G. Public Policy Issues Session: G. Stevens confirmed the speakers for his session: Joy Terrel of Independent Sector and Edward Blews of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan. J.

He will present two one-hour back-to-back sessions in the afternoon. Arrangements are also being made to have his new book available for sale to conference participants at a discounted rate. I.

Discussion of Moderators: M. Lewis pointed out the selection of moderators provides an opportunity to bring funders and trustees into the conference. It is necessary to have moderators who are interested in the topic in order to provide a bridge between speakers and panelists. Moderators set the tone for the entire session and in most cases add stature, balance and diversity to the Seminar as a whole. With a conference of this size, moderators play an especially important role in achieving effective sessions. 6. Discussion of the Conference Day: The committee discussed ways in which staff, committee members, and conference speakers could work to make participants feel welcome. Staff will be working with the hotel to improve signage for the sessions. Committee members and staff will serve as greeters in the morning and during the line-up for lunch. Staff will also work with NSFRE and CMF to enlist tablehosts for the lunch to serve as conversation facilitators. 3 �Staff will set up an orientation for those who will be "working" the day of the seminar to familiarize them with the hotel and the most often asked questions. 7. Publicity: After discussion, the committee agreed that descriptions of each session should be made part of the media kits. Media kits will also include a press release and a brochure as the conference date approaches. 8. Review of Timeline. Logistics and Next Steps: The deadline for one-line session titles is December 13. The advance notice postcard will be mailed out before the holidays with the registration brochure to go out in February. M. Lewis reminded the committee to send MNF copies of all correspondence to speakers. MNF uses this information when sending out speaker packets which go out immediately after the holidays. M. Lewis will circulate a copy of D. Moore's session description to serve as a model for the detailed session descriptions which will go out to the press. Staff will also work to make these descriptions available to conference participants. The committee scheduled a tentative final meeting for March 3, 1992, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn 8.

The committee also raised the issue of allowing speakers to sell books/papers to conference participants.

These flyers can be placed on the tables provided for each session and Moderators can refer to them during their sessions. Staff will circulate this information to moderators and speakers. I. Media Sessions: M. Lewis reconfirmed this session will focus on ways to achieve an effective partnership between the nonprofit sector and the press -consistent with their distinct missions and roles -- so that the public will be better informed.

After much debate, the committee agreed staff should contact the panelists and invite them to distribute any handouts which they feel might add to the discussion. MNF would agree to handle the copying of any such materials. J. Demowwhics: M. Lewis reconfirmed Mark Wilson of Michigan State University will be the speaker for this session.

Calvin Patterson, McGregor Fund Alliance for Justice: Suzanne Feurt & Lary Wells VanDusen Endowment Challenge: John Lore, St. John Health Corporation 6. Lo~stics Review: M . Lewis reported .o n the plans to pipe and drape the luncheon. According to hotel personnel, piping and draping would not significantly reduce the noise level during the luncheon networking. Additionally it would create traffic flow problems during entry and exit from the lunch. After discussion, the committee agreed not to pipe and drape the luncheon. Further, although the lunch may contain a brief "business" portion (introduction of head table) the focus of the luncheon should remain on providing conference participants with an opportunity for networking. In future years, the committee may want to consider having video and publication rooms open during the lunch as alternatives to networking. Staff will continue to work with NSFRE chapters and CMF to enlist table hosts for the luncheon. Committee members also agreed to serve as table hosts, as well as general hosts for the seminar. Staff will set up an orientation for those who will be "working" the day of the seminar to familiarize them with the hotel and the most often asked questions. M. Lewis also circulated a request for conference day administrative volunteers. Approximately 25 volunteers are needed to greet participants, distribute conference packets, handle on-site registrations, provide directions and general information, monitor sessions, and handle a variety of other important functions. Volunteers should arrive by 7:30 in order to allow adequate time for instructions and will also receive an assignment packet in the mail approximately two weeks before the seminar. 8.

Guiding Principles of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Adopted by the Board of Trustees October 28, 1991 A. The future of Michigan's economic well-being and quality of life depends on the commitment of its citizens and future citizens to the values of the nonprofit sector. Therefore it is in the best interest of the sector and the state to actively encourage voluntary giving and service. B. The service of the nonprofit sector to the public depends on an interactive partnership between service providers, hinders, policy makers and the public. The Michigan nonprofit community should promote constructive dialogue among all these parties. C. In order to assist in re-educating the public and public leaders with concrete evidence of the PUBLIC BENEFIT of the nonprofit sector, the Michigan nonprofit community should encourage and undertake studies of its many unique benefits provided to the community at large. D. Michigan's nonprofit sector should define and aspire to the highest management standards of ethics, efficiency, and accountability, while preserving its historic and essential independence. E. The Michigan nonprofit community should develop and advance the philosophy of tax exemption, as well as positive public policies and incentives, to promote the vitality of the sector; and then play an active role in encouraging Michigan's leadership — including elected officials - to embrace it. v F. The Michigan nonprofit sector should take an active role in shaping statewide regulations and rulings that define clear, consistent interpretations and applications for purposes of tax exemption. � 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 bow 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 turn 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. H 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. MILLER: 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. YAMANISID: 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. UPJOBN: 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:3f13/92,aummit.btt,publicat\newaltr\6400 ,mjt 9 �MICIDGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327 MNF Summit- February 28. 1992 "Partnerships for People and Progress: The Nonprofit Sector's Evolving Relationship with Michigan's Government and Business Community" Convener Ms. Maryellen J.

