                    <text>Proposed Michigan Nonprofit Staff Restructuring
At the May meeting of the Board of Trustees, MNF was authorized to fill two
positions: Manager ofNonprofit Classifieds and Manager ofT.echnology
Clearinghouse. Both of these positions were approved as a part of the 199596 budget.
At the last Executive Committee meeting it was recommended that MNF
postpone the hiring of these positions. Recent collaborative efforts make it
possible to do this work with a staff restructuring. Additionally, efforts to
alleviate the chief staff person's administrative load so that he may more
strategically work with funders, board members, and public policy issues can
be achieved through a restructuring plan.
Therefore, the attached organizational chart introduces the creation of a chief
operating officer; the replacement of the director of programs and operations
with a position titled director of member services, responsible for member
recruitment, retention, and all MNF direct service activities; and the addition of
a half-time member services assistant, responsible for publication layout and
providing assistance to the director of member services. With the
postponement of the two above mentioned positions, this restructuring will
result in a savings of approximately $30,000 in the staff salaries line item.

NONPROFIT
FORUM

10/16/90

300 N. Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219

Maryellen J. Lewis, Acting Executive Director

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to pressing changes and challenges in the
nonprofit sector, leaders of ten statewide organizations
concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on
August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum.
Initially conceived as a mechanism to convene
members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has
evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness
and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with
interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working
collaboratively with the existing efforts in the state) to
promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan.
To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a
trade association, competing for memberships and support with
exist ing associations in Michigan. Nor does it provide the
field-specific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan
associations.
Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for
the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialogue, planning and
cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit
sector. The Forum brings together in its Steering Committee and
its design not just traditional charities, but also public and
private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the
public schools and universities) that also have an increasinglyrecognized stake.
The activities of the Forum address voluntarism,
philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary
interests but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's
economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit
caref ul analysis and planning, human resource development,
informed public discussion, and dependable investment.
MNF Mission and Goals.

mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise
public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role
and significant contributions in Michigan.
To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities
in these five areas:
1.

Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local,
regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding
and a catalyst for further action.

2.

Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles
and disseminates current information and insights, as a
basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also
works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars
of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge
base for public policy and practice in the state.

3.

Public Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater
awareness and understanding of public policy issues that
affect the sector as a whole.

4.

Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational
development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within
the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment,
the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources across
the sector and facilitates collaborative planning and
action.

5.

Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual
GrantmakersjGrantseekers Seminar, which brings the
sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and discussions.

policies and proceedings of the MNF Steering Committee as
policies of the Board.
3) Review and Adoption of the Bylaws: The Bylaws were
moved and duly adopted by a unanimous affirmative vote,
after adoption of the following modifications:
ARTICLE III, Section 6: A quorum at any duly
called meeting of the Trustees shall consist o f
not less than a simple majority of the Trustees
including not less than one representative fr om
each of two-thirds of the ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERS

�ARTICLE IV Section 9: The Executive Director
shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the

designated or delegated by the Board, and shall

4) Affirmation of New Members. The following organizations

Further, the Trustees agreed to a recommendation by the
President of the Council of Baptist Pastors, Rev. Charles

originally intended for that organization. Instead, based
on Reverend Butler's recommendation, the Trustees voted
unanimously to authorize the Chairman to invite the emerging
Michigan Chapter of the Council of National Black Churches
to become a member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's
governing board, upon the Chapter's official establishment.
Further, the Trustees by consensus agreed to invite
Reverend Butler to serve in the newly-created capacity of
Interim Trustee, until such time as the Michigan Chapter
officially accepts the invitation for membership and
determines its two official representatives/Trustees to
serve on the MNF Board, or until the May meeting of the
Board.

officers, duly nominated and elected by the Steering
Committee, were unanimously affirmed by the Trustees:

Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar (GGS) Program

work by the program committee. (Draft GGS/1991 program
attached)
(b)
Computer Bulletin Board: Thomas Bernthal reported
that the new MNF computer bulletin board, sponsored by
the Michigan Community College Association, will be
operational by October 1. He suggested the possibility
of an orientation for Trustees in the near future.
(c)
FACS Michigan Communication Project: Maryellen
Lewis reported on this collaboration with the
Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles.
Three Journalist Education programs are under
development for next spring, each of which will include
the nonprofit sector as a central theme:
(1) Poverty
(with the Michigan League for Human Services), (2) the
Environment (with the Michigan Environmental Council),
and (3) the Michigan Nonprofit Sector (supported in
part by the Detroit News) . Other partners in this
effort include the Michigan Press Association and the
Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition,
five ''media relations" workshops are being developed,
with the aim of creating networks of nonprofits within
regions which can effectively collaborate to inform the
public through the news.
In the process, MNF is
helping to create a statewide organization of nonprofit
staff and leaders responsible for public
communications.
(d)
Michiqan Volunteer Coalition: Chairman George
Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker
met with Maryellen Lewis to develop the following
strategies:
(1) Janet Blanchard will approach the
Governor about getting bipartisan support for
designating 1991 the Year of the Volunteer in Michigan;
(2) Judith Hooker suggested, and the others concurred,
that nine regional meetings should be developed to
convene leadership teams, develop local strategies, and
begin to mobilize support and resources;
(3) Governor
Romney suggested the possibility that the President's
Points of Light Foundation designate Michigan as its
one state model, bringing further visibility, prestige
and possibly resources to the effort.
Since that meeting, Romney and Lewis met with
Norman Brown and Joel Orosz at the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, leading to their request for a "concept
paper" on such a statewide initiative coordinated
through the Michigan Nonprofit Forum.

-------~-:

Thank you all !or agreeing to lead small group discussions
at tomorrow's Annual Meeting. You have each already made
significant contributions toward the Forum's creation. Now I
believe we need your strong leadership to draw Trustees tog ether
tc=orrow into an enthusiastic shared vision of its future.
This memo will confirm our conversations, outline the
logistics, and list some organizing questions you may wish to use
as a framework for your group's discussion.

I

Background.
Small group "think tanks" were first proposed
by the Executive Task Group at its August 10 meeting. The _goal s
for those "think tanks" were twofold:
(1) to immerse new
Trustees into the Forum's mission, and (2) to cultivate
collaborative thinking about how best to implement that missi on .
Logietics.
Based on those recommendations, the small group
discussions tomorrow are scheduled from 10:30 to 11:30, after a
BREAK following the general presentations about the Forum.
In
your packets tomorrow, you will find a list of all group members,
as well as room assignments for each group. Two groups wi ll stay
in our double meetingroom (University suites 3 &amp; 4), and two
other groups will move to a nearby large lounge, where the hotel
has extra chairs arranged and reserved for us in two quiet areas
(we were assured!),
Each Trustee will have a number on his jher
nametag, designating a group.
Donna Clarke will lead Trustees to
the Lounge and will stay to "police the area" during the
dis cussi ons.
Please let her know if you have any p~oblems.
Telephone (5 17) 371-4360 • FA..X (5 17) 371-4546

�.a ·
.I!

•
Each group will have a Leader (yourselves), a Reporter
(designated on your lists tomorrow), and a Notetaker (for the
corporate minutes).
Your Reporter will have the responsibility
of summarizing your discussions and recommendations to the larg e r
group before lunch.
Substance of your Discussions. Each small group has a
special emphasis (titles listed above, beside your name), taken
from the MNF Mission statement:
to promote the awareness ~nd
effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to ~dvance t h e
cause o{ voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. As we
discussed, you could structure the discussion by considering
these specific questions:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

What
What
What
What
tor

is the problem?
is already being done about it?
is the most constructive role for MNF?
are the group's recommended 2-3 goals in th i s area
MNF's first year?

Thank you again for your willingness to take on this role.
I know the discussions will provide a strong fram e work for the
Forum's first year.

From: Maryellen J. Lewis
Subject:

Update on our Progress

As some of you already know, we have made real progress
toward implementing the agenda set by the Michigan Volunteer
Coalition in June.
Chairman George Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and
Judith Hooker and I met in September to review your suggestions
and to consider strategies. Based on our discussion, we are
laying groundwork for the following:
I.

Nine regional meetings of leaders, to structure l asting
support systems for voluntarism.

II.

A bipartisan proclamation of 1991 as the Year of t he
Volunteer, with integrated and highly-visible
activities throughout the year.

III . Potential national visibility as a statewide,
integrated model for voluntarism.
IV.

