtke Judy Ratkos Lenore Romney Brenda Sanford Cynthia Scherer Trabian Shorters Jean Tubbs Octavia Vaughn James Votruba 1. Welcome and Introductions. With the Co-chairs present, the meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Overview and Opportunity: Governor Romney reviewed the formation of the informal Michigan Volunteer Coalition in June 1990; the adoption of the Coalition as a formal initiative of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum in October 1990; and the formation by the Co-chairs and MNF of this Coordinating Committee (authorized at the June 1990 meeting) which held its first meeting in December 1990. Governor Romney also reviewed the challenge to the committee: to make volunteering an expected part of the life of every Michigan citizen. Further, Governor Romney commented on the nature of the problems currently facing not only Michigan, but the entire nation. He refers to four interrelated Challenges facing all of us: (1) equal opportunity for all, (2) U.S. competitiveness in world markets, (3) educational excellence, and (4) social problems and learning readiness. �Governor Romney went on to note that today, the United Sates is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than by any external enemy. Each of us, individually and within our groups, must contribute to finding permanent solutions to the problems that increasingly have a stranglehold on our society. Our response must begin with a serious. honest assessment of the terrible nature and scope of the problems which we face. Second, we must recognize the these problems transcend partisan boundaries. Third, we must avoid reliance on a "ma~:ic bullet" to solve our problems overnight. Fourth, we require transformational leadership that calls each of us to a higher level. Only by doing this can we rebuild the social fabric of our communities. Thus, it is vital that we engage citizens in effective community service. In order to do this we must provide them with the leadership, the infrastructure, and the models to do so. Governor Romney indicated that the Michigan Year of the Volunteer is in an excellent position to serve as a model for the nation. He quoted from a letter from President Bush to Frank Popoff of Dow Chemical "This campaign will have significance far beyond the Wolverine State. Indeed, as we plan a national program to increase the number, visibility, and effectiveness of volunteer centers across America, we will draw much insight from you methods and experience in Michigan." 3. Progress Re.port: At the request of the Co-Chairs, M. Lewis presented a brief report on the history of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, noting that the board of MNF had formally authorized the Coordinating Committee on Voluntarism as a committee of the Forum and authorized staff to provide necessary support services. M. Lewis reviewed the Committee's progress over the last year and current plans, as outlined in the Subcommittee Charts. She reported that Governor Engler will designate April1992-April1993 as the Year of the Volunteer. This effort has key, visible, bi-partisan and business support. Not only will it be a celebration of voluntarism, but it will also assist the development of a lasting infrastructure for sustained community service efforts. Therefore, it will build upon existing efforts in order to showcase and encourage future collaboration in the area of voluntarism. The committee then reviewed the purpose and goals for the Campaign for Voluntarism. After discussion, the committee adopted the following language: PURPOSE: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTARISM ACROSS THE STATE OF MICIDGAN AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTEERING WHICH PERMEATES MICIDGAN'S LEADERSIDP, ITS INSTITUTIONS AND ITS COMMUNITIES. GOAL 1: Help to increase/improve the structures which support volunteerine in Micliiean's institutions and communities: especially VOLUNTEER CENTERS, but also including: school volunteer programs, college student volunteer bureaus, workplace volunteer councils and incentives, and many others. 2 �GOAL 2: Help to increase volunteerine. especially in the 35% of citizens who express willingness to volunteer but do not. M. Lewis described several commitments which have already been made as part of the Year of the Volunteer. They are as follows: the State Chamber will develop a series of CEO articles and interviews which promote voluntarism from a business perspective; the NSFRE chapters will link arms with other organizations to promote giving in new and innovative ways; and the MASA and the MASB will be working with COOL and the UWM to develop a Day of Caring in the Spring of '92 to build on COOL's successful Into the Streets program in November of 1991. 4. Re.port of the Michi~an Community Service Commission: M. Engler described the recently-created Governor's Commission on Community Service. The commission was created in response to the National and Community Service Act passed by Congress in 1990. Under the Act, states may apply for funds which will be made available for youth community service programs and efforts. The commission has met twice and will use the information which came out of the Youth Service Michigan meetings held during the summer of 1991. As it stands currently, the state has until mid-January to file a letter of intent, notifying the National Community Service Commission that the State of Michigan intends to file a state application. Under the Act, if a state chooses not to apply for funds, organizations within the state may then apply individually. M. Engler noted that the State of Michigan will definitely apply for funding. The deadline for the actual application will be in March, with the awards to follow in June of 1992. After discussion and a duly seconded motion, the committee unanimously agreed to draft a resolution of support for the Governor's Commission on Community Service's efforts to secure funding under the National Community Service Act. E. Blews will draft the resolution. 5. Report on Michigan Volunteer Centers: J. Blanchard reported on her informational visits to the existing volunteer centers around Michigan. J. Blanchard personally visited nine of the thirteen centers, and spoke with the directors of the others via telephone. During her meetings, she met with the directors of the centers and their staffs. She was briefed on the internal workings of the centers, their current and past projects. She noted that all centers are different, reflecting the personalities of their staffs and the communities which they serve. Without hesitation, she noted that the centers provide a tremendous service to their communities and to the State of Michigan, often with limited staff, financial resources, equipment and facilities. The directors and their staffs should be commended on their dedication, relentless energy, creativity and tireless service to the State. During her visits, J. Blanchard received several suggestions/recommendations on how the voluntary action centers could be strengthened. They are as follows: 3 �1. The volunteer centers need consultation and technical assistance in fundraising. 2. The volunteer centers need consultation and technical assistance in public relations. 3. The volunteer centers need assistance in how to generate press for events and how to get the cooperation of the local press. 4. The volunteer centers would benefit from a generic video and/or slide presentation for the centers to use to promote volunteerism. 5. The volunteer centers would benefit from a statewide speakers bureau for the volunteer centers. 6. The volunteer centers would benefit from grant writing seminars, and from assistance from local citizens with expertise in this area. 7. The volunteer centers would benefit from essential equipment to prepare them for the 21st century. 8. The volunteer centers would benefit from the assistance of a Michigan college or university to evaluate the affect of volunteerism on a community. 9. The Directors of the existing centers could serve as consultants for the new centers. 10. Foundations should be encouraged to fund projects for a longer period of time and then to decrease the grant award gradually. 