MEYER September 30, 1991 • Admitted only in Massachusetts MEMORANDUM To: Mary Ellen Lewis From: Janne Gallagher Re: Independent Sector Nonprofit Criteria Project Attached is a copy of a two-page working paper prepared last May by the steering group for the Independent Sector Nonprofit Criteria Project. This document was drafted last spring to stimulate discussion among steering group members and is not, by any means, a final document. Independent Sector has asked me to undertake the task of preparing draft statements, based on the May working paper, for each of eight subsector groups. Once subsector statements have been completed and approved, the plan c alls for preparation of a composite statement for the sector as a whole. Independent Sector has no objection to limited circulation of the working paper for purposes of your meeting so long as recipients are informed that the document is a working draft prepared for the purpose of initiating discussion and that the final document may differ substantially from this draft. Accordingly, if you circulate the working paper , I would appreciate your attaching a copy of this memo to it. c c: Bob smucker �Independent Sector Nonprofit Criteria Project Draft 5/30/91 THE ROLE OF THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR The Voluntary sector Defined. From its birth, America has been greatly enriched by the strength of its voluntary sector. So diverse that we often lose sight of its underlying unity, the voluntary sector comprises those ·non-commercial, nongovernmental organizations committed to advancing the public good. All operate as nonprofits, subject to a fundamental legal ban on private benefit. Controlled by volunteer boards, their assets irrevocably dedicated to public purposes, the organizations of the voluntary sector are, in a very real sense, owned by the public. They pursue a broad range of public service activities, grouped in this report under eight heads: Arts, civic and Human Rights ·, Education, Environment, Health, Public Aifairs, Religion, and Social Welfare . . The size of the Voluntary Sector . . The most recent comprehensive estimates show that in 1987, the approximately 907,000 organizations of the voluntary sector employed approximately 10% of the total work force, as compared with 7~% in the business ·sector and 18% in government. Voluntary sector organizations had total financial support of $327 billion, of which roughly 27% was from contributions, 26% from government support, and 39% from fees and dues. This financial support was powerfully supplemented by nearly 90 million volunteers, who provided an estimated 14.8 billion hours of service, with an estimated value of $80 billion. The Contribution o! the Voluntary Sector. While these data provide some sense of the sector's size, they do not provide a true measure of its importance in American life. This must be understood, instead, in terms of the important social and cultural values that the sector embodies and sustains. As leaders from other countries increasingly recognize, much of what is best in the American character is nurtured by, and finds expression through, the voluntary sector. j ! Givinq, serv~ce, and Community. The voluntary sector affirms that each person has a basic moral obligation to care for and serve others. This communitarian ethic is a critical counterweight to the individualism of the free market. By challenging people to give time and money for the public good, voluntary organizations do much to create the fundamental sense of community without which business and government could not function. 1 Pluralism. The voluntary sector affirms the value of diversity and dissent, champions the rights of women and minorities, and provides a structure through which individuals and groups are encouraged to act on their own values and beliefs about the public good. The sector thus allows American society to address, through voluntary action, myriad public problems on which the majority consensus required for governmental action does not exist. Discussion Draft - Not for General Circulation �,. j civic Participation. The voluntary sector encourages civic participation and advocacy in the public interest. By providing the principal means and inspiration for individuals to join together to advocate for positive social change, the sector sustains and renews our democratic process. I Development o~ Ruman Potential. The voluntary sector affirms the dignity and worth of each person, and the importance to both the individual and society of encouraging the fullest development of human potential. The sector embodies America's commitment to excellence in education, scholarship, research, and artistic expression. Voluntary organizations also affirm the importance in human development of strong families, sound health, a healthy environment, and positive moral character. j Compassionate Response to Ruman Need. The :voluntary sector calls upon society to respond compassionately to persons in need. As America's social conscience, voluntary organizations mobilize community resources to care for the poor, the sick and disabled, the elderly and others with special needs, both here and around the world. Faith. The religious organizations of the voluntary sector encourage persons in their search for meaning and purpose through religious faith, and provide for the practical expression of faith through a broad range of charitable enterprises. Religious organizations play a crucial role in sustaining the values of justice, compassion, and service. The Volilntarv Sector• s Relation to Government, Business, and the Public. Absent the voluntary sector, neither government nor business could sustain these values, and yet · both are critically dependent upon them. Both government and business, and, indeed, every American, thus have a fundamental interest in·preserving a strong voluntary sector. As a first step toward this goal, i t is important that both business and governmental leaders, and the public, have a deeper understanding of, and involvement with the voluntary sector. Beyond this. i t is important that government: (~) preserve charitable tax exemption and contribut·ion deduction rules that provide full support for tlle, full range of voluntary sector organizations, ( 2) encourage the advocacy efforts of voluntary organizations, (3) respect the voluntary sector's need for independence and the limits of the voluntary sector's financial resources, and (4) develop partnerships with the voluntary sector that reflect the sector's unique ability to mobilize community resources and adaot to the needs of diverse communities. · Likewise, it is imoortant that business: (~) provide strong financial support for the voluntary sector, (2) encourage employees to give time and money to support voluntary organizations, and (3} understand and support the appropriate role of earned income activities by voluntary organizations. Finally, it is important that every American accept the responsibility of service, and, through gifts of time and money, sustain and extend the uniquely American tradition of volunteer response to public needs.