[Not yet Adopted] MINUTES of the MNF Board of Trustees Meetin~ October 28. 1991 -- 9:00 to 3:00 (Holiday Inn-South, Executive Training Room-- Lansing, Ml) Trustees Present: N. Charles Anderson Thomas M. Bernthal Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Betty Boone Joyce A. Brown Gale Colwell David Gad-Harf Robert E. Ivory Steven L. Johns-Boehme Dorothy A. Johnson Gerard E. Keidel Justin P. King Monica Kostielney JohnS. Lore Lillian G. Mason Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Helen C. Philpott George W. Romney Frances L. Ryan Glenn R. Stevens Kathleen Straus Melvin L. Vulgamore Paul R. Williams Herbert Yamanishi Leonard M. Young Guests Present: Christopher Clark Donna M. Clarke Darin A. Day David 0 . Egner Arlene F. Fauser Constance P. Julius Terry Langston Maryellen J. Lewis Bruce Montgomery 1. Call to Order. With the President and the Secretary present, the meeting was called to order at 9:20a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Minutes. The minutes of the May 9, 1991 meeting were approved as printed and distributed. �3. Rewrt of the Executive Director: M. Lewis presented an informational video on the history and background of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum as a prelude to today's meeting. M. Lewis then noted that the experiences of MNF' s first year provide a solid basis for board planning for the future. In 1990-91, MNF tested out a variety of strategies for implementing its mission. It is now possible and necessary for Trustees to clarify a solid identity for the Forum, and to pinpoint a few concrete aims to be accomplished in MNF's second and third years and into the future. For this purpose, M Lewis provided a brief overview of accomplishments and opportunities from 1990-91, noting that a detailed description of activities was included in the MNF Annual Report. To implement its networking function, MNF has identified 296 network organizations which relate to the nonprofit sector, including the Neighborhood Associations of Michigan, the Michigan Community Arts Agency Association, Junior Leagues of Michigan, and a great variety of others. Through these networks MNF has disseminated infonnation on training opportunities, research initiatives, public policy issues and much more. These organizations represent the kind of cross-sector interactive network which will make it possible for MNF to operate effectively with minimal staff. MNF has also served as a catalyst and supportive partner this year to many statewide initiatives such as the Michigan Volunteer Coalition, the Michigan Communications Project and Youth Service Michigan. In particular, MNF staffs the Michigan Volunteer Coalition and its Coordinating Committee, under the leadership of Gov. George Romney. MNF has served as the catalyst and convener of more the 37 statewide organizations which are designing a Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism/Year of the Volunteer to kick off in Aprill992. Initiatives which fell entirely under the umbrella of MNF were the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, the planned spring forum (1992), and sectorwide consideration of public policy issues and the development of corresponding position statements. In conclusion, M. Lewis identified what she believes are three challenges facing the board and the Forum. Even while MNF narrows and selects its focus and goals each year, it must (1) Maintaln the mutual "enlightened self interest" which has drawn together the Organizational members, so that they find value each year to sustain their commitment; (2) Provide concrete identifiable benefits to those "in the trenches", such as the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar and infonnational mailings, to establish a broad base of support; and (3) Achieve and maintain a widespread understanding of a "community by interest" which will bring together the fragments of the nonprofit sector in common purpose. 2 �4. Committee Reports: A. Finance: B. Ivory reviewed the Year 1 (1990-91) budget, the fmancial report to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Year 2 (1991-92) budget. After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the 1991-92 budget was adopted unanimously. B. Allilli: G. Stevens reported KPMG Peat Marwick has provided a quote for the MNF audit of $2500. An independent contractor will also be submitting a bid early next week. The audit is expected to be completed by mid-November. C. Membership: L. Young reviewed the 3-Year General Cash Income statement, the Dues & Contributions Schedule, and the strategy behind the membership campaign. The first phase of the campaign will involve mailing out the brochure with a cover letter from individual MNF Trustees who have knowledge of the targeted organization, before the end of the year. Staff will provide the Trustees with a sample form letter which can be personally modified by each Trustee. Trustees will follow-up this written communication with a personal phone call approximately two weeks after the brochure is mailed. L. Young reiterated that members of Organizational Members would be recruited only in consultation and collaboration with the Organizational Member. The committee reviewed the Dues & Contributions Schedule. After discussion, the committee revised and approved the schedule for ASSOCIATES/"NETWORK ASSOCIATES" as follows: Budgets over 1,000,000 500,000 to 1,000,000 250,000 to 500,000 100,000 to 250,000 under 100,000 $500 250 125 100 75 D. Nominating: L. Young reviewed the recommendation of the nominating committee to name Elizabeth Upjohn as an At-Large Member and Trustee olthe Michigan Nonprofit Forum, replacing Helen Milliken. After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the committee approved the recommendation. L. Young also reviewed the recommendation of the nominating committee to identify future MNF officers and committee chairs so they may become familiar with the responsibilities associated with 3 �these positions. The committee unanimously approved this recommendation. E. Voluntarism: G. Romney reviewed the work of the committee on voluntarism. He highlighted the Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism noting the campaign has bi-partisan support from Michigan's current and four previous governor's and their spouses. The campaign will kick-off on April24, 1992 at the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar. This will be the beginning of the "Year of the Volunteer" which will run from April24, 1992 to April24, 1993. The Campaign will encompass a statewide promotional campaign as well as a regional/local promotional campaign. The statewide effort will be aimed at increasing visibility and recognition of existing volunteer efforts; increasing opportunities and incentives for volunteering; and creating a climate of commitment to volunteering that permeates Michigan's leadership, its institutions, and its communities. The regional/local effort will be aimed at strengthening Michigan's infrastructures that sustain voluntarism, and especially to assist existing Volunteer Centers, assist emerging ones, and stimulate new ones. F. Public Policy/Program: E. Blews and H. Philpott reported on the joint work of the public policy and program committees. E. Blews noted the committees have been working together on the development of a set of Guiding Principles for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, a "White Paper" on the nonprofit sector, and a summit on the changing partnerships between the nonprofit sector, government and the private sector. E. Blews reviewed the Guiding Principles for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, recommended jointly by the public policy and program committees. After discussion, the committee revised and approved the principles as follows: A. The future of Michigan's economic well-being and quality of life depends on the commitment of its citizens and future citizens to the values of the nonprofit sector. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the sector and the state to actively encourage voluntary giving and service. B. The service of the nonprofit sector to the public depends on an interactive partnership between service providers, funders, policy makers and the public. The Michigan nonprofit 4 �community should promote constructive dialogue among all these parties. C. In order to assist in re-educating the public and public leaders with concrete evidence of the PUBLIC BENEFIT of the nonprofit sector, the Michigan nonprofit community should encourage and undertake studies of its many unique benefits provided to the community at large. D . Michigan's nonprofit sector should define and aspire to the highest management standards of ethics, efficiency, and accountability, while preserving its historic and essential independence. E. The Michigan nonprofit community should develop and advance the philosophy of tax exemption, as well as positive public policies and incentives, to promote the vitality of the sector; and then play an active role in encouraging Michigan's leadership -- including elected officials -- to embrace it. F. The Michigan nonprofit sector should take an active role in shaping statewide regulations and rulings that define clear, consistent interpretations and applications for purposes of tax exemption. G. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV CGGIV): J. Lore reviewed the work of the GGIV program committee. The theme for this year's conference will be "Living our Mission: Meeting our Publics' Needs." The program structure is as follows: 8:00-9:00 9:00-9:45 9:45- 10:00 10:00- 11:45 12:00- 1:30 1:30- 1:45 1:45- 2:45 3:00-4:00 1:45-4:00 Registration Opening Session Break Concurrent Sessions (5) Lunch Break Concurrent sessions (3@ 1hr, repeated) Concurrent sessions (2@ 2 hrs in length) Sessions will cover issues on management, voluntarism, organizational effectiveness, broad public policy, advocacy, media relations, and demographics, to name a few. 5 �RECESS: The meeting recessed for lunch at 12:15 p.m. and reconvened at 12:55 p.m. 5.