11. This Volunteer Coalition could sponsor a conference on volunteerism in cooperation with the volunteer centers (A Vision for Volunteerism for the year 2000) or the Michigan Nonprofit Forum could add a voluntarism component to the grantmakers/grantseekers conference. [Such a program is already a regular part of the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar. The 1992 Seminar will kick off the Year of the Volunteer in April.] J. Blanchard also made the following general recommendations: 1. A targeted marketing program is needed to entice youth to volunteer. 2. Volunteerism needs more visibility. 3. Schools should include volunteering as a regular part of a student's education. 4 �4. State Government needs to take the lead in the area of voluntarism. Following J. Blanchard' report, S. Radtke presented a brief sketch on the functions of a well-developed volunteer center. She also discussed the mission of the newly created association, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM): "To strengthen existing volunteer centers; to provide leadership in developing new volunteer centers; and to promote and strengthen volunteerism statewide." S. Radtke then reviewed the list of existing volunteer centers, as well as the list of communities which are currently developing volunteer centers. A. Cantrell commented on the progress of these developing centers. He noted that, although they are all at various stages of the developmental process, in general they are proceeding very well. In fact, Holland and Muskegon should be operational in the very near future. S. Radtke also noted that nine of the existing volunteer centers have received a grant of computer equipment from ffiM. This new equipment will be in place shortly, and the United Way of Michigan will be providing staff training after the first of the year. 6. Action on General Recommendations: In light of J. Blanchard's recommendations, and the information presented by S. Radtke and A. Cantrell, the committee authorized the creation of a sub-committee to work with J. Blanchard and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan. 7 . Small Group Discussions of Campaign Strate~es: The committee broke into 3 small groups and moved to their discussion areas. Each participant was asked: How can your organization/ network use this Campaign to advance your work in voluntarism? What activities are you already planning that can dovetail with the Campaign for greater impact? In what other ways can your organization help this Campaign through collaboration? 8. Reports of Small Groups and Discussion: Due to time constraints the committee agreed that the Co-Chairs would report to each other on the outcomes of their small group discussions. Following are brief summaries of those discussions: Small Group #1 : Group members discussed ways that schools, teachers, students and parents could be enlisted in the campaign. Members felt there should be a strong, initial statewide promotion, followed by a regional focus. Presentations to the regions could be made through the community colleges' down link system. A working/discussion session could follow for leaders 5 �within each region. Efforts should also be made to convene student body leaders from both private and public colleges to discuss the value of community service at the college level. In conjunction, the program should bring together current and future teachers to focus on community service and the role they can play in encouraging youth to volunteer. Small ~roup #2: Group members discussed ways that United Ways, voluntary action centers, and other organizations could benefit from the campaign. The group agreed that the state should be divided into coordinated regions. The Year of the Volunteer could focus on different topics each month to not only showcase voluntarism, but also to educated the general public about its vital importance. Towards this goal, the group discussed the possibility of recruiting executives from corporations to serve on the Committee for one year to head up the various working groups (such as promotion and PR, longrange planning and funding initiatives). Small Group #3: Group members discussed ways that business leaders, Rotaries, and other service clubs could be enlisted in the campaign, so that it advanced their service goals while assisting the overall campaign. A series of speakers at rotary and other service club meetings would be a constructive way to educate business leaders about and enlist their active leadership in their communities, particularly promoting workplace voluntarism. Many service clubs have their own yearly themes, which represent a potential connection with volunteer initiatives. The Campaign's publicity should reach in-house journals, so that companies can showcase their employees who participate in the campaign. In addition to the Chambers, Rotaries and retired executives now represented, this group should reach out to Kiwanis, Lions, Jaycees and many others. Each member of the group took responsibility for tracking down the names for this effort. 9. Campai2n Strategy: Next Steps and Assignments: M. Lewis asked all committee members to fill out their work group sign-up sheet so that work groups can be identified and begin to meet. Staff will work to develop these work groups. 10. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 12:10 p.m. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[NOT YET ADOPTED] Minutes ~ Campai~n for Voluntarism Committee Meetin~ April 13, 1992 -- 9:00 to 12:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Big 10 C Room 103, East Lansing) Present: Michelle Engler, Co-chair George Romney, Co-chair Diana Algra Barbara Bradford Mary Cady Aaron Cantrell Robert Church Christopher Clark Janet Clark Donna Clarke Darin Day Sara Erikson Bettye Thomas Gilkey Elaine Gordon Philip Guyeskey Charles Infante Ethel Kage Justin King Terry Langston Maryellen Lewis William McCann Cindy Newman Sharon Radtke Carolyn Rieks Brenda Sanford Cynthia Scherer Lester Schick Trabian Shorters Glenn Stevens S. Mark Terman Robert Viera Pamela Warwick Patricia Waxweiler Scott Wheeler Darryl White Janice Williams Herbert Yamanishi 1. Welcome and Introductions. Co-chair Michelle Engler called the meeting to order at 9:10a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Restatement of the Challen~e: Governor Romney reviewed the challenge to the committee: to make volunteering an expected part of the life of every Michigan citizen. Further, Governor Romney commented on the nature of the problems currently facing not only Michigan, but the entire nation. He refers to four interrelated challenges facing all of us: (1) equal opportunity for all, (2) U.S. competitiveness in world markets, (3) educational excellence, and (4) social problems and learning readiness. Governor Romney went on to note that today, the United Sates is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than by any external enemy. Each of us, individually and within our groups, must contribute to finding permanent solutions to the problems that increasingly have a stranglehold on our society. Our response must �begin with a serious, honest assessment of the terrible nature and scope of the problems which we face. Second, we must recognize the these problems transcend partisan boundaries. Third, we must avoid reliance on a "magic bullet" to solve our problems overnight. Fourth, we require transformational leadership that calls each of us to a higher level. Only by doing this can we rebuild the social fabric of our communities. Thus, it is vital that we engage citizens in effective community service. In order to do this we must provide them with the leadership, the infrastructure, and the models to do so. Governor Romney indicated that the Michigan Year of the Volunteer is in an excellent position to serve as a model for the nation. He noted the effort has bipartisan support within Michigan, support from the President, as well as support from leading congressional figures such as Senator Edward Kennedy. He also mentioned the professional support the Campaign has received. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has provided an initial two-year grant to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan for technical assistance for voluntary action centers and an (800) telephone number for volunteering ( also supported by a grant from Michigan Bell), and a grant to the Points of Light Foundation for professional assistance from Pam Warwick. 