[Not Yet Adopted] Minutes of the MNF Membership Committee Meeting October 8, 1991 -- 1:00 to 2:45 Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, MI Trustees Present: Guests Present: Staff Present: Barbara K. Goldman Kenneth Gruber Leonard M. Young Lawrence Wells Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With Acting Chair L. Young present, the meeting was called to order at 1:05 p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the August 6, 1991 meeting of the Membership Committee. 3. Review of the DRAFT Brochure: M. Lewis discussed the development of the DRAFT MNF brochure. It will be used not only to garner membership, but also to disseminate information on MNF. It includes descriptive information on MNF activities and can also be adapted to include timely information on MNF summits and initiatives. In reviewing the brochure, the committee stressed the importance of outlining and clarifying membership benefits as MNF continues to campaign for members. The committee also made note of minor language and graphic changes. 4. Review of potential Network Associates: The committee reviewed the list of potential Network Associates and the comments and suggestions which had been received from MNF Trustees. The committee again noted the importance of using the brochure for informational as well as membership purposes. Staff will continue to work with Trustees, especially the Michigan League for Human Services, to further define the membership mailing list. �5. Development of Membership Campaign Strategy: After discussion, the committee decided that for the membership campaign to be successful, it would need the personal appeal of MNF's Trustees behind it. The frrst 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 (planned for November). 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. The second phase of the campaign will begin in January with an evaluation of the efforts to date and a second, broader mailing targeted to a specific group of individuals, such as those who attended GGIIT. As a benefit of membership, organizations will receive discounts on MNF events. This second mailing could be timed to arrive prior to the registration period for GGIV, thus providing potential members with a natural incentive to join MNF immediately. 6. Determination of Candidate to replace Helen Milliken: The committee discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons and reviewed the names of potential replacements which had been submitted by MNF Trustees. The committee recommended that Elizabeth Upjohn be named as an AtLarge Member of MNF. The full Board of Trustees will consider this recommendation on October 28, 1991. 7. Confirmation of the Slate of Officers: In order to insure continuity and stability during MNF's crucial start-up years, the committee recommended that MNF's current officers remain in office for a second term. The committee also discussed the need to identify future officers and committee chairs so that they may become familiar with the responsibilities associated with these positions. 8. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 2:45p.m. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Guidin& Principles of the Michiean 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, funders, 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. 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.

Minutes of the Executive Committee Meetin~: October 8, 1991 - 3:00 to 5:00p.m. (Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, MI) Trustees Present: N. Charles Anderson Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Barbara K. Goldman Robert E. Ivory JohnS. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chair present, the meeting was called to order at 3:15p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the August 6, 1991 Executive Committee meeting. 3. Committee Reports: A. Bud~et!Finance Committee: In the absence of Chairman R. Ivory and at his request, M. Lewis presented the report of the Finance Committee. She noted the 1990-91 annual fmancial statement, which was approved at the August 6 Executive Committee Meeting. Then she reviewed the 1991-92 first quarterly report, which includes a revised 1991-92 proposed budget. The revisions recommended by the Finance Committee include adjustments to account for previously unbudgeted income (primarily from interest, reimbursements and unanticipated member contributions). The recommendations from the Finance Committee (attached) included: 1. The approval of $1500 for staff development. 2. The approval of $2500 for equipment to cover the costs of a postage meter, a car phone, and repairs on equipment currently owned by the Forum. 3. The approval of $3500 for MNF's first audit. 4. The approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking, in order to anticipate real costs of adequate office space and utilities. 5. The approval of $3150 for miscellaneous expenses in anticipation of the cost of Director and Officers Liability. �After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the quarterly report and adjusted 199192 budget were adopted unanimously. Additionally, the Finance Committee recommended that the current ceiling on checks without co-signature ($1000) be raised to $2000. M.Lewis noted that, now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling has proven to be awkward and time-consuming. Following a motion duly seconded, the new proposed ceiling was adopted unanimously. B. A..llitit: G. Stevens reported that KPMG Peat Marwick completed an audit of MNF's first seven months, through its audit of the United Way of Michigan for 1990. KPMG is currently reviewing the remaining MNF fiscal data in order to provide MNF with a quote on a full-year audit. C. Membership/Nominating Committee: L. Young reported on the Membership Committee's meeting earlier that afternoon. He discussed the development of the DRAFT MNF brochure, which will be used not only to invite and encourage additional memberships, but also to disseminate information on MNF. In reviewing the brochure, the committee stressed the importance of outlining and clarifying membership benefits as MNF continues to campaign for members. The committee also made note of minor language and design changes. The committee also reviewed the list of potential Network Associates and the comments and suggestions which had been received from MNF Trustees. Staff will continue to work with Trustees, especially the Michigan League for Human Services, to further define the membership mailing list. Further, the committee decided a successful membership campaign will need the personal appeal of MNF's Trustees behind it. 