MkhitCIII. April1, 1992 Projlosal 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 strocture and promm. 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 COMMITIEES. 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 oqaniqtion that need stren&thenin& or emansion. ldeptj(y your priorities and explain why you have selected them. As a result ofMNF'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 infonn 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 mnt to accomplish Your roaJs? 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 2 �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. OQESTION #4; Wbat js your workinr plan, includior a Umetable? 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/Grantseeken 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 fundinr to further your 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.

Street N.W., Suite 505 Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Barbara: I am writing a letter in support of strengthening Michigan Nonprofit Forum's policy and advocacy efforts. You are probably aware, having recently come from Michigan, that budget cuts have increased the burdens of nonprofit organizations in this state. They have not only been hit directly with budget cuts but are also experiencing increasing demands from families and individuals for their services. In this environment, we need all the help we can get. The role that MNF plays is one of facilitator. They have few resources at this time (information, staff, time, or money) to devote to a strong public policy role. With the gran4 I believe they can more clearly define the goals and objectives of the association. It will also enable them to define the role that they must play to help us all redefine the role of private nonprofit organizations in this time of great change.

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.

[NOT YET AIXJPTED] MINUTES of the Meetin~ of the MNF Public Policy and Prow.m Committees April 6, 1992- 9:00 to 1:00 Kellogg Center, Big Ten Room B, East Lansing, Mchigan :MEMBERS PRESENT: Edward Blews, Co-chair Helen C. Philpott, Co-chair N. Charles Anderson Richard H. Austin David G. Gad-Harf Steven L. Jahns-Boehme Gerard Keidel Lillian Mason Sharon Parks Linda Patterson Maryann Pierce Sherrie Ross Frances L. Ryan Shirley Stock Kathleen Strauss Herbert Yamanishi STAFF PRESENT: Donna Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis GUFST: Christopher Clark Forrest Lewis 1. Call to Order: Co-chair Helen C. Philpott called the meeting to order at 9 :20a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Summary of the 2/28 Summit: H. Philpott summarized the summit, noting Robert Payton's excellent introductory remarks and background paper which set the tone for the entire event. She also recognized the importance of Janne Gallagher's insights on the nonprofit sector. H. Philpott, along with the entire committee, commended Edward 0 . Blews, Jr. on his exemplary skills as a moderator and thanked the entire panel, audience, and staff of MNF for their participation and contributions. Committee members also shared their thoughts on the summit. All felt very enthusiastic about this first in a continuing series of summits. Members felt the summit set the groundwork for future summits to focus on developing a supportive viewpoint in the legislature, identifying and prioritizing specific issues which currently face �nonprofits, encouraging stronger corporate participation in the sector, and addressing the issues of credibility and accountability among all three sectors. 3. Summit Implications for MNF's A~encijl: E. Blews led the discussion on summit implications for MNF's agenda. E. Blews noted the summit produced three notable outcomes. First, the summit opened the door for future dialogue among nonprofits, government, and corporations. Second, the summit produced a valuable resource in both the videotapes and written transcripts which can be used in a variety of ways by diverse groups around the state. And finally, the summit serves as an information source for the agenda and direction of MNF. E. Blews pointed out that today' s discussion will serve as the foundation for the committee presentation to the Executive Committee on April 15, to be followed by recommendations to the full Board of Trustees on April 23. The committee then discussed specific agenda items MNF could look to in the future. Members identified a tremendous need for definitional clarification of the unique responsibilities of the nonprofit sector in contrast to the appropriate and reasonable functions of government and business. This clarification should then be followed by discussion Qf specific issues, such as health care, education and the arts. MNF dialogues should also examine questions of financial resources and donor motivations and frustrations. Members also targeted issues of accountability and credibility among the three sectors, possibly leading to the development of a code of ethics for nonprofits. At the same time, committee members agreed, these efforts should strive to be supportive of individuals who work in the nonprofit sector. M. Lewis noted the Independent Sector has drafted a code of ethics for the nonprofit sector, which she will share with this committee and the MNF board. In closing this discussion, the committee noted the importance of educating not only those involved in the three sectors, but also the youth of our society. We must plan for the future now, taking steps to educate our youth in voluntarism and philanthropy. Currently, the Michigan Association of School Boards is working to have every school board in Michigan make a commitment to public service. On this positive note, the committee ended this discussion and asked the co-chairs and staff to report on their behalf to the executive committee. 4. Plans for Fall Summit: The committee agreed the summit planning group should use the previous discussion as a basis for planning the fall summit. This summit should help define the roles of government and the nonprofit sector respectively. It should clarify realistic expectations and move past assumptions. It should also work to designate boundaries and mutual support, and to achieve a hopeful strategy for action. Staff will work with the summit subgroup to convey these sentiments. 2 �Summit Planning Group: Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Robert E. Ivory Sr. Monica Kostielney Linda B. Patterson Helen C. Philpott Herbert Yamanishi Sharon Parks 5. Specific Follow-Up to the 2/28 Summit: Summit follow-up will include distribution of the videotapes, conversations with legislators, and regional/local roundtables. Staff will work with the video editors to develop two tapes which differ in length. One short tape (15-20 minutes) will be designed to serve as a tool groups can use for discussion purposes. The second tape (1-2 hours) will be designed to serve as a resource, especially for educational groups. The tapes will be accompanied by a discussion guide and written summit excerpts, prefaced by remarks by Russell Mawby, Robert Payton, and moderator Edward Blews. The committee agreed that the short video will also be shown during a luncheon for legislators at or near the state capitol. The luncheon will be held during the legislative session to insure maximum attendance. The committee agreed this would be a valuable experience for all and encouraged invitation of the executive office. The committee also discussed the use of the videotapes in local and regional roundtables. The tapes can be incorporated into existing programs or could be used as a basis for a local summit (one-third business, one-third government and one-third nonprofit leaders). Some discussion focused on Shirley Stock' s suggestion of utilizing the community college network to have teleconference viewing. Committee members tabled this discussion until the edited tapes are available, so that actual uses can be more clearly identified. 