3. Update on Pro~ress : M. Lewis reported on the progress of the Campaign to date. She reviewed commitments that partner organizations have made in response to the Campaign. For example, the Executive Service Corps is working to identify a public relations consultant to assist with the Campaign. The Michigan Public Broadcaster's Association will devote time during their annual meetings in May and June to the Year of the Volunteer to generate interest among their members. Prudential Securities will promote a voluntarism event in each Michigan headquarters' city. AAA of Michigan is considering enlisting the company 's local managers to take significant leadership roles in the area of voluntarism. United Community Services of Detroit will link arms with business and county government to promote a Detroit Year of the Volunteer. The Michigan Association of School Boards passed a unique resolution to encourage and strengthen student community service around the state. And the Junior League of Michigan is reviewing a resolution to promote the creation of corporate volunteer councils in their nine chapter cities, while at the same time working to support their local VACs. 4. Review of the Role of Campai~n Committee Members: M. Lewis reviewed the draft Role of the Co-Chairs and Role of the Organizations represented on the Campaign Committee. After discussion, the committee approved these roles as follows: Role of the CD-CHAIRS OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 1. To issue the challenge, including goals and a strategic framework for the Campaign. (CATALYST) 2. To convene the Campaign Committee, including diverse, broadly-based and inclusive representation and involvement. (LEADERSIDP DEVELOPMENT) �3. To publicly support and focus attention on the Year of the Volunteer, the importance of volunteering for addressing serious social problems, and the need for solid community infrastructures to support and sustain volunteering. (VALIDATION AND MEDIA ATTENTION) 4. To voice the Campaign's accomplishments at strategic points in the Campaign. (RECOGNITION) Role of ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTED ON THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE 1. To introduce the Campaign to their constituencies; to encourage priority attention and involvement by their local chapters and constituents. 2. To use their networks to encourage support of Campaign goals in local communities. 3. Where not already in place, to advocate for the Campaign goals to become long-term commitments by their organizations and networks. 4. To share concrete examples of how their constituencies can help, while acknowledging the pivotal role of local leadership and commitment. 5. To participate in the Campaign Committee meetings and communicate developments and opportunities to constituencies. 6. To seek and pursue opportunities for collaboration/partnership with other Campaign Committee organizations, in order to leverage maximum involvement and support. To enlist other network organizations to join the Campaign. 7. To serve as the information hub on the Campaign for their constituencies. 5. Re,ports on Small Group Discussions: Each small group representative reported on what each member organization will do to utilize the Campaign to advance volunteering through their members and networks. Group # 1: D. Clarke reported for group 1. She noted the group felt it would be important to supplement the Governor's proclamation for the Year of the Volunteer with a Joint Resolution of the Senate and the House. The organizations will use materials prepared for the kickoff on April 24 to contact local media. Individual organizations will also collaborate with other local organizations during the Year of the Volunteer. Organizations will promote staff voluntarism and "volunteer friendly" environments. Organizations will use the Campaign for Voluntarism logo and will promote voluntarism events in their newsletters and other communications. �Group #2: M. Lewis reported for group 2. She noted specifically the Flint NSFRE chapter will devote its next meeting to voluntarism and will work to promote a volunteer event in May. The West Michigan NSFRE chapter will devote a chapter meeting to voluntarism and will focus on voluntarism at National Philanthropy Day in October. She reported on a pending resolution by all Michigan NSFRE chapters to offer pro bono assistance to VACs. Further, the Community Action Agency Association will focus efforts on reaching those 35% who want to volunteer, but don't know where to go, especially nontraditional volunteers. Group #3: Darin Day reported for group 3. He noted organizations would examine their own volunteer processing systems. One outcome of the Year of the Volunteer will be an increase in the number of individuals volunteering. Agencies must be ready to accept, process and orient these individuals to provide them with a rewarding and valuable experience. 6. Identification of Next Steps. based on Re,ports of Sma11 Groups: Committee members were asked to sign up for follow-up work groups based on promotion and public relations, regional events and long-range planning. Each member will fax back the questionnaire before Friday, for inclusion in the Kickoff on April 24. MNF will follow-up with work group next steps. 7. Schedule Quarterly Meetings of the Campaign Committee: MNF will gather potential quarterly meeting dates from the co-chairs and circulate among the committee for response and scheduling. 8. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 11:50 a.m. ref:mvc20413.min,com/mvc,6300 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Maryellen J. Lewis, Executive Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is a statewide alliance to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Mtchigan s noeprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism an philanthropy in the state. 1 1 Background. In response to challenges facing the nation s nonprofit sector, volunteer leaders and executives of ten statewide organizations concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to form the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially designed to convene members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has evolved into an enti!¥ charged with achieving a new awareness and increased capacity of Michigan s nonprofit sector, and with interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working together with existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy m Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a field-specific trade association competin_g for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. fustead) the Micliigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the first time, a statewide mechamsm for dialogue, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum brmgs together local and statewide leaders of nonprofit organizations, as well as public and private funders and tax-supported mstitutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasingly-recognized stalCe. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism philanthropY. and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public goods, wliich broadly affect the state's economy1 polity and quality of life, and which therefore ment careful analysis and planmng, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable mvestment. �Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts ana humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) 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. areas: To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five 1. Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local, regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stake-holders; it serves as bot~ a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. 2. Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles and disseminates current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge base for public policy and practice in the state. 3. Public Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that affect the sector as a whole. 4. Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources across the sector and facilitates collaborative planning and action. 5. Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's s~keho.lders together for day-long presentations and diSCUSSIOnS. �:MNF Board of Trustees The Forum's Board of Trustees serves as the governing body. Although it is not intended to represent all stakeholders -- an impossible task -- it does brmg together a small number of statewide organizations and their elected member representatives, to achieve a broad reach into many fields.