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 (planned for November). 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. The second phase of the campaign will begin in January with an evaluation of the efforts to date and a second, broader mailing. As a benefit of membership, organizations will receive discounts on MNF events. This second mailing could be timed to arrive prior to the registration period for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV, thus providing potential members with a natural incentive to join MNF immediately. The Executive Committee reviewed and discussed this information and agreed that it should be reviewed by the full board at the October 28, 1991 meeting for formal ratification. 2 �- Nominations. L. Young discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons and recommended on behalf of the membership committee that Elizabeth Upjohn be named as an At-Large Member of MNF. The executive committee agreed that R. Mawby would discuss this proposition with Elizabeth Upjohn on behalf of MNF. On behalf of the membership committee, L. Young recommended that MNF's current officers remain in office for a second term. The committee also discussed the need to identify future officers and committee chairs so that they may become familiar with the responsibilities associated with these positions. The full Board of Trustees will be presented with these nominating recommendations on October 28, 1991. D. Pro~ram and Public Policy Committees: E. Blews reviewed the joint work of the program and public policy committees. Work continues on the summit planned for January 1992. MNF invited Janne Gallagher, author of the Independent Sector's White Paper on the nonprofit sector, to attend the next joint program/public policy committee meeting, however, she will be unable to attend. E. Blews will therefore meet her in Washington in the near future. E. Blews also discussed a framework to guide the program and public policy committees' work in the future. This framework includes: 1. Constructing the meetings as formal FORUMS - events which bring together leadership from across the sector to learn from one another, address shared issues and develop agendas. 2. Developing a larger public policy agenda, to put specific issues in perspective and give MNF a framework for considering those issues; thus creating a proactive versus reactive environment. 3. Identification of the tangible and intangible benefits nonprofits provide their communities as concrete evidence of PUBLIC BENEFIT, to assist in reeducating the public and public leaders. 4. Seeking rulings from local, state, and federal bodies which clarify and define the nonprofit sector This framework will allow MNF to generate a series of policy papers and tapes which can be used through MNF' s networks across the state and structured into regional/local roundtables, in effect, to create a curriculum for enlightening key audiences across the state. E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers IV Proeram Committee: J. Lore reviewed the work of the GGIV program committee. The theme for this year's conference will be "Living our Mission: Meeting our Public's Needs." 3 �The program structure is as follows: 8:00 9:00 9:45 10:00 12:00 1:30 1:45 3:00 1:45 -9:00 -9:45 - 10:00 - 11:45 - 1:30 - 1:45 -2:45 -4:00 -4:00 Registration Opening Session Break Concurrent Sessions (5) Lunch Break and 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. Keynote Speaker. I. Lore emphasized that the keynote speaker sets the tone for the entire conference. The opening session needs a charismatic, thoughtprovoking speaker who is in-tune with the independent sector, someone of prominence and broad-based appeal. For the flrst three years the opening speaker has been a male. This year the GGIV program committee would like to invite a female to be the opening speaker. Two names under consideration are Elizabeth Dole and Marian Wright Edelman. - 4. Discussion of the Annual Meeting and Priorities for 1991-92: Due to time constraints, R. Mawby and M. Lewis suggested that the committee postpone the report of the Executive Director and the preliminary executive review so that they could concentrate on the discussion of the annual meeting and priorities for 1991-92. After discussion, the committee agreed that priority setting should be the main focus of the annual meeting. Trustees should evaluate and identify immediate, annual and long term goals of the Forum. M. Lewis reviewed preliminary plans to incorporate breakout sessions in which trustees would be able to discuss and evaluate MNF' s priorities for 1991-92. The committee noted that it would be helpful for trustees to have the list of proposed priorities in advance of the October 28, 1991 meeting. Staff will work to incorporate the survey process into the annual meeting format. 5. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:05p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Secretary 4 �MICIDGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, 1\flCIDGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327 An alliance to promote giving, volunturing and a strong, tfftctivt nonprofit sector in Michigan. Recommendations of the Finance Committee to the Executive Committee on October 8. 1991 (Incorporated into the 1991-92 Proposed Budget as Presented) The following recommendations draw on unbudgeted income from 1990-91 and projected for 1991-92, from interest, reimbursements and additional board contributions. 1. Staff Development: The committee recommends approval of $1500 for staff development. These funds will be used primarily for computer training and training of the administrative assistant in such skills as nonprofit accounting and budgeting. 2. EQuipment: Currently, funds budgeted for equipment are largely earmarked for the networked computer system approved last year, and for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV. The committee recommends approval of an additional $2500 for equipment. With current funds, this will cover: - a postage meter ($2000) -car phone ($300) and related monthly costs ($500) --repairs, including a pending computer repair on MNF's original computer. 3. Audit: Estimates are now being sought for MNF's first audit. Based on experience, the UWM Director of Finance estimates that the cost will be between $3000 and $3500. For that purpose, the committee recommends approval of $3500 for the audit. 