6. Other Pro~ram and Policy Issues and Updates: M. Lewis updated the committee on several issues as follows. In the near future Congress will again examine the nonprofit postal rates. Even though most nonprofit rates remained intact last year, continued action on this issue is required. MNF will keep its members updated, so they are able to activate their members at the appropriate time. Several national issues are still pending, such as eliminating the 3% floor imposed on contributions by Congress last year. The budget Congress proposed would have made the floor permanent, President Bush's budget veto has opened the way for more negotiations on this issue. This is a priority issue for Independent Sector, and MNF will continue to work with them. Further IS has declared the charitable deduction for non-itemizers as a priority, as did MNF last year. Again, MNF will monitor this issue closely and inform members of needed action and progress. E. Blews pointed out that tax legislation is unlikely to pass the legislature before the election. However, he noted, the election will bring about many new faces and provide an opportunity for the 3 �sector to educate and inform new legislative members at both the federal and state level. After holding public hearings during July of 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted to postpone review of the proposed statement of financial accounting standards for contributions received by charitable organizations. F ASB will resume deliberations later this spring, with a new exposure draft expected in September of 1992. A comment period will follow allowing organizations to issue written comments on the revisions. MNF will continue to monitor this issue and will distribute the revised standards when they become available. E. Blews discussed the upcoming work of the public policy committee. The committee will meet as a special working group after April, to design strategies and systems for informing and mobilizing the sector on short notice. They will also continue to discuss the accountability issue and how to address it effectively. The white paper work group will also meet after April, aiming for a fall draft. And finally, a task force has been appointed to study the issue of tax incentives. Dorothy Johnson of CMF and Robert Ivory of UWM serve as co-chairs and are working closely with the state. Since the state has no funds to conduct the mandated study, D. Johnson and R. Ivory are seeking foundation funding and will contribute assistance from their organizations. M. Lewis requested that the program committee begin work on the 1993 statewide Give 5 campaign to follow the Year of the Volunteer. She also requested the committee take on the task (approved by the Executive Committee in December) of working with the GGS Committee to more fully integrate the planning and theme of the annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers conference with MNF' s work/mission, and to develop a clear GGS mission statement to serve as a working framework for future GGS Program Committees. Committee Chair H. Philpott asked M. Lewis to develop a plan in writing, to serve as the basis for the committee's work. 7. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m. Forrest Lewis of Plante & Moran spoke to the committee over lunch regarding Michigan tax issues. A summary of his remarks is attached. 4 �Cer1lfied Pub!Jc Accountants A==::)..:=::::: T===~~ :2500 i:~ga=n=A=ve~n=ue=~~~=====~=1r::,oo :::_3=3~~~=mm =n=tCo~nsul=tarus == PLANTE Q -MJ=P===n== .t<..t-\l"j , ~=l-=6oM=~chl ~ EasiLansmg. Midugan4882b-2500 FAX517-332-8502 MICHIGAN TAX AREAS IN WHICH MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM CAN PLAY A ROLE by Forrest Lewis, CPA Partner PROBLEM 1: The distinctions between these things are not well understood: a) forminq a Michigan nonprofit corporation (a matter of state corporation law) b) obtaining a federal taxpayer identification number (Form SS-4) c) applying for federal tax exemption (Form 1023/4) SOLUTION: Probably the necessity for these steps being separate will never go away. Perhaps MNF can play a role in educating newly formed nonprofit organizations of the filing requirements?-perhaps a brochure? PROBLEM 2: The nonprofit exemptions appearing in these ~chigan tax laws are very old (mention of the Grand Army of the Republic is a tip off), inconsistent and not coordinated with the various types of federal tax exemption: property tax sales and use tax intangibles tax inheritance tax {To the legislature's credit, the nonprofit exemptions in the Michigan income tax and single business tax are largely based on federal exemption) . SOLUTION: Amending the law by adopting uniform exemption wording is probably the answer. PROBLEM 3: Over time, state agencies adopt more restrictive interpretations of nonprofit exemptions without benefit of changes in the underlying statute. Sometimes they do this without bothering to go through the Administrative Procedures Act (i.e. regulations) which involves public and legislative exposure. SOLUTION: Tough problem, i t is seen at all levels of government . Perhaps legislation would help? Perhaps MNF can be a voice for nonprofits in Michigan? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Aprill4, 1992 MEMORANDUM N: MNF Trustees and Associates FROM: Maryellen J. Lewis SUBJECT: Deductibility of Gifts of Appreciated Property PUBLIC POLICY ALERT For Your Immediate Attention You may already know that in a few weeks the Senate Finance Committee will considerS. 359 to alleviate a difficult burden on the charitable sector by permanently removing all gifts of appreciated property from the alternative minimum tax (AMT). This is such an important issue that we wanted to make sure it reached your desk, despite your very busy schedule. The attached fact sheet will provide you with the recent legislative action and talking points. During this time of significant federal, state, and local government deficits, tax exempt institutions of all types must tum increasingly to private donors to help them sustain their services to the public. Time and again, the AMT has been an impediment to giving. It is hoped that, with this proposed legislation, this obstacle to charitable giving can soon be removed. So we thought you might want to alert your colleagues and representatives, to insure that Michigan participates fully in this important decision to make permanent the full deductibility of ~ifts of appreciated property.