NOT YET ADOPTED Minutes of the Finance Committee Meetin2 Monday April 3. 1992 - 9:00 to 12:00 (at the United Way of Michigan, 300 N. Washington Square, Suite 405, Lansing) Present: R. Ivory, Chair S. Johns-Boehme M. Lewis H . Yamanishi 1. Welcome and Call to Order. Chairman R. Ivory called the meeting to order at 9:10. 2. Review of the Minutes. Minutes of the March 10 conference call were adopted. 3. Review of the Quarterly Financial Report. Robert Ivory reviewed the 3rd quarterly financial statement, pointing out the following : a. Costs under projections. Expenditures are far behind revenues, largely because of the transfer of unexpended Kellogg funds from 1990-91 , but also because several programs only became operational in the third quarter (such as the Summit, student interns, the newsletter, the membership drive, published MNF papers, D&O insurance, audit, and some personnel benefits). Savings this year are expected in nearly all categories, especially salaries and benefits, contract services, and office operations. By June 30, based on two quarters of full expenditures, the 1992-93 budget will much more closely reflect real costs. b. Income under projections. Actual income does not match budget projections. A revised revenues proposal will be discussed today. In addition, fundraising strategies to cover projected shortfalls will be discussed. c. Benefits. Benefits expenditures are far below budget, because MNF' s fringe benefits package has not yet been completed. A proposal on fringe benefits is also on the agenda. d. Evaluation. The evaluation is now underway but is expected to total $10,000 for FY91-92. �e. Software. Computer Software/Office Operations exceeds that annual budget for this line (but not the budget category) because of the necessary purchase of dBASE Network Software. The committee discussed the matter and agreed that, within budget categories, changes need not go before the Executive Committee or the Board (which approve a less-detailed budget of only the budget categories). Only changes between categories need to be taken to the Executive Committee and the Board. However, the Executive should continue to inform the Treasurer and the Finance Committee for their review, in advance whenever possible. f. Posta2e. As the Executive had discussed earlier with the Treasurer, costs of postage will be considerably higher than originally projected: the newsletter was not previously budgeted (see attachment), and the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar registration shortfall required extensive follow-up mailings. With a projected increase of $4500, the committee approved the in-category transfer of $3000 from Copying and $1500 from Telephone. g. Staff Travel. The Executive asked for flexibility within this category, so that total funds can be moved between lines (Travel Mileage to Travel Air, for example) throughout the year. The committee approved allowing the Executive flexibility within this category, with the provision that she will inform the Treasurer and the Finance Committee for their review at the earliest possible date. h. Accounts Payable. As soon as possible, MNF will record predictable anticipated expenditures (such as annual Workers Compensation payments and quarterly billings for phone, copying and fax from MSU) as monthly Accounts Payable, in order to track a more accurate cash-flow. 4. Update on Fringe Benefits. M. Lewis reviewed the committee's previous decision to increase fringe benefits to the budgeted 20% . Since several insurance companies have expressed little interest in insuring MNF for short-term disability, she suggested that MNF develop a self-insurance policy similar to the United Way of Michigan's policy of selfinsurance for short-tenn disability. The committee approved and B. Ivory agreed to forward their new language and procedures. 5. Purchase of a 486/33 computer for MNF. The Executive recommended, and the committee approved the purchase of a fourth computer and related peripherals for MNF. For this purpose, the committee agreed to recommend to the Executive Committee that $4000 be transferred from the Personnel line to Computer Hardware Purchase. The Executive will keep the Treasurer and committee informed for their review. EXECUTIVE'S RATIONALE: MNF now has two 286 computers, one 386, and a laptop (used also as the Executive's desktop computer). Now that MNF has an additional office, student interns have been added. At any one time, there are at least 5, often 7 persons at work. Student interns' computer work is extensive, but does not �require high-powered computers, so a 286 is adequate, when available for them to use. However, the work of the Administrative Secretary - database filemerges, merge letters, network management -- and of the Administrative Assistant -accounting, data analysis and desktop publishing --is too time-consuming to be left to the 286s. For example, an accounting task that is nearly instantaneous on our single 386 may take 5-10 minutes to be processed on the 286. Right now, these staff members juggle their work between the 386 and 286 machines. We can now purchase a 486 (200 mgs, 8mgs of RAM, color monitor) with math co-processor for less than the 286 (40 mgs, 1 mg of RAM, monochrome monitor) cost us 18 months ago. This machine will free up a second 286 for use by temporary clerical assistants and student interns, and will greatly facilitate efficient use of scarce staff time. The Kellogg Foundation has been extremely supportive ofMNF's use of grant dollars for hardware, which will be much more difficult to fund in the future. 