4. Rent and Utilities: MNF is now in donated space, where the cost of parking is minimal. However, the board should continue to anticipate realistic costs in the budget. This is particularly true since MNF has grown-- now with 3 staff and 2 interns-- and current space is inadequate. To anticipate the real costs of adequate office space and utilities, the committee recommends approval of $2750 for rent and $466 for parking. 5. Miscellaneous Expenses: In anticipation of costs of Directors and Officers Liability insurance (bids are pending), the committee recommends approval of $3150 for Miscellaneous Expenses. ADDmONAL RECOMMENDATION on the Check-writine Policy: Now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling on checks without cosignature ($1000) has proven to be very awkward and time-consuming. The committee recommends that the board adopt a new ceiling of $2000. The committee also recommends that MNF staff be bonded (in process). �MICIDGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, MICIDGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327 All allianct to promolt giving, volunturing and a strong, tfftclit'l n.onprofit stctor in Michigan. Minutes of the MNF Executive Committee Meeting August 6, 1991 - 12:30 to 3:00p.m. (Galaxy Room, Kellogg Center, East Lansing, Ml) Members Present: Edward 0. Blews Robert E. Ivory Dorothy A. Johnson JohnS. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Helen C. Philpott Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke David 0 . Egner Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Ca11 to Order: With the Chairman present, the meeting was called to order at 12:40 p.m. 2. Chairman's Report: R. Mawby reported on several items. The issue of "tipping" MNF is currently being reviewed by the Kellogg Foundation. Kellogg and MNF are working with the United Way of Michigan to resolve this situation. Regarding office space, James Votruba of MSU has informed M. Lewis that MNF may continue to use office space in the Kellogg Center indefinitely. MSU is also working to provide one additional office for MNF. Due to the uncertain future of the Michigan Council for the Arts, B. Goldman, the current Executive Director, suggested that L. Young replace her as the Membership Committee's Chair. For an interim period, L. Young was appointed Acting Chair. The committee decided that it would be appropriate to send B. Goldman a letter of appreciation for all of her efforts on behalf of MNF. [Subsequently, it was learned that B. Goldman would not be leaving the Council immediately, and that she will continue 1 �to serve on the MNF board but, since her future is still uncertain, she prefers that L. Young continue as Acting Chair.] Several Organizational members have new leadership: Ann Rosewarne is the new Executive Director of the Michigan Health Council, and Gerard Keidel is the new Executive Director of the Michigan Association of School Administrators. Further, the Jewish Community Council has a new Board Representative, Kathleen Strauss. Given these changes in the board make-up, the Executive Committee was asked to consider restructuring the various board committees, and recommendations for committee assignments were invited. The committee was also asked to reflect on a replacement for Helen Milliken, who was forced to resign from the board for health reasons. MNF's role in several significant statewide initiatives was reviewed. MNF, working with the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Campus Compact, sponsored a series of planning meetings leading to a design for a Youth Service Michigan plan. The plan is currently being recommended to the new Governor's Commission on Youth Service Michigan. In conjunction with the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, MNF is developing a media campaign to promote volunteering during a Michigan Year of the Volunteer during 1992. With Governor Romney's leadership, MNF is designing a Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism, with corporate leadership and broad-based involvement, to promote voluntarism next year. MNF is working with the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to create an expanded network of VAC's across the state. MNF is collaborating with the Nonprofit Michigan Project (Mark Wilson) and researchers at colleges and universities across the state for better information on the nonprofit sector. 3. Committee Updates: A. Budget & Finance Committee. R. Ivory presented four finance reports covering Income & Expenses for Year 1 (1990-1991), Proposed Budget for Year 2 (1991-1992), Revised Year 2 Budget Including Grantmakers Grantseekers Seminar Budget, and a comparison of Original and Revised Budgets for Year 1. Following discussion, the committee provisionally approved the budget reports, pending Finance Committee review. The committee also recommended that for future discussions only the combined budget report be used. The committee also unanimously agreed to invoice MNF Organizational Members for their 1992 dues contribution at this time. B. Audit. G. Stevens stated that MNF should consider contracting for an audit versus having it done pro bono. This would provide legal recourse should any problems arise. Further, G. Stevens suggested that in light of the fact that KPMG Peat Marwick has completed a partial audit of MNF through its audit of the United Way of Michigan, they should be approached to perform a sub-audit on the remaining MNF fiscal data. 2 �C. Membership. L. Young reported that the Membership Committee met earlier that morning. At that time the committee reviewed the bylaws amendments in Article I & m, the membership structure, and the dues and contributions schedule which were approved by the Board of Trustees on 5/9/91. The committee stressed the current need to define and clarify benefits of membership which are associated with each category of Membership. In reviewing the dues structure, the committee reiterated that it would not actively solicit members among current MNF membership organizations, except in consultation and collaboration with the Organizational Member. Further, as recommended by the board, the committee reviewed the category of "Other Members." Committee members determined that this category strictly serves as a bookmark, not an active category. It merely allows the board to create new membership categories in the future, should it choose to do so. The committee recommended that the entire membership structure continue to be reviewed as the membership grows. In light of MNF' s dues and contributions schedule, the committee determined that MNF should begin a targeted membership drive during the fall of 1991. A brochure will be developed which will be mailed in October to a targeted membership list consisting of 100 organizations. This target list will be made available to Organizational Members for