BOREN-DANFORTH AND OOWNEY-GRADISON BILLS REMOVING GIFTS OF APPRECIATED PROPERTY FROM THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX For a number of charitable organizations, gifts of appreciated property have declined since enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which changed the tax rules to include the appreciated portion of these gifts as a tax preference item in the alternative minimum tax (AMT). In early 1991, S. 359, a bill to permanently remove all gifts of appreciated property from the alternative minimum tax, was introduced by Senators David Boren (D-01<), John Danforth (R-MO), Daniel Patrick Moynihan {D-NY), and John Chafee (R-RI). A companion measure, H.R. 15.57, was introduced by Congressmen T'nomas Downey (D-NY) and Willis Gradison (R-OH). A majority of House tax committee members have co-sponsored this legislation. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that enactment of this legislation would reduce Treasury revenues by $300 million over five years. Recent Legislative History The budget reconciliation bill signed into law by the President on November 5, 1990, removed gifts of tangible personal property, such as art objects and manuscripts, from the alternative minimum tax for calendar year 1991 only. On December 11, 1991, President Bush signed into law the Tax Extender Act of 1991 (PL 102-227) which provided a 6 month extension of current law (removing gifts of tangible personal property from the AMT) through June 30, 1992. President Bush's proposed FY 93 budget included permanent removal of all gifts of appreciated property from the AMT, as did the House tax bill. The Senate tax bill provided for removal of all gifts from the AMT for calendar years 1992 and 1993. The conference report on the Tax Fairness and Economic Growth Acceleration Act of 1992 called for removal of all gifts of appreciated property from the AMT, effective January 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993. This measure was vetoed by the President and an effort to override the veto was defeated in the House. Rationale Although cash contributions have generally been increasing over the past several years, many charitable organizations report a decline in gifts of appreciated property. For colleges and universities, gifts of appreciated property are used for a number of purposes - scholarship funds, endowed chairs, construction and renovation of classrooms, libraries, and science facilities. Donations of appreciated property are often the lead gifts in capital campaigns to update or replace critically needed facilities. The �Overvaluation of gifts was addressed by Congress in 1984 when a set of strict new rules designed to result in careful and accurate valuation of donated property was enacted. These new rules apply to certain gifts over $5,000, while other gifts remain subject to general substantiation requirements. lbe new requirements include appraisal and overvaluation penalties for the donor and the appraiser. Conclusion Including the appreciated portion of property giving in the AMT has unduly hampered philanthropic fundraising. Analyses show that for all practical purposes, the 30% AGI limit on charitable contributions is effective in preventing taxpayers from zeroing out, that is, avoid paying any federal income tax -without the inclusivn of donations of appreciated prope1ty a~ a tax preference item iH the AlviT. Restoring the incentive to give appreciated property to educational, cultural, and other charitable institutions is sound tax policy for the simple reason that it is a proven method of ensuring that private wealth will provide a benefit for the public at large. At a time of significant federal, state, and local government deficits, tax exempt institutions of all types must turn increasingly to private donors to help them sustain their services to the public. Time and again, the AMf has been an impediment to giving. It is hoped that this obstacle to charitable giving can soon be removed. 3 �Date: April 9, 1992 Memo to: From: Re: Michigan Nonprofit Forum Executive Committee Robert E. Ivory Dorothy A. Johnson Co-chairs, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, Task Force on Tax Incentives, Sub-Committee of MNF Puplic Policy Committee Michigan Tax Incentive Task Force Background The Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF) has established a Task Force to look at tax incentives for nonprofits. The Task Force will prepare a study on tax incentives which may be useful to the Michigan Department of Treasury, who is required to submit to the legislature such a study by June 30, 1993. The required study is part of Public Acts 170 and 171 of 1991, the final products of Senate Bills 299 and 300, which renewed tax credits for community foundations, and established tax credits for homeless shelters and food banks. During the hearing on both bills, the United Way of Michigan and the Council of Michigan Foundations proposed that a study on tax incentives for all nonprofits would be advantageous. The legislation does not call for the Department of Treasury to do the study, only to submit a study. During conversations with State Treasurer, Doug Roberts and Deputy Treasurer, Gary Wolfram, it was discovered that the Department of Treasury believes that this study should be conducted by an organization other than the Department of Treasury. Obviously, the study would be submitted to the Department for their review, editing and submittal to the legislature. Of course, this would assume that the Department agreed with the results of the study and the resulting policy recommendations. In a meeting with Russell G. Mawby, Chairman, Michigan Nonprofit Forum, February 14, 1992, and later consultations with MNF Executive Committee Members, it was determined that it would be appropriate for MNF to sponsor the study. After discussion with Edward 0. Blews, MNF Public Policy Committee Chairman, Robert E. Ivory and Dorothy A. Johnson were appointed as Co-chairs. Committee membership is yet to be determined, but ideally will include representatives of the arts, education, health and human services and grantmaking arenas. Suggestions will be discussed with the Executive Committee at the April 15, 1992 meeting. �Work/Study During the February meeting, it was agreed that the following work plan should be considered for the 1992 calendar: 1. Meetings with the Michigan Nonprofit Forum (MNF) committee to discuss scope of study, participants and data collection process. 2. Meeting with Michigan Department of Treasury to discuss above. 3. Finalize scope of study, data collection and participants. 4. Collection of data, review of data and analysis of data. 5. MNF committee meets to discuss public policy maker education program. 6. Identify key legislators and executive departments' personnel to educate on importance of taz incentives for community charities and to keep "posted'' on preliminary data collection analysis. 7. MNF committee meets to design media strategy for 1992. B. Implement media strategy to keep key opinion leaders in media briefed on the necessity for tax incentives and the progress of data collection and analysis. It is important the MNF Board Members feel ownership of the above process. Forum Members will have input into the planning of all of the above elements and will have constant participation. It is proposed that MNF engage Public Affairs Associates (PAA), represented by David Haynes, to administer the above program. PAA would provide the MNF TAsk Force with drafts to review for each of the steps/elements approved by the Task Force. 1992 is the year for data collection, and 1993 would be the year for final analysis of that data collection and preparation of an analytical study and recommendations to be submitted to the Department of Treasury. Cost/Support Year one of the study will cost $60,000. It is anticipated that each organization will contribute the time and out-of-pocket expenses for committee participation. The cost for year two cannot be estimated until the findings of the research are determined. The United Way of Michigan has volunteered to serve as fiscal agent for the project. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, United Way of Michigan and Council of Michigan Foundations have indicated they will provide financial support. �Ideally modest financial support will be received from other educational, arts, health and human service agencies. Everyone recognizes this time of budget restraint, as well as the other needs of the MNF. Next Steps Executive Committee approval of retaining Public Affairs Associates Add Task Force Members Solicit financial support Presentation to MNF Board Meeting April 23, 1992 Commence study DAJ/pab:830H � 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 histozy 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. 1 �• 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 2 �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 or~anizations as if we were able easily to mark them off from for-profit or~anizations, to distinguish them from "business. " In most other parts of the world, the term non~overnmental or~anization is used. (In England there are even QUANGOS: quasi- nongovernmental 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 3 �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 all. 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 4 �dependent servants of government agencies. Another significant and familiar form of the disease is evident when people come together voluntarily in pursuit of the wron2 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 in finding a "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 patrona2e: 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? • Sin2le-issue philanthro.py 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 tbm 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 Q..Uandaries of fund raisin2: 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 5 �hand, most contributors buy many charitable products and services in the philanthropic supermarket. • InadeQuate accountability. re~ulation. 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. Qperatin~ Su~port: • 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 ~-sector, not a ,m:Q-sector -- and most important of all, not a ~sector - society. -3Principles to mde 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. 6 �• 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 nonprofit's purposes, rather than letting tax exemption or deduction be determined by the ~ 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 1 �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 perfonnance 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. 8 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On February 28, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum convened its first Policy Summit, bringing together key stakeholders to address the dramatic changes underway in the historic partnership linking the nonprofrt sector with government and business. The videotaped Summit addressed the theme: "Partnerships for People and Progress -The Nonprofit Sector's Evolving Relationship with Michigan's Government and Business Community." This is a time when the nonprofit community has been rocked by cutbacks and escalating need, and when government has turned increasingly to non profits to provide community services, and when business and other private donors face constraints in giving due to a troubled economy. Tensions and strains between the sectors- govemmen~ for-profiUbusiness, and nonprofit- threaten at times to undermine the partnership which has served Mich~an communities for ITlQ(8 than a century. How do we proceed? What are principles that can guide policy and practice in these times of dramatic change? The Summit grappled with these hard questions. Dr. Robert Payton, Director of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University (and former CEO of the Exxon Foundation) opened the discussion, which was also guided by his theme paper circulated in advance. The discussion was then moderated by Dr. Edward Slews, President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan and MNF Board Secretary. Future MNF Summits will continue to explore the challenges and dilemmas in this evolving partnersh!p, and the Summit videotapes will be used in Community Roundtables across the state.