6. Review of Fundraisin~ Goals. After some discussion, the committee adopted the following recommendations to the Executive Committee: #1: The board of trustees should adopt a policy urging full personal participation by every Trustee in MNF' s work. #2: Upon adoption, the Executive Committee should request the Chairman to write a letter to each Trustee, encouraging them to make a personal contribution. #3: The Executive Committee should urge each Trustee to enlist new MNF Associate Members and Network Associates. The Finance Committee also agreed that the Executive should put together a packet for trustees to use in recruitment, including "boilerplate" language for letters and several brochures. The Executive was also asked to prepare a list of potential Network Members for the trustees to sign up for at the board meeting. 7. Fundraisin~ Goals and Strategies for Fy1992-93. The committee reviewed possible grant opportunities and strategies for FY1992-93. Members agreed that a brainstorming meeting would be appropriate, including R. Ivory, M. Lewis, John Lore, Russ Mawby, and Dottie Johnson. Members requested the Executive to set up such a meeting as soon as possible. 8. Salary Reviews. The committee approved the recommendation that salary reviews should coincide with MNF's fiscal year. �9. Schedulin~ of Meetings through June 1993. Committee members agreed on these dates as possible 1993 meeting dates, to be confirmed with other members: January 14 & 15, and April15 & 16. 10. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 11:50. attachments: Quarterly Financial Statement Fundraising Goals to Achieve before July 1, 1992 Budget Planning Notes 4/2/92 Draft Revised Cash Budget for Years 2&3 rcf:4/17/92,fin20403 .min,cmlfin,OlOO �--Michigan Nonprofit Forum Summary Income/Expense Statement For the Period Ending March 31, 1992 /As of M~~rch 30, 1992) Actual Current Month Actual Yearto-Dote Budgetto-Dote Annual Budget R£\IENUES General Contributions Founding Member Contr Other Boord Contributions Interest & Dividends Grants & Contracts Program Fees Membership Dues Reimbursements MNF Subscr/ Publ Income Miscellaneous Income Transfers In 500.00 72.60 175.00 0.00 0.00 134,260.19 7,622.28 7,499.97 1,500.03 3,750.03 156.061.75 0.00 1,500.03 749.97 2.250.00 0.00 12.210.75 193,144.81 10,163.00 10,000.00 2.000.00 5,000.00 204,969.00 50,000.00 2,000.00 1,000.00 3,000.00 0.00 16.281.00 304,413.00 7,607.59 70,744.21 86,717.94 116,624.00 1,847.96 10,464.89 20,082.78 26.m.oo 3,546.63 6,446.53 22,756.28 39,675.00 9,565.41 23.264.14 33.343.22 43,286.00 170.00 531.10 1,125.00 1,500.00 2.316.03 5.237.28 7,898.31 45,031.00 712.44 4,763.73 8,310.87 11,081.00 180.00 1,036.25 1,125.00 1.500.00 2,743.28 4,952.38 4,615.47 9,379.00 2,049.00 4,492.93 7,169.94 9,560.00 TOTAL EXPENSES 30,738.34 131,933.44 193,144.81 304.413.00 BALANCE 13,739.37 <2.326.75> 0.00 0.00 Total Revenues 850.00 0.00 0.00 2.05 13,346.92 2,330.00 450.00 0.00 20.00 0.00 0.00 16,998.97 950.00 '.450.00 1.250.00 1,970.31 120,122.28 2.no.oo EXPENSES SALAR1ES Total Salaries BENEFITS Total Benefits CONTRACT SERVICES Total Contract Services ( OFFICE OPERATIONS Total Office Operations OCCUPANCY Total Occupancy MEETINGS Total Meetings STAFF TRAVEL Total Travel STAFF/ OOARD DEVELOPMENT Total Stoff/Boord Develop FURNITURE/EQUIPMENT Total Furniture/Equipment MISCELLANEOUS Total Miscellaneous �Michigan Nonprofit Forum Income/Expense Statement For the Period Ending March 31, 1992 (As of March 31, 1992) Actual Current !Jonth Actual Yearto-Dole Budqetto- Dole Annual Budqel REVENUES General Contributions Foundinq !Jember Conlr Other Boord Contributions Interest & Dividends Grants & Contracts Proqrom Fees !Jembership Dues Reimbursements IJNF Subscr/Publ Income !Jiscelloneous Income Transfers In Total Revenues 850.00 0.00 0.00 2.05 13,346.92 2,330.00 450.00 0.00 20.00 0.00 0.00 16,998.97 950.00 5.450.00 2.250.00 1,970.31 120,122.28 2,770.00 500.00 72.60 175.00 0.00 0.00 134,260.19 7,622.28 7,499.97 1,500.03 3,750.03 156.061.75 0.00 1,500.03 749.97 2.250.00 0.00 12.210.75 193,144.81 10,163.00 10,000.00 2.000.00 5.000.00 204,969.00 50,000.00 2.000.00 1,000.00 3,000.00 0.00 16,281.00 304,413.00 5.615.38 453.75 1,538.46 7,607.59 56.984.57 2,714.27 11,045.37 70,744.21 60,176.97 10,350.00 16,190.97 86,717.94 80,236.00 13,800.00 22,588.00 116,624.00 371.38 0.00 0.00 581.98 0.00 894.60 0.00 1,847.96 3.227.28 0.00 0.00 5,411 .93 224.83 1,600.85 0.00 10,464.89 4,051.53 0.00 1,959.75 5,956.47 1,333.53 1.m.50 5,004.00 20,082.78 5,402.00 0.00 2.613.00 7,942..00 1,778.00 2,370.00 6,672.00 26,m.oo 3.546.63 0.00 0.00 3,546.63 4,285.43 0.00 2.161.10 6,446.53 3,243.78 14,141.25 5.371 .25 22,756.28 14,325.00 18,855.00 6,495.00 39,675.00 1,054.55 89.95 1.013.43 2,911.20 142.25 125.00 3,731.63 497.40 0.00 0.00 9,565.41 3,492.96 1,835.55 3,983.17 3,054.63 1,854.99 816.00 6.274.86 1,467.59 379.39 105.00 23,264.14 4,375.53 1,092.78 7,873.72 6.897.22 2,025.00 764.28 4,806.78 4,367.97 164.97 974.97 33,343.22 5.834.00 1,457.00 