comment before the campaign begins. Organizational Members will also provide one-to-one follow-up contact to organizations targeted for membership. D. Public Policy Committee and Program Committee. E. Blews and B. McDonald, the respective co-chairs, reported on the joint committee meeting held on July 26, 1991. The committees are planning a public policy summit which will highlight the common characteristics of nonprofits organizations, as well as the mutuality of interest and concern which exists among them. This would help to define what the nonprofit sector is, why it is necessary, and how it serves the public good. The committees agreed that the audience for the summit should be composed of representatives from the nonprofit sector, the government, and the private sector. Participation will be by invitation only and will be limited to fifty individuals. The seminar will open with a one-hour scholarly presentation on the definition of the nonprofit sector. This presentation will include a legal history of nonprofits, as well as a current overview of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. This presentation will be followed by a one-hour discussion on the unique value of nonprofits in today's society. This discussion will include individuals from the nonprofit sector who represent broad and diverse nonprofit interests. The third and final session of the seminar will focus on a moderated 3 �roundtable discussion which involves individuals from both the nonprofit and public sectors, as well as the private sector. This session will address a specific issue, such as education or health, which involves and affects all three sectors. The panelists will number from 15-20, with an audience of 30-35. The moderator should be a thought-provoking individual who is well-versed in the issue at hand. All three session will be videotaped, to be made available to a larger public. Given the extensive planning for an event of this nature, the committee decided to look at late fall of 1991 or early 1992 for possible seminar dates. E. Blews, B. McDonald, and M. Lewis are working together to fine-tune the invitation list, the date and site, and a follow-up strategy. After discussion, the Executive Committee decided that it would be best to have the summit in January of 1992 so that it would not conflict with the many events already planned for the fall of 1991. E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Committee. J. Lore reported that GGill was the most successful seminar to date. Over 1260 people were in attendance. Diana Sieger of the Grand Rapids Foundation will replace Dorothy Johnson of the Council of Michigan Foundations as co-chair for GGIV, which is scheduled for April 24, 1992, at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. After discussion the committee decided to raise the registration fee for GGIV to $50. This price will be reduced to $40 if an organization is a member of MNF. This fee increase will help to defray some of the costs of conducting the seminar, now heavily subsidized by the Kellogg Foundation. 4. Rewrt of the Executive Director. M. Lewis reported briefly on highlights of the annual report, which will be distributed to Trustees after Labor Day. 5. Review of the Proposed Personnel Manual. M. Lewis circulated the proposed MNF Personnel Manual among the committee members. After discussion, members were asked to review the manual and forward any comments to B. Ivory for consideration. 6. Su~gestions for At-large Member. Committee members discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons. R. Mawby asked the committee to consider potential replacements. Several names were mentioned. Staff will work to further identify potential candidates and will keep the committee informed of its progress. 7. Discussion of a Goal-Setting Process. Due to time constraints, the committee decided to table this issue until the next meeting of the Executive Committee on October 8, 1991. In the meantime, M. Lewis will meet with R. Mawby to review MNF's goalsetting process. 4 �8. Executive Performance Review. The officers of the committee decided to move the Executive Performance Review to October 8, 1991. This meeting will follow the full meeting of the Executive Committee. 9. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 3:05p.m. Respectfully submitted, Edward 0. Blews, Jr. Secretary 5 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting October 8, 1991 - 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. (Kellogg Center, Vista Room, East Lansing, MI) NOT YET ADOPTED Trustees Present: N. Charles Anderson Edward O. Slews, Jr. Barbara K. Goldman Robert E. Ivory John S. Lore Russell G. Mawby Beverley L. McDonald Glenn R. Stevens Staff Present: Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 1. Welcome and Call to Order: With the Chair present, the meeting was called to order at 3:15 p.m. 2. Review of the Minutes: The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the August 6, 1991 Executive Committee meeting. 3. Committee Reports: A. Budget/Finance Committee: In the absence of Chairman R. Ivory and at his request, M. Lewis presented the report of the Finance Committee. She noted the 1990-91 annual financial statement, which was approved at the August 6 Executive Committee Meeting. Then she reviewed the 1991-92 first quarterly report, which includes a revised 1991-92 proposed budget. The revisions recommended by the Finance Committee include adjustments to account for previously unbudgeted income (primarily from interest, reimbursements and unanticipated member contributions). The recommendations from the Finance Committee (attached) included: 1. The approval of $1500 for staff development. 2. The approval of $2500 for equipment to cover the costs of a postage meter, a car phone, and repairs on equipment currently owned by the Forum. 3. The approval of $3500 for MNF's first audit. �4. The approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking, in order to anticipate real costs of adequate office space and utilities. 