Dr. N\ark Wison's recent report from the Nonprofrt Michigan Project tels us more than we have ever known about the sector n Mdligan As Dr. Wison ponts out. nonprofit organizations are corrmonly defned by what they are not. rather than by what they are: the "residual" category covemg what is not govenment and not busness - a category that has remaned relatively uncharted. To remedy this lack of so&d nformation. Dr. Wison used data from the RS, the Mdligan Employment Security CO!Tfl'l6sion and the Department of Labor to compie a preknnary snapshot of the 1 sector. selections of which folow: • Mdligan has over 40.000 nonprofrts, widely defned. yet fewer than 3,000 employ one or more persons. This is only a partial paure. however, snce thousands of voklntary organizations with smaJ or even nonexistent budgets make a tremendous d'rfference n the &ves of those they serve.

Mr. Lawrence Roehrig, Seaelaty/Treasurer, AFSCME, Councii25AFL.CIO The next 20 years, I am told, will see the largest transfer of wealth from one generation to anothef, not only in the history of this country but probably in the history of the worid. 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've got lots of economic problems, don't you believe that we are not a wealthy society, that there isn~ money to do things. Thafs not our problem. But nis a very serious question of what those resources will be used for and I think lhafs part of what wiU cane out of our participation in this rewriting of the social contract.

Patterson Acrrnstrative Director. Cocnci of Mch'gan Fot..ndations Prelimnary results of the Council of Michigan Fm.ndation's fourth amJal survey of fundraising carrpaigns in Michigan indicate that. even with 14% fewer carrpaigns in 1992 than in 1991 , funding targets are up nearly 5% ($30 milrton). One explanation for fewer carrpaigns may be that the sluggish economy is corrbinng with state cutbacks to force service providers to rethirk strategic and longrange funding plans, a~ting to the changing envirorment. Such re-afigrments require time for streaminng operations and establishing new strategic goals. At the same time, higher funding goals for ongoing carrpaigns acknowledge the need for increased funds to compensate for cutbacks and reductions from past sources. Nearly $710 mmon is being sought in Michigan this year by 7 4 nor-profit organza tions. Of the early survey results. 68% of the reported campaigns were irltiated in prior years. "Our data does not allow us to know conclusively whether the rurrber of carrpaigns has fallen off due to successful carrpaigns recendy completed." comnents Dorothy A. Johnson. CMF's President. "or because plamed carrpaigns have been delayed. or because of some other influence. But conversation within the sector indicates that a lot of retrenching and replarring is going on right now." Cultural and health organzations show the least reductions in new carrpaigns; but they also have the smallest representation in the survey. Education and human service organzations. on the other hand. show a 2/3 difference in new versus contiruing carrpaigns. Of the 108 statewide carrpaigns currently being reported, 64 are capital carr-paigns and 44 are endowment drives. Of the four categories represented. educational institutions are the oriy grouP' conducting as many capital as endowment campaigns; other groups are conducting about twice as many capital as endowment carr-paigns.

Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis Maryann Tillson 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chairman and Secretary present, the meeting was called to order at 11:05 a.m. Those present introduced themselves. 2. Review of the Minutes: The minutes of the October 28, 1991 meeting were approved as printed and distributed. 3. Report of the Chairman: R. Mawby reviewed MNF's Executive Summary and Guiding Principles, commending the committee chairs for their leadership in bringing MNF successfully through an important stage in its development. MNF has adopted clear directions and priorities for implementing its mission and has launched a number of significant initiatives. After discussion, the committee agreed the Executive Summary should be an evolutionary document which reflects MNF's refined mission. 1 �Staff will use the products of MNF's activities, such as the White Paper, to insure that the Executive Summary captures the spirit and philosophy of the organization, while tangibly promoting MNF's work. 4. ReJX>rt of the Executive Director: M. Lewis reported that the work of the board committees has begun to yield concrete, visible products. In February MNF held its first Summit which has opened up several avenues of dialogue among the sectors involved. MNF will disseminate tapes of the Summit this summer as part of MNF's resource collection, which also includes audio tapes from the Grantrnakers/Grantseekers Seminars and issues papers from several of MNF's program initiatives. M. Lewis also reported on the distribution of MNF's first newsletter to over 10,000 individuals throughout the state. The response has been overwhelmingly positive to both the content and the form of the quarterly publication. The next edition will be released this summer. MNF also kicked off its first membership campaign this spring as part of the registration for GGIV. Response has been very strong and will be the focus of today's membership committee report. MNF convened a meeting of the Scholar's Network in January and they will be meeting again tomorrow following GGIV. The purpose of the Scholar's Network is to encourage research on Michigan •s nonprofit sector, so that we have more dependable information to guide policy and practice. On December 10, 1992 MNF will cosponsor a research conference on the nonprofit sector with the Nonprofit Michigan Project/MSU (Mark Wilson) and Wayne State University (David Stevenson). The keynote speaker will be Dr. Virginia Hodgkinson. MNF has played a key role as servant-leader for the Michigan Volunteer Coalition whose efforts will be highlighted tomorrow at GGIV with the kick-off of Michigan's Year of the Volunteer. G. Romney will provide further details on the event during his report. MNF continues to work with ACCESS of Boston to establish their Michigan nonprofit jobbank. MNF is working to update the Nonprofit Resource Directory, published by the Accounting Aid Society in 1988. As approved by the Executive Committee in December, MNF is working with the Michigan Nonprofit Management Institute (Phil Reed) to launch a Nonprofit Providers Network in order to facilitate the provision of low-cost, quality management assistance to all nonprofits across the state. MNF continues to fulfill its role as a clearinghouse. It receives approximately 12-15 inquiries per week, ranging from general statistical questions regarding the nonprofit sector to very specific questions on how to start-up a nonprofit. 2 �M. Lewis also noted several administrative accomplishments. Michigan State University has generously provided an additional room, bringing MNF's total room count to three. With a staff of three plus interns and often seven bodies working at one time, the added elbow room has been a great reliefl MNF has received verbal notice from the IRS that our 501(c)(3) status was formally approved on March 13, 1992. A letter is forthcoming. 5. Re.port of the Audit Committee: G. Stevens reported MNF's audit for the period from inception (November 15, 1990) through June 30, 1991 was extremely positive. According to Stanaback & Company, P .C. MNF's financial statements present in all material respects the financial position of MNF in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. After discussion , the committee unanimously approved the acceptance of the audit report. 6. Finance: R. Ivory reviewed the third quarter financial statements, noting MNF is still running behind in some expense categories because most GGIV costs appear in the fourth quarter. Also MNF is still in the start-up phase in a few areas. Year Three should more accurately project MNF's actual yearly costs. After discussion, the committee unanimously approved the finance report and the following recommendations: 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 of FY1991-92. Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY199192, 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. REQUIRED BENEFITS should not only include the legallyrequired medicaUdental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also short-tenn 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' MedicaUDental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. 3 �II. 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.) 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. Ill: 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. LUNCH: During lunch, trustees heard a presentation on the new Cooley Clinic, Inc., an emerging project of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School to provide low-cost legal services to Michigan nonprofits. Dr. Thomas Brennan, President of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School made the presentation, which was enthusiastically received by MNF trustees who asked to be kept informed about ways MNF or its member organizations could be of assistance. 