10,165.00 8,863.00 2,395.00 1,019.00 6,209.00 5,824.00 220.00 1,300.00 43.286.00 170.00 170.00 531.10 531.10 1,125.00 1,125.00 1,500.00 1,500.00 725.66 973.28 617.09 1,089.56 3,530.63 617.09 863.28 3,174.75 1,855.53 4,151.00 32.233.00 5,974.00 EXPENSES SAlARIES Administrative Solories Student Interns Clerical Solories Total Solories BENEFITS !Jedicol Insurance Life Insurance Disability Insurance FlCA Taxes Unemployment Taxes Workers Compensation Retirement Total Benefits CONTRACT SERVICES Professionol Services Evaluation Services Clerical Services Total Contract Services OFFICE OPERATIONS Office Supplies Computer Software Cop~nq Printinq/Publishinq Subscriptions/Publications Orqonizolion Dues Posloqe/Shipping Telephone & FAX Advertising/Public Relation Equipment !Joinlenonce Total Office Operations OCCUPANCY Stoff Porkinq Tolol Occupancy IJEE11NGS !Jeetinq Accommodations !Jeelinq !Jeols !Jeelinq -

Recommendations of the Finance Committee adopted by the Executive Committee on April 15. 1992 I. Recommendations on MNF Fringe Benefits Package: #1: MNF's fringe benefits package should be completed to the level of 20% of salary as soon as possible, before the end ofFY1991-921 Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY1991-92, any balance of the 20% for each employee this year should be placed in a Tax-Exempt Annuity for each. #2: MNF' s fringe benefits package should include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL benefits, selected on an annual basis (at the beginning of each fiscal year) by each employee and totaling 20% of salary for each. _\ v ,} uJ J~O-\) ~ ~CY REQUIRED BENEFITS should not only include tl!..~egally-required) '\ medical/dental-,warkers compensation, unemploymen~edicare, but also short-term disability (probably covered in-house, based on the United Way of Michigan model), coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional long-term disability insurance. OPTIONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total up to 20% of salary) should include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. IT. Recommendations Concerning Salary Review #1: Salary review should coincide with the fiscal year, to accommodate financial planning. ill. Recommendations for Computer Purchase #1: MNF should purchase a 486/33 desktop computer and related peripherals (including a tape backup, fax/modem and hook-up to the MNF "local area network"), to accommodate MNF's accounting, desktop publishing, database management and data analysis. For this purpose, $4000 of unexpended revenues should be transferred from the Personnel line to the Equipment line. (Actual purchase will be reviewed with the Finance Committee Chairman, as with any major MNF purchase.) �RATIONALE: MNF now has two 286 computers (of a type which cannot be upgraded to 386 or 486 --Compaq Deskpro), one 386 and a laptop (which doubles as the Executive's desktop computer). At any one time, there are at least 5, often 7 persons at work. Student interns' computer work is extensive, but does not require high-powered computers, so a 286 is adequate, when available for them to use. However, the work of the Administrative Secretary -- database filemerges, merge letters, network management -- and of the Administrative Assistant-- accounting, data analysis and desktop publishing-- it too timeconsuming to be left to the 286s. For example, an accounting task that is nearly instantaneous on our single 386 may take 5-10 minutes to be processed on the 286. Right now, these staff members juggle their work between the 386 and 286 machines, sometimes postponing critical work until after-hours when schedules compete heavily. We can now purchase a 486/33 computer (200 mgs, 8 mgs of RAM, color monitor) with math coprocessor for less than the 286 cost 18 months ago (with only 40 mgs, 1 mg of RAM, monochrome monitor). This machine would eliminate the need to juggle machines between two key staff members and would free up the second 286 for use by temporary clerical assistants and student interns. Most important, it would greatly facilitate efficient use of scarce staff time. IV. Recommendations concerning Fundraising for F¥1991-92 #1: The MNF Board should adopt a formal policy urging every Trustee to make a personal financial commitment to MNF's work. 112: Upon adoption of this policy of 100% participation, the Board should request that Chairman Mawby write to each Trustee, inviting and encouraging them to make a personal financial commitment to MNF's work. #3: The board and chairman should also urge each Trustee to assume the additional responsibility of enlisting new MNF Associate Members and Network Members. ref:4/9/92,exe20415.fin,cornmitte/exec,Ol00 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The FASB staff is no~ drafting an Exposure Draft of a proposed Statement that ~auld incorporate these decisions. ~e plan to hold our next task force meeting on June 29, 1992 and expect to issue this Exposure Draft during the third quarter. ...- During April and May the Board and staff ~ill be revisiting issue ~ raised by the October 1990 Exposure Draft on account1ng o contributions. For example, ~ pril 8, 13, and 15 the Board ~ill be considering matters about the recognition of pledges . The April 13 meeting ~ill be ~ith Professor Gordon T .