5. The approval of $3150 for miscellaneous expenses in anticipation of the cost of Director and Officers Liability. After discussion and a motion duly seconded, the quarterly report and adjusted 199192 budget were adopted unanimously. Additionally, the Finance Committee recommended that the current ceiling on checks without co-signature ($1000) be raised to $2000. M.Lewis noted that, now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling has proven to be awkward and time-consuming. Following a motion duly seconded, the new proposed ceiling was adopted unanimously. B. Audit: G. Stevens reported that KPMG Peat Marwick completed an audit of MNF's first seven months, through its audit of the United Way of Michigan for 1990. KPMG is currently reviewing the remaining MNF fiscal data in order to provide MNF with a quote on a full-year audit. C. Membership/Nominating Committee: L. Young reported on the Membership Committee's meeting earlier that afternoon. He discussed the development of the DRAFT MNF brochure, which will be used not only to invite and encourage additional memberships, but also to disseminate information on MNF. In reviewing the brochure, the committee stressed the importance of outlining and clarifying membership benefits as MNF continues to campaign for members. The committee also made note of minor language and design changes. The committee also reviewed the list of potential Network Associates and the comments and suggestions which had been received from MNF Trustees. Staff will continue to work with Trustees, especially the Michigan League for Human Services, to further define the membership mailing list. Further, the committee decided a successful membership campaign will need the personal appeal of MNF's Trustees behind it. 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 (planned for November). 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. The second phase of the campaign will begin in January with an evaluation of the efforts to date and a second, broader mailing. As a benefit of membership, organizations will receive discounts on MNF events. This second mailing could be �timed to arrive prior to the registration period for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar IV, thus providing potential members with a natural incentive to join MNF immediately. The Executive Committee reviewed and discussed this information and agreed that it should be reviewed by the full board at the October 28, 1991 meeting for formal ratification. Nominations. L. Young discussed the resignation of Helen Milliken from the Board of Trustees for health reasons and recommended on behalf of the membership committee that Elizabeth Upjohn be named as an At-Large Member of MNF. The executive committee agreed that R. Mawby would discuss this proposition with Elizabeth Upjohn on behalf of MNF. On behalf of the membership committee, L. Young recommended that MNF's current officers remain in office for a second term. The committee also discussed the need to identify future officers and committee chairs so that they may become familiar with the responsibilities associated with these positions. The full Board of Trustees will be presented with these nominating recommendations on October 28, 1991. D. Program and Public Policy Committees: E. Blews reviewed the joint work of the program and public policy committees. Work continues on the summit planned for January 1992. MNF invited Janne Gallagher, author of the Independent Sector's White Paper on the nonprofit sector, to attend the next joint program/public policy committee meeting, however, she will be unable to attend. E. Blews will therefore meet her in Washington in the near future. E. Blews also discussed a framework to guide the program and public policy committees' work in the future. This framework includes: 1. Constructing the meetings as formal FORUMS ~ events which bring together leadership from across the sector to learn from one another, address shared issues and develop agendas. 2. Developing a larger public policy agenda, to put specific issues in perspective and give MNF a framework for considering those issues; thus creating a proactive versus reactive environment. 3. Identification of the tangible and intangible benefits nonprofits provide their communities as concrete evidence of PUBLIC BENEFIT, to assist in reeducating the public and public leaders. �4. Seeking rulings from local, state, and federal bodies which clarify and define the nonprofit sector. This framework will allow MNF to generate a series of policy papers and tapes which can be used through MNF's networks across the state and structured into regional/local roundtables, in effect, to create a curriculum for enlightening key audiences across the state. E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers IV Program Committee: J. Lore reviewed the work of the GGIV program committee. The theme for this year's conference will be "Living our Mission: Meeting our Public's Needs." The program structure is as follows: 8:00 9:00 9:45 10:00 12:00 1:30 1:45 3:00 1:45 - 9:00 - 9:45 - 10:00 - 11:45 - 1:30 - 1:45 -2:45 - 4:00 - 4:00 Registration Opening Session Break Concurrent Sessions (5) Lunch Break and Concurrent sessions (3 @ Ihr, 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. Keynote Speaker. J. Lore emphasized that the keynote speaker sets the tone for the entire conference. The opening session needs a charismatic, thoughtprovoking speaker who is in-tune with the independent sector, someone of prominence and broad-based appeal. For the first three years the opening speaker has been a male. This year the GGIV program committee would like to invite a female to be the opening speaker. Two names under consideration are Elizabeth Dole and Marian Wright Edelman. 4. Discussion of the Annual Meeting and Priorities for 1991-92: Due to time constraints, R. Mawby and M. Lewis suggested that the committee postpone the report of the Executive Director and the preliminary executive review so that they could concentrate on the discussion of the annual meeting and priorities for 1991-92. After discussion, the committee agreed that priority setting should be the main focus of the annual meeting. Trustees should evaluate and identify immediate, annual and long term goals of the Forum. M. Lewis reviewed preliminary plans to incorporate breakout sessions in which trustees would be able to discuss and evaluate MNF's �priorities for 1991-92. The committee noted that it would be helpful for trustees to have the list of proposed priorities in advance of the October 28, 1991 meeting. Staff will work to incorporate the survey process into the annual meeting format. 5. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Edward O. Blews, Jr., Secretary �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 34 KELLOGG CENTER EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN 48824-1022 Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327 An alliance to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in Michigan. Recommendations of the Finance Committee Octobers. 1991 The following recommendations draw on unbudgeted income from 199091 and projected for 1991-92, from interest, reimbursements and additional board contributions. 