7. Re.port of the Membership Committee: L. Young reported on MNF's current Membership Campaign. Response has been significant. After less than a month, MNF has received the following response: 4 �Membership Level: Honorary Sustaining Sponsoring Associate Subscriber 2 2 3 62 8 L. Young also reviewed the membership committee 's strategy for targeting Network Associates. Staff will circulate a listing of potential Network Associates, to be reviewed by the each trustee for corrections, updates and additions. Once staff has compiled the final list, each trustee will be asked to designate twelve organizations to contact personally, based on prior knowledge of the organization or familiarity with the organization's field/mission. Any undesignated organizations will be assigned to specific trustees or contacted by staff. Staff will supply each trustee with boilerplate language for use in initial contact letters as well as background information on MNF. Trustees will follow-up their letters with personal telephone calls. It is important for future membership campaigns for trustees to note specific reasons or~anizations ~iye for either participatin~ or not particjpatin~ in MNF. This information will be used to adapt future campai~n strate~es. A. Rosewarne suggested that trustees point out to those who decline that they will continue to receive information on MNF and that the trustee will follow-up again next year! After discussion , trustees expressed their support for this plan of action. Staff will take steps to circulate the lists before the end of June so that the campaign can be launched before the end of summer. L. Young also reported that nominations for new Organizational Members and new Network Members can be brought to the Board at its 10/12/92 Annual Meeting. The membership committee will begin to review potential nominations over the summer and trustees are encouraged to submit organizations for consideration committee. 8. Report of the Pro~ram and Public Policy Committees: H. Philpott summarized the summit, noting Robert Payton's excellent introductory remarks and background paper which set the tone for the entire event. She also recognized the importance of Janne Gallagher's insights on the nonprofit sector. On behalf of the entire committee she commended Edward 0. Blews, Jr. on his exemplary skills as a moderator and thanked the entire panel, audience, and staff of MNF for their participation and contributions. After reviewing the Summit discussion, H. Philpott detailed the issues selected by the joint public policy and program committees as possible future program themes. Committee Members agreed especially on the need to clarify the definition of a nonprofit organization and the unique responsibilities of the nonprofit sector in contrast 5 �to the appropriate and reasonable functions of government and business. Future MNF dialogues could also examine questions regarding "who will pay?". Efforts could be made to target issues of accountability and credibility among the nonprofit sector, possibly leading to a code of ethics for nonprofits (as is occurring at the national level). Summit follow-up will include distribution of the videotapes, conversations with legislators (one planned for the fall), and regional/local roundtables. One short tape (10-20 minutes) will be designed to serve as a tool groups can use for discussion purposes. The second tape (1-2 hours, divided into three topical sections) will be designed to serve as an in-depth resource, especially for educational groups. The tapes will be accompanied by a discussion guide and written summit excerpts, prefaced by remarks by Robert Payton, Russell Mawby, and moderator Edward Blews. E. Blews discussed the Summit Implications for MNF's agenda and thanked H. Philpott for the opportunity to work with her, and the entire program committee on the summit. He then reported that a small grant to MNF has been approved by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, to support the development of an effective public policy network for MNF to inform and mobilize the sector on short notice. (Funds are restricted to cover travel to learn from peer organizations in other states, and to bring resource persons to Michigan.) He also reported that the White Paper work group will also meet over the summer, aiming for a fall draft. E. Blews also updated the committee on several national issues as follows. After holding public hearings during July of 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted to postpone review of the proposed statement of financial accounting standards for contributions received by charitable organizations. F ASB will resume deliberations later this spring, with a new exposure draft expected in September of 1992. A comment period will follow, allowing organizations to issue written comments on the revisions. MNF will continue to monitor this issue and will distribute the revised standards when they become available. Members also recently received a Public Policy Alert shortly regarding legislation which would permanently remove gifts of appreciated property from the alternative minimum tax (AM1). Congress is expected to act on this important issue in the immediate future, therefore expeditious action on behalf of MNF and its members is imperative. E. Blews then turned to subcommittee chairs R. Ivory and D. Johnson, who reported on a task force appointed to study the issue of tax incentives. Dorothy Johnson of CMF and Robert Ivory of UWM serve as co-chairs and are working closely with the state on this issue. (handout appended) 10. Rewrt on the Campai~n for Voluntarism: G. Romney reported the Year of the Volunteer will kickoff at GGIV. During the year from April 24, 1992 to April, 1993, a broad alliance of organizations and individuals- under the leadership of former First Lady Janet Blanchard, First Lady Michelle Engler, Frank Popoff (CEO 6 �of Dow Chemical), and former Governor George Romney - will undertake a Campaign for Voluntarism with the following mission: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTARISM ACROSS THE STATE OF MICHIGAN 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 MICHIGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIFS, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: School volunteer programs, Colle&e student volunteer bureaus, Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2 HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, FSPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRFSS 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 high-visibility 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. - 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 wllere 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. 7 �10.