That meeting, ~hich is educational, ~ill begin at 1:00 p.m. and, like other Board meetings, it is open to public observation. Please feel free to call me at extension 213 if you have any questions. Sincerely, G(~~ ~sio Ronald Pro j ect Manager RJB:5571B !\ �2 Statement of Activities The Board tentatively concluded that: 1. At a minimum a statement of activities provided by a not-for-profit organization should: a. Include all revenues, expenses, gains, and losses for the period b. Display the amount of the change in net assets for the period c. Display the amount of the change in each of three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. 2. Revenues and expenses generally should be reported gross; gains and losses may be reported net. 3. Revenues, expenses, gains, and losses should be classified according to whether they increase or decrease umestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted net assets. Other events, such as expirations of donor-imposed restrictions, that simultaneously increase one class of net assets and decrease another (reclassifications) should be reported separately from items of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. 4. Revenues generally should be reported as increases in unrestricted net assets, unless the use of the assets received is limited by donor-imposed stipulations. Contributions should be presumed to be unrestricted revenues in the absence of (1) explicit donor stipulations or (2) circumstances surrounding those receipts that make clear the donor's implicit restrictton on use. Donor-restricted contributions should be reported as restricted support that increases temporarily or permanently restricted net assets. a. Unconditional pledges with payments due in future periods should be reported as restricted support unless explicit donor stipulations or circumstances surrounding the receipt of the pledges make clear that the donor intended that they be utilized in the current year. b. Gifts of cash or other assets to acquire long-lived assets and gifts of long-lived assets should be reported as restricted support unless explicit donor stipulations or circumstances surrounding the recetpt of the donated assets make clear that the donor intended that they be sold to generate cash proceeds for unrestricted use. 5. Expenses generally should be reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. 6. Gains and losses recognized on investments and other assets should be reported as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets unless their use is temporarily or permanently restricted by explicit donor stipulations or by law. For example, net unrealized and realized gains on investment assets of endowments would be reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets unless their use is restricted to a specified purpose or future period. Likewise, gains on investment assets of endowments would be reported as an increase in permanently restricted net assets to the extent that the governing board determines they must be permanently retained in accordance with its interpretation of the relevant law. display\teatcoa.doc 3/18/92 �4 The three illustrative statements of activities generally show items of revenues and gains followed by reclassifications (of restricted amounts), a subtotal, expenses, and losses. Those items could be arranged in other ways and other subtotals may be included. For example, the items may be sequenced as (a) revenues, e~enses, gains and losses, and reclassifications shown last or (b) cenain revenues, less drrectly related expenses, followed by a subtotal, then other revenues, other expenses, gains and losses, and reclassifications. The three illustrative statements of activities report expenses by function. Although natural classification is not required, a statement of activities may repon expenses by natural classification with expenses by functional classification disclosed in the notes to financial statements. A statement of cash flows is illustrated using the direct method of reponing cash flow from operating activities; however, the indirect method may be used. The illustrations include sample note disclosures. Notes A, B, and C provide required information about the nature and amount of restrictions imposed by donors. The disclosures provided by notes D, E, and F are encouraged. display\tentcon.doc 3/18/fJl �WORKING DRAFT Example1 Not-for-Profit Org1nizatlon A Statement of Actlvitlee YNr ended June 30, 1tX1 (in thousands) Changes in unrestricted net assets: Revenues and gains: Contributions Fees Investment Income on endowment Other investment Income Net unrealized and realized gains on endowment Net unrealized and realized gains on other Investments Other Total unrestricted revenues and gains Net assets released from restrictions (Note D) Total unrestricted revenues, gains and other support Expenses and losses: Program A Program B Program C Management and general Fund raising Total expenses (Note E) Fire loss $ 8,500 5,400 3,600 2,850 4,428 3,800 150 28,728 15,220 43,948 13,100 8,540 5,760 2,420 2,150 31 ,970 80 . .:I.rti=!:;~~-.:·.....-..,m;:::tEm:mm::mmm;;mnwitt:~r:::tnW?Mtimtnmwrmm:u:;:~~@i· ·=·=· ·=·=· ~·~=i Changes In temporarily restricted net assets: Contributions Investment income on annuity and life Income agreements Investment Income on end<Mment Net unrealized and realized gains on endowment Net assets released from restrictions (Note 0) 8,250 180 2,400 2,952 (15,220) -~~=:h.~~iifliiiJ:::mrifiiMJHt:urmwlF1Iw:rmw.m:nnr£NllT&ENih·· · =· · .u;li Changes in permanently restricted nat assets: Contributions Investment Income on endowment 280 120 ~~~~~-ed·..and ·· realized .. ~ns on, Ji(ai.:@;;~G:Gi.;i~ilii@llifJ@iltm:flf.f®.j@[iff1\l~i:fi8¥Dr . &~ .,._ . : .,..

Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the statement of activities. State law allows the board of trustees to appropriate a prudent portion of net appreciation after considering the Orgamzauon's long and short-term needs, present and anticipated financial requirements, expected total return on its investments, price level trends, and general economic conditions. The Organization's endowment management policies are designed to allow spending of a prudent amount of net appreciation and to preserve the real value of the endowment portfolio over time, in accordance with the board of trustees' interpretation of the requirements of state law. To meet these objectives and requirements, net appreciation is retained permanently in an amount necessary to adjust the historical dollar value of original endowment gifts by the change in the Consumer Price Index. The policy also limits current spending of endowment return to 5% of the average of the market value at the end of tlie previous three years. This spending policy utilizes investment income first and makes up any shortfall from unappropriated net appreciation on the portfolio. At June 30, 19X1, Sxx,xxx of unappropriated net appreciation is included in unrestricted net assets and Syy,yyy is included in temporarily restricted net assets.