1. Staff Development: The committee recommends approval of $1500 for staff development. These funds will be used primarily for computer training and training of the administrative assistant in such skills as nonprofit accounting and budgeting. 2. Equipment: Currently, funds budgeted for equipment are largely earmarked for the networked computer system approved last year, and for GGIV. The committee recommends approval of an additional $2500 for equipment. With current funds, this will cover: - a postage meter ($2000) -- car phone ($300) and related monthly costs ($500) — repairs, including a pending computer repair on MNF's original computer 3. Audit: Estimates are now being sought for MNF's first audit. Based on experience, the UWM Director of Finance estimates that the cost will be between $3000 and $3500. For that purpose, the committee recommends approval of $3500 for the audit. 4. Rent and Utilities: MNF is now in donated space, where the cost of parking is minimal. However, the board should continue to anticipate realistic costs in the budget. This is particularly true since MNF has grown ~ now with 3 staff and 2 interns — and current space is inadequate. To anticipate the real costs of adequate office space and utilities, the committee recommends approval of $2750 for rent and $466.35 for parking. 5. Miscellaneous Expenses: In anticipation of costs of Directors and Officers Liability insurance (bids are pending), the committee recommends approval of $3149.65 for Miscellaneous Expenses. ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATION on the Check-writing Policy: Now that MNF is located away from the United Way of Michigan, the current ceiling on checks without cosignature ($1000) has proven to be very awkward and time-consuming. The committee recommends that the board adopt a new ceiling of $2000. The committee also recommends that MNF staff be bonded (in process). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

J. Lore emphasized that the keynote speaker sets the tone for the entire conference. The opening session needs a charismatic, thoughtprovoking speaker who is in-tune with the independent sector, someone of prominence and broad-based appeal. For the first three years the opening speaker has been a male. This year the GGIV program committee would like to invite a female to be the opening speaker. Two names under consideration are Elizabeth Dole and Marian Wright Edelman. 4, Discussion of the Annual Meeting and Priorities for 1991-92: Due to time constraints, R. Mawby and M. Lewis suggested that the committee postpone the report of the Executive Director and the preliminary executive review so that they could concentrate on the discussion of the annual meeting and priorities for 1991-92. After discussion, the committee agreed that priority setting should be the main focus of the annual meeting. Trustees should evaluate and identify immediate, annual and long term goals of the Forum. M. Lewis reviewed preliminary plans to incorporate breakout sessions in which trustees would be able to discuss and evaluate MNF's priorities for 1991-92. The committee noted that it would be helpful for trustees to have the list of proposed priorities in advance of the October 28, 1991 meeting. Staff will work to incorporate the survey process into the annual meeting format. 5. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: �Edward O.

[Not Yet Adopted] MINUTES of the Public Policy and Program Committees JOINT PLANNING MEETING October 18, 1991 -- 9:30 to 1:00 p.m. Kellogg Center, Room 107, East Lansing, Michigan TRUSTEES PRESENT: GUESTS PRESENT: STAFF PRESENT: Edward O. Blews, Jr., Co-chair Helen C. Philpott, Co-chair Robert E. Ivory Gerard Keidel Linda Patterson Anne Rosewarne Herbert Yamanishi Darin Day Terry Langston Donna M. Clarke Maryellen J. Lewis 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 the Minutes. The committee reviewed the minutes of the July 26, 1991 joint meeting of the public policy and program committees. Following a motion duly seconded, the minutes were unanimously approved. 3. Report of the Executive Director: M. Lewis reported on the progress of MNF during its first year. In this overview, she emphasized the present opportunity for Trustees to revisit MNF's mission and the commitments established by the board, and to use the Year 1 experience to set priorities for Year 2. It is now possible and necessary to clarify a solid identity for the Forum, for the future. Her report was organized on the basis of these commitments made by the Trustees in the original proposal to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation: A. That MNF would promote dialogue on cross-sector issues; �B. That MNF would share information on the sector, to promote greater public understanding and commitment; C. That MNF would clarify public policy issues related to the sector as a whole; D. That MNF would work to increase the capacity of the sector; and E. That MNF would create an operating organization to accomplish these goals. A synopsis of the report of the executive director is attached. As a matter of record, the Co-chairs and the committee thanked M. Lewis for her excellent report and her fine leadership on behalf of MNF during its crucial startup year. The committee also asked M. Lewis to send a synopsis to the committee chairpersons, who will send it to members who were unable to attend today's meeting. E. Blews also discussed MNF's position in opposition to standards governing nonprofits which have been proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) as further evidence of MNF's impact. The proposed standards would erode financial support for nonprofits, create administrative and valuation burdens and in general distort the financial picture of nonprofits. In light of the information FASB has received, such as MNF's opposition statement, it is re-evaluating the standards. 4. Discussion of a Framework of Guiding Principles for MNF's Work: Chairman Blews proposed that, in order for MNF to establish priorities for the upcoming year, a set of guiding principles would provide a useful framework. Preliminary discussions between the co-chairs and the executive director produced a discussion draft of principles, which committee members had received in advance of the meeting. After lengthy discussion the committee unanimously approved seven Guiding Principles. Further, the committee recommends to the board the adoption of these Principles, from which MNF public policy and program goals will flow. The Principles, listed in priority order, are as follows: A. The future of Michigan's 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 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 the rationale for tax exemption (rather than waiting for it to emerge from the pattern of decisions by government officials) and then play an active role in encouraging Michigan's leadership ~ including elected officials — to embrace it. F. The Michigan nonprofit community should encourage positive public policies and incentives to promote giving to and the vitality of the nonprofit sector. G. 