Identification of resources, including strategies for
pooling new sources of support as "social venture
capital" for local initiatives.

Further, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation has invited a concept paper
from us on this initiative as a statewide effort.
We are now circulating an outline for the concept paper and
will convene a second meeting of the Michigan Volunteer Coalition
in the late fall or early winter. In the meantime, please keep
sending your ideas and suggestions of persons we should i nvolve
in this endeavor.

MICHIGAN VOLUNTEER COALITION
First Meeting, June 20 1990
Clarion Hotel, Lansing
12:45 PM
Governor George Romney, Convener
Identifying Sites for Future Volunteer Centers. Based on the morning ' s
successful meeting with Governor Blanchard, Senator Engler and political leaders
from both sides of the aisle, this afternoon's discussion focussed sharply on
the goal of establishing a more extensive infrastructure for voluntarism in
Michigan.
That qoal represents at least two major objectives, now undertaken by the
Michigan Volunteer Coalition:
(1) Help to strepgthen and publicize the thirteen existing Michigan
volunteer service centers; and
(2) Develop a strategy for initiating and cultivating up to thirty new
volunteer service centers across the state.
In the interest of time, Governor Romney suggested that today's
discussion focus on identifying potential sites for new centers. Beg inning
with that list, Coalition members will soon be canvassed to identify local
contacts for further development.
At Governor Romney•s request, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will serve as a
clearinghouse for this information exchange and strategy development:

Natural Groupings". Dorothy A. Johnson, President of the Council of
Michigan Foundations, suggested that the Coalition seek "natural groupings "
of communities when identifying sites, since funding will necessarily be limited .
In the following preliminary list, some groupings may be less appropriate than
others, for many reasons. However, these seemed to be consensus that these are
useful starting points for exploration.

Seven Counties in the Detroit Metro Area
John Macinnes, President of United Community Services in Detroit,
offered to take leadership in expanding to all 7 counties.
Adrian/Leelenau County
Edward 0. Slews, President of the Association of Independent
Colleges and Universites of Michigan, suggested that Adrian College
could be helpful here. In fact, he offered, many of the
independent colleges may be willing to participate, and he
will now alert them to this opportunity to be of service.

Summary of Small Group Reports
from the
10/16/90 Meeting of the MNF Board of Trustees
I.

"To promote the awareness of Michigan's nonprofit sector"
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to make
the public aware of specific segments of the nonprofit
sector, but little is being done to promote general
awareness of the sector as a whole. The group discussed
four steps which could be taken to address this information
gap:
!)Clarify public understanding of the identity of
the nonprofit sector
2)Combine resources of member agencies to raise
the generalawareness
3)Convene educational, legislative, and media
groups to educate them
4)Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits

II. "To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed
ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of
nonprofits could be increased:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services (promote
expertise for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public
education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g.,
through the press)
Emphasize connection between non- and for-profit
sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate
successes

�III "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to (1) promote greater public
understanding of the rationale for volunteering, and (2)
involve schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster
a lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The
group made two recommendations:

IV.

1)

MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer
institutions, including at least the thirteen
volunteer centers and the United Ways, as they
prepare for the President's Points of Light
Foundation media blitz and its implications for
Michigan.

2)

A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to be
established through the MNF. This committee would
most appropriately be chaired by George Romney.

"To advance the cause of philanthropy"
Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)

Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan
in order to determine where gaps exist. This
information should be provided to the Media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.
Disseminate information on the standards of
fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable
Solicitation Act.
Focus on education (K-12). Also focus on foreign
companies.
Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic,
i.e., to include minorities.
MNF can provide information on various nonprofits,
in order to encourage others to improve and
collaborate (e.g., for greater costeffectiveness).

our budget surpluses from the first grant year . Based on those
discussions and the Committee's further deliberations on May 1,
the MNF Finance Committee unanimously recommends the changes
outlined below, using 1990-91 surpluses.
Please Note: We now have preliminary
approval to rollover our program funding
surpluses into programs for the second year.
The following proposed budget changes
leave those program surpluses intact, and
draw only from personnel and administrative
surpluses, while still leaving comfortable
surpluses in every line item.
I.

Creation of a New 1991-92 Staff Position from 1990-91
Personnel Budget surpluses

We have preliminary approval from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation to use most of the personnel budget surpluses for a
new staff position in the second year: Administrative Assistant
(salary range:
$24,000 to 28,000, plus 20% fringe benef i ts) .
That position is built into the Core Budget and the proposed
membership income, so it will be covered by new income in years 3
and thereafter.
RATIONALE:
In the first six start-up months, a
complete staff of two was entirely adequate. Now, however,
that all MNF committees are operating, and now that field
contacts are increasingly important, a third pair of hands
is critical for basic operations. This position will become
ever more important as we expand our internships and
program-related staff.

�Responsibilities of this person will include:
coordinating meetings and managing conferences, providing
staff support to committees, supervising students interns,
managing memberships, producing the newsletter, managing
office staff, and other duties under the direction of the
Executive Director.
The MNF Finance Committee unanimously
recommends approval of the creation of this
new staff position, authorizinq the Executive
Director to fill the position at the
beqinninq of the second qrant year (June
1991).
II.

Funding for additional Computer Technology. including a
small Local Area Network (LAN) and software

We also have preliminary approval from the Kellogg
Foundation to transfer up to $11,500 from administrative
surpluses (rent, postage, phone, copying, printing) to expand
MNF's office technology, in order to accommodate the new staff
member and anticipated program needs during the next few years.
(A comfortable surplus will still be left in each line item.)
RATIONALE: According to Joel Orosz, the Kellogg
Foundation's intent is to support the start-up of the Forum,
including preparing MNF for the years ahead. That includes
investing in systems that will last and grow with MNF,
rather than (as he put it) "cobbling together enough to get
by."
With the new staff member, MNF will need one additional
computer. One computer has already reached memory capacity,
and both current computers must be upgraded to handle
desktop publishing software. With added interns and any
program-related staff, MNF's needs will grow.
With- advice from Joel Orosz and other Kellogg
Foundation staff, our Executive Director ls exploring ways
to expand MNF's computer capacity in light on long-range
needs, including "networking" current and one additional
computers and adding related software. In addition, at
Kellogg's suggestion, she is looking into the purchase of a
laptop computer for use in the field.
The MNF Finance committee unanimously
recommends approval of this budqet chanqe
transferrinq up to $11,500 from 1990-91
surpluses to the "Furniture/Equipment"
cateqory, for use in upqradinq MNF's computer
systems and related office technoloqy.

membership income or other stable sources. The committee
requested that staff prepare a dues structure, for discussion at
the 4/23 Finance Committee meeting.

possible, M. Lewis proposed and the Subcommittee agreed to target
this task for summer.

Minutes
of the
MNF Membership Committee Meeting
Wednesday, April 3, 1991 -- 10:00 to 12:00
(421 W. Kalamazoo Street, Lansing -- Third Floor Conference Room)
Trustees Present: B. Goldman (Chair), J. King, L. Young
Staff present: D. Clarke, M. Lewis

1.

Welcome and Call to Order. B. Goldman welcomed the
Committee and called the meeting to order at 10:05.

2.

Review of the Minutes. Minutes of the March 19, 1991
meeting were approved as corrected.

3.

Review of the Proposed Membership Structure. J. King and M.
Lewis reported on the related Finance Committee meeting on
March 27, where the issue of membership dues was briefly
discussed and a special Finance Subcommittee on Membership
Dues was appointed. J. King will attend that meeting on
April 18, and B. Goldman will also try to attend.
Membership Committee members reaffirmed that this Committee
is responsible for developing the conceptual framework and
guidelines for membership, not the specific dollar amounts,
which will be proposed by the Finance Committee.

4.

Review of the proposed Bylaws Amendment. The Committee
approved the proposed Bylaws Amendment, with several
revisions:
Article !(1), end of the second paragraph: "At-Large
Members shall serve terms of two years and may succeed
themselves. Elected Associate Members shall serve twoyear terms and ~ay not succeed themselves more than
once."
Article !(2), next to last paragraph:
elected" (not "selected")

"shall be

Article !(2), end of the last paragraph:
shall have equal rights and privileges."

"All Trustees

�Article III(2): "At-Large Members shall serve two-year
terms and may succeed themselves. Elected Associate
Members shall serve two-year terms and may not succeed
themselves more than once."
The amendment will allow five new Board positions, to be
elected from among the nonvoting Associate Members.
After some discussion, the Committee was unable to
resolve the confusion over names of membership categories
(e.g., the use of "members" for both voting and non-voting
positions). This issue was therefore postponed to a future
discussion.
In a related discussion, concern was
expressed about certain confusing
passages in the Bylaws. However, the
Committee agreed that none of them
represented serious obstacles at the
moment. Instead, the Committee will
recommend that the Board conduct a
complete review of the Bylaws at the end
of Year 3.
5.

Recommendations of a Dues/Contribution Structure. The
Committee agreed to recommend to the Finance Committee that
a "stairstep" design for dues would be much preferable to
either of the standard "percentage of budget" models.

6.

Initial Discussion of an Associate Membership Campaign.
Committee members agreed that a membership campaign could be
developed over the summer and mounted in the fall, giving
the Committee nearly two years to build the membership base
before the end of the Kellogg grant in June 1993.

7.

Follow-up Tasks and Assiqments to Staff. The Committee
requested that a summary of the Finance Subcommittee on
Membership meeting be sent to each of them.
The Committee also noted for the next meeting that they
must develop a clearer definition of policies and procedures
f or nominations, and must also consider the transition of
new members and procedures for delinquent members (e.g.,
those who default o~dues).

The Meeting adjourned at 12:00.

Minutes
of the
MNF Membership Committee Meeting
Wednesday. April 3. 1991 -- 10:00 to 12:00
(421 W. Kalamazoo Street, Lansing-- Third Floor Conference Room)
Trustees Present: B. Goldman (Chair), J. King, L. Young
Staff present: D. Clarke, M. Lewis

1. Welcome and Call to Order. B. Goldman welcomed the Committee and called the
meeting to order at 10:05.
2.

Review of the Minutes. Minutes of the March 19, 1991 meeting were approved as
corrected.

3. Review of the Proposed Membership Structure. J. King and M. Lewis reported on the
related Finance Committee meeting on March 27, where the issue of membership dues
was briefly discussed and a special Finance Subcommittee on Membership Dues was
appointed. J. King will attend that meeting on April 18, and B. Goldman will also try
to attend.
Membership Committee members reaffirmed that this Committee is responsible for
developing the conceptual framework and guidelines for membership, not the specific
dollar amounts, which will be proposed by the Finance Committee.
4.

Review of the proposed Bylaws Amendment. The Committee approved the proposed
Bylaws Amendment, with several revisions:
Article 1(1), end of the second paragraph: "At-Large Members shall serve
terms of two years and may succeed themselves. Elected Associate Members
shall serve two-year terms and may not succeed themselves more than once."
Article 1(2), next to last paragraph: "shall be elected" (not "selected")
Article 1(2), end of the last paragraph: "All Trustees shall have equal rights and
privileges."
Article III(2): "At-Large Members shall serve two-year terms and may succeed
themselves. Elected Associate Members shall serve two-year terms and may not
succeed themselves more than once."

�The ~endment ~ill allow five new Board positions, to be elected from among the
nonvotmg Assoc1ate Members.
After some discussion, the Committee was unable to resolve the confusion over
names of membership categories (e.g., the use of "members" for both voting and nonvoting positions). This issue was therefore postponed to a future discussion.
In a related discussion, concern was expressed about
certain confusing passages in the Bylaws. However, the
Committee agreed that none of them represented serious
obstacles at the moment. Instead, the Committee will
recommend that the Board conduct a complete review of
the Bylaws at the end of Year 3.

5.

Recommendations of a Dues/Contribution Structure. The Committee agreed to
recommend to the Finance Committee that a "stairstep" design for dues would be much
preferable to either of the standard "percentage of budget" models.

6.

Initial Discussion of an Associate Membership Campaign. Committee members agreed
that a membership campaign could be developed over the summer and mounted in the
fall, giving the Committee nearly two years to build the membership base before the
end of the Kellogg grant in June 1993.

7.

Follow-up Tasks and Assigments to Staff. The Committee requested that a summary of
the Finance Subcommittee on Membership meeting be sent to each of them.
The Committee also noted for the next meeting that they must develop a clearer
definition of policies and procedures for nominations, and must also consider the
transition of new members and procedures for delinquent members (e.g., those who
default on dues).

8. The Meeting adjourned at 12:00.

II.

I n troduct i on to MNF Mission and Programs :
1)

Background. R. Mawby reviewed the history and purpose of
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum.

2)

Overview. Acting Executive Director M. Lewis reviewed the
actions of the original MNF Steering Committee and programs
now in place or under development, including
The Michigan Communication Project
Formation of a Michigan Scholars Network

�Work with several colleges and universities on programs
related to the nonprofit sector
3)

Michigan volunteer Coalition. Governor Romney reported on
the formation of the informal Michigan Volunteer Coalition
in June 1990 and the appointment of Co-chairs by Governor
Blanchard and Senator Engler to serve with him . He reported
that the Coalition's leadership had been working with the
MNF Acting Executive since the June meeting, to plan next
steps.

4)

Computer Bulletin Board. T. Bernthal reported on the
Michigan Community College Association's generous offer to
sponsor an MNF Computer Bulletin Board through MCCA's
existing technology. He introduced C.J. Schroll from MCCA,
who reviewed the details of the system and invited Trustees
to contact him for demonstrations.

III. Small Group Discussion:
"Translating the Vision into Action" .
The Trustees broke into four groups for discussion of MNF's four
Mission Areas.
IV.

Reports of Small Groups to the Whole:
Mission Area I:
"To promote the awareness of Michigan's
nonprofit sector."
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to make
the public aware of specific segments of the nonprofit
sector, but l1ttle to promote general awareness. The group
discussed four steps which could be taken to address this
information gap:
1)

2)
3)
4)

Clarify public understanding of the identity of the
nonprofit sector
Combine resources of member agencies to raise the
general awareness
Convene educational, legislative, and media groups to
discuss sector-wide issues
Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits

Mission Area II:
"To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's
nonprofit sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed
ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of
nonprofits could be increased:
1)

2)
3)
4)
5)
6)

Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services

�7)
8)
9)
10)

(promote expertise for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public
education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g., through
the press)
Emphasize the connection between non- and for-profit
sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate successes

Mission Area III: "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to (1) promote greater public
awareness of the rationale for volunteering, and (2) inv olv e
schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster a
lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The
groups made two recommendations.
1) MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer
institutions, including at least the thirteen volunteer
centers and the United Ways, as they prepare for the
President's Points of Light Foundation media blitz and
its implications for Michigan.
2) An MNF voluntarism coordinating committee needs to
be established. This Committee would most
appropriately be chaired by George Romney.
Its main
function would be (a) to identify and contact all
groups who need to know about the 1991 "blitz " and (b)
set the stage for the continuation of these efforts
beyond the "blitz".
The Trustees unanimously approved the creation of
an HNF Board committee -- the Coordinating
Committee on Voluntarism -- to facilitate a
statewide initiative for voluntarism in Michigan.
Further, they approved the proposal that the
bipartisan leadership of the Coalition become the
leadership of the Forum's Coordinating Committee
(now himself as Chair, and Janet Blanchard and
Judith Hooker as Co-chairs). Membership of the
Coordinating Committee will be open to nonTrustees and will consist of broad-based
organizations and networks with significant impact
on volunteering in Michigan.
Mission Area IV:

"To advance the cause of philanthropy"

Group 4 discussed several proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:
1)
2)

Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan in
order to determine where gaps exist. This information
should be provided to the media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.

�3)
4)
5)
6)
7)

Disseminate information on the standards of fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable Solicitation Act
Focus on K-12 education, as well as education of foreign
companies in traditions of giving
Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic, i.e.,
to include minorities
MNF can provide information on various nonprofits, in
order to encourage others to improve and collaborate
(e.g., for greater cost-effectiveness)

1. Welcome and Introductions. Co-Chairs Beverley McDonald
and Helen Philpott convened the meeting at 1:10 and
introduced members.
1. Review of the Committee's Responsibilities and
Str ucture. M. Lewis reviewed the purposes of the Committee
from the Bylaws, including the provision for inclusion of
non-Trustee members. After some discussion, the committee
agreed with S. Johns-Boehme's proposal that this committee
serves three primary purposes:
a.
Initiation of programs -- that is, new program
ideas will be reviewed, developed and even conceived
here, for recommendation to the full Board.
b. Coordination of programs -- that is, since MNF
programs cut across all parts of the nonprofit sector,
this committee's members {themselves representing
diverse parts of t:he sector) will carry responsibility
for coordinating among their networks in the planning
and development stages of MNF's broad-based
initiatives.
c. Support of and leadership for MNF programs during
implementation. Where this is required, it may take
the form, for example, of Task Forces or Work Groups,
each carrying responsibility for a particular

�initiative that requires coordination across the
nonprofit sector.
3. Review of MNF's Four Mission Areas. M. Lewis presented
the Forum's mission statement and its four parts, which form
t h e basis for programming: Promoting philanthropy,
p r omoting voluntarism, increasing public awareness of the
nonprofit sector, and improving the capacity of the
nonprofit sector in Michigan.
4 . Review of the 10/16/90 MNF Board brainstorming list.
The summary (attached) was discussed and clarified.
5. Proaram Uodate. M. Lewis reported on programming since
J u ne 1990 (outline attached).
6. Brainstorming: Discussion of the Four Mission Areas.
During the discussion, several issues were emphasized for
potential program development:
a. H. Yamanishi uc·ged that MNF define more precisely
what is a nonprofit, both for public understanding and
to guide policy.
b. P. Williams emphasized leadership issues (citing
Peter Drucker) as critical for the sector, including a
sense of mission and even how to let go when the
mission is accomplished. Can the Forum be helpful
here?
c. B. McDonald agreed, adding that leadership skills
are distinct from management skills, which are also
underdeveloped in the sector. can the Forum be helpful
here?
c. P. Williams suggested, and the committee agreed,
that the issue of Government vs. Nonprofit
Responsibilities is a critical area for public dialogue
and understanding. He suggested a series of videotaped
discussions, with Discussion Guides, that could appear
on Public TV but also could be circulated throughout
the state in orchestrated discussion groups.
7.
Follow-up. The videotape concept was assigned to staff,
to explore with the MNf Chair and other Trustees and to
bring back to this committee.
8.

The committee adjourned at 3:45.

Summary of Small Group Reports
from t h e
10/16/90 Meeting of the MN F Board of Trustees
I.

"To promote the awareness of Michigan's nonprofit
sector"
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to
make the public aware of specific segments of the
nonprofit sector, but little is being done to promote
general awareness of the sector as a whole . The group
discussed four steps which could be taken to address
this information gap:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Clarify public understanding of the identity
of the nonprofit sector
Combine resources of member agencies to raise
the general awareness
Convene educational, legislative, and media
groups to educate them
Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits

II. "To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit
sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and
discussed ten ways in which they felt the overall
effectiveness of nonprofits could be increased:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services
(promote expert i se for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into
public education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g.,
through the press)
Emphasize connection between non- and forprofit sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate
successes

�III "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to {1) promote greater
public understanding of the rationale for volunteering,
and (2) involve schools and colleges in volunteer
efforts to foster a lifelong commitment to volunteering
by today's youth. The group made two recommendations:

IV.

1)

MNF should be supportive of Michigan's
volunteer institutions, including at least
the thirteen volunteer centers and the United
Ways, as they prepare for the President's
Points of Light Foundation media blitz and
its implications for Michigan.

2)

A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to
be established through the MNF. This
committee would most appropriately be chaired
by George Romney.

"To advance the cause of philanthropy"
Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:

1)

2)
3)

4)
5)

6)
7)

Research and analyze contribution data in
Michigan in order to determine where gaps
exist. This information should be provided
to the Media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.
Disseminate information on the standards of
fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable
Solicitation Act.
Focus on education (K-12). Also focus on
foreign companies.
Aim to help philanthropy become more
pluralistic, i.e., to include minorities.
MNF can provide information on various
nonprofits, in order to encourage others to
improve and collaborate (e.g., for greater
cost-effectiveness).

ASSOCIATES/ "NETWORK ASSOCIATES"
i.e., smaller
associations or organizations that represent networks,
such as the Michigan Community Arts Agency Asn, and
Midland Voluntary Action Center, or the Flint Council
for the Arts. These organizations will be the
operating network reaching into Michigan communities,
to make the Forum's work possible! Many in this pool
are already under the umbrella of an MNF Organizational
Member but may choose to become a more direct partner
in the Forum's work. They will then be eligible for
election onto the Board (5 new Trustee positions), if
the proposed Bylaws amendment is adopted.