Minutes of the Finance Committee Meetin~ January 14. 1992 - 9:00 to 12:00 (at the United Way of Michigan, 300 N. Washington Square #405, Lansing) Present: Robert E. Ivory, Chairman Herbert Yarnanishi Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: Because of the snow delay, today's guest and some committee members were unable to attend. The meeting was called to order at 9:15. 2. Review of the Second Quarterly Financial Statement. a. Changes Approved. The committee approved two line-item transfers: - $3000 will be moved from Administrative Salaries to Clerical Services, to cover the temporary secretary hired during the search for the Administrative Secretary. - $1200 will be moved from Student Interns to FICA, to cover the FICA taxes now required for student employees. -Depreciation will be added to future balance sheets, now that we have figures from the accountant. b. Committee Recommendations: After lengthy discussion and with the following recommendations, the Second Quarterly Financial Statement was adopted unanimously. -- The balance sheet should show withholding taxes as a liability. -- The Executive Director should prepare a program budget showing costs for each program as soon as is feasible. �- The Executive Director should prepare a narrative clarizyin~ the underspendin~ (related to the lengthy start-up period before programs that will be initiated in the late winter and spring), in order to clarify how fund will be spent before the end of the fiscal year. 3. Review of Frin~e Benefits. The committee reviewed current fringe benefits (which range from 13 % to 17% of salary) in light of the board's commitment to 20% fringe benefits. After some discussion, the committee made the following preliminary recommendations, to be discussed further by the committee in a conference call: -- The Executive Director should call a sampling of members, to learn the range of levels of fringe benefits in relation to salaries. [A sampling of three follow-up calls showed the following range: 28%, 30% and 34%. Several other members do not regularly compute this figure, so it was unavailable.] - The MNF Fringe Benefits Package should probably include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL BENEFITS, selected on an annual basis by employees and totaling 20% of salary. -REQUIRED BENEFITS should include not only the current medical/dental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also ShortTerm Disabilicy, coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional longterm disability insurance. --OPTIONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total to 20% of salary) should include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-term Disability, Tuition Assistance and a Tax-Deferred Annuity (with the contributed amount designated annually, representing the balance of the 20% of salary). 4. Update on Sales Tax Issue. In November, the Michigan Department of Treasury issued a Bulletin requiring nonprofits to pay sales tax on certain meals if reimbursed. This is the exact language of the policy: "All meals sold by caterers are subject to sales tax except catered meals sold to qualified exempt entities as 'not for resale. ' 'Not for resale' means that the catered meals are paid from funds of the exempt entity with no reimbursement from individuals attending the event. . . An example of a taxable catered meals would be an exempt entity conducting a fund raising dinner by selling tickets for a fixed amount which includes the cost of the meal." [Revenue Administrative Bulletin 88-42, "Catered Meals] However, our pro bono accounting adviser, Forrest Lewis of Plante & Moran, advises that we need not pay sales tax on meal reimbursements if the event is clearly a mission-related activity and the meal is incidental. In addition, reimbursements 2 �by her exempt organizations (rather than individuals) are not currently subject to this ruling. MNF invoices for meals associated with committee meetings and other events will indicate that the meal is incidental to a mission-oriented activity. 5. Review of Revenue Sources for FY1991-92 and FY1992-93. a. Reswnsibility for Fundraisine. The committee asked the Executive Director to clarify which categories of revenue are the responsibility of the finance committee, and which are part of the membership campaign. They are as follows: FINANCE COMMITTEE RESPONSffiiLITY Founding Member Pledges Non-Founding Member Dues Individual Trustees Other Individual Donors General Support Grants Fees (non-GGS) and publs. budeeted anticipated 10,000 2,000 2,000 1,000 2,000 2,000 8,450 1,750 MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE RESPONSffiiLITY Subscribers @ $20 (100) Agency/Individual Associates @$50 (40) "Network Associates" @ $75-500 (10) b. 2,000 2,000 2,000 750 Compensatin~ for Projected Shortfalls. M. Lewis reported that, based on projected shortfalls in dues and interest, the goals for individual donations and general support grants must be increased by a total of $5000. c. Anticipated Income from the Membership Campai~. M. Lewis reported that the new membership brochure will be mailed in February with the Grantmakers/Grantseekers brochure. Following the GGS, contacts will be made by trustees and staff with potential "Network Associates." Because of the lateness in the year, income from this category will likely be below the budgeted amount for FY 1991-92. d. Fundraisine Strategy. The committee agreed that the board should make a concerted effort now to raise funds from individual trustees, other individual 3 �donors, and general support grants for FY1991-92. They also agreed that the strategy for FY1992-93 must be developed now, since the amount to be raised is dramatically larger: $54,913. Before June 30, these are events and themes that could be used for attracting these funds: Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar operating costs Summit dissemination Newsletter and Alerts MNF' s Clearinghouse function Scholars Roundtables and Updates to the field These matters will be discussed in the committee's conference call. R. Ivory also agreed to contact J . Lore, D. Johnson and R. Mawby for their advice and help on fundraising. 6. Public Support Test. Although the committee's guest, Maryann Pierce, was unable to attend due to the snow, the committee reviewed the preliminary report on MNF's "Public Support Test." Based on the figures, ifMNF keeps to its schedule on fundraising from diverse sources, it will achieve the minimal30% Public Support by Year 3 (FY 1993-94). The committee postponed further discussion until the conference call. 7. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 11:30. ref:2/4/92,fin20114 .min,committe\fmance\0100\mjt 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY1991-92, any balance of the 20% for each employee this year will be placed in a Tax-Exempt Annuity for each. RECOMMENDATION #2 MNF's fringe benefits package will include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL benefits, selected on an annual basis (at the beginning of the fiscal year) by each employee and totaling 20% of salary for each. REQUIRED BENEFITS will include not only the current medical/dental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also shortterm disability, coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional longterm disability insurance. OYfiONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total up to 20% of salary) will include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. [At the committee's request, the Executive Director obtained confirmation that this plan is consistent with current laws and regulations: Health coverage must be identical for each employee, unless formally declined. Otherwise, benefits may be proportional to salary.] �4. Discussion of Fundraising Goals. The committee reviewed the original budget (excluding the Kellogg grant) , to determine shortfalls and revised fundraising goals. The discussion was tabled for further discussion at the April3rd meeting. The committee recommended that Chairman Ivory and CEO Maryellen Lewis meet with Russ Maw by, Dottie Johnson and John Lore to discuss fundraising plans. The committee also recommended that Russ Mawby be approached to write a letter to each Trustee to encourage their personal contribution to MNF (in whatever amount they choose) , as well as their personal commitment to enlist new MNF Associate Members and Network Members. 5.