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. [ADJOURN TO THE CORNICHE ROOM FOR A WORKING LUNCH] 5. Update and Discussion of the First MNF Summit in January/February 1992: M. Lewis reviewed the previous work of the joint committees on the summit, which will focus on the changing partnership between the nonprofit sector, government and the private sector. Keynote Speaker. The committee discussed the importance of a keynote speaker who is able to articulate the ongoing, multi-dimensional relationship which exists between the nonprofit, private and public sectors. M. Lewis reported that R. Mawby had offered to approach John Gardner, founder of Common Cause and founding president of Independent Sector. The joint committees agreed unanimously that Mr. Gardner would be ideal, and asked M. Lewis to enlist R. Mawby's help in securing him as the speaker at MNF's first summit. In the event that Mr. Gardner is not available, the committee agreed that Elizabeth Dole of the American Red Cross would be an exceptional speaker. Roundtable Participants. As originally conceived, the roundtable will include 15-18 participants with a moderator and speaker(s). Another 30-40 selected persons will form an outer circle as audience, participating in a formal question-and-answer period after the roundtable discussion. The committee noted that this summit is the first in a series, designed to educate audiences across the state, and also to enlighten the invited participants over the long term. The roundtable participants will be selected to include senior level individuals who are in a position to influence policy, organizational actions and conceptual visions. Participants will be carefully chosen to promote lively and informed, as well as balanced, discussion. These preliminary names were suggested: Mariam Noland, �Executive Director, Community Foundation of Southeastern Michigan; Joseph Bianco, President of the Detroit Institute of Art; Douglas Roberts, State Treasurer; Father Cunningham of Detroit; and several MNF Trustees. Committee members reemphasized that the focus of the summit will be on structural changes and their implications, and that the discussion will be grounded in specifics, not purely abstract. The aim will be to achieve a new understanding of and renewed commitment to the nonprofit sector and its mission of voluntary provision of public goods. Moderator. In choosing a moderator for the roundtable discussion, the committee noted the importance of selecting an individual who is committed to achieving a common understanding of the value of the nonprofit sector as it serves public needs. This is absolutely necessary in order to keep the panelists and the agenda on track. The moderator must be a thought-provoking individual who will encourage the panelists to engage in an enlightening and challenging debate. Cochairperson H. Philpott suggested and the committee agreed that Edward O. Blews, Jr., President of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan would be an ideal moderator. E. Blews, being present, tentatively agreed to moderate the panel discussion, pending program development. Subcommittee to Follow Up. Given the time constraints, the chairs agreed to appoint a sub-committee to continue working on the details of the summit. This subcommittee is made up of E. Blews, H. Philpott, K. Gruber, D. Johnson (represented by L. Patterson), S. Johns-Boehme, M. Lewis and H. Yamanishi. 6. Adjournment.

It was agreed that such a document should build upon and flow from rather than reinvent efforts to develop such a program at the National level and then integrate unique Michigan perspectives for use within this state. A task force consisting of Edward Blews, Chair, Joyce Brown, Sister Monica Kostielney, Maryellen Lewis, Linda Patterson and Herbert Yamanishi w.as formed. The national organization, "Independent Sector" is developing such a national statement, "The WorJr of the Volunteer Sector" through a steering group organized into eight sub sector groups: arts, dvU and human rights, education, environment, health, public offidal, religion and social welfare. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum's Executive Director Maryellen Lewis and Public Policy Committee Chair Edward Blews have discussed this process and the opportunity for Michigan inputs with Independent Sector Vice President Robert Smucker. In view of the Independent Sector process, it makes much sense to coordinate the Michigan White Paper time frame with the Independent Sector process. RECOMMENDATION FOR MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PROCESS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE, THROUGH ITS TASK FORCE APPOINTED FOR THIS PURPOSE, ENDORSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHITE PAPER STATEMENT IN THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT SECTOR THROUGH A PROCESS PARALLELING AND UTILIZING THE WORK BEING DONE ON A SIMILAR NATIONAL STATEMENT BY THE INDEPENDENT SEC.TOR.

MNF Public Policy Committee Subcommittee to Develop a "White Paper" on Michigan's Nonprofit Sector (appointed April 4, 1991) Edward Blews, Chair Joyce Brown Sr. Monica Kostielney Maryellen Lewis Linda Patterson Herbert Yamanishi ref: cm/publpol, 6400 �Independent Sector Nonprofit Criteria Project Draft 5/30/91 THE ROLE OF THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR The Voluntary Sector Defined. From its birth, America has been greatly enriched by the strength of its voluntary sector. So diverse that we often lose sight of its underlying unity, the voluntary sector comprises those ·non-commercial, nongovernmental organizations committed to advancing the public good. All operate as nonprofits, subject to a fundamental legal ban on private benefit. Controlled by volunteer boards, their assets irrevocably dedicated to public purposes, the organizations of the voluntary sector are, in a very real sense, owned by the public. They pursue a broad range of public service activities, grouped in this report under eight heads: Arts, civic and Human Rights·, Education, Environment, Health, Public Affairs, Religion, and Social Welfare . . The Size of the Voluntary Sector . . The most recent comprehensive estimates show that in ~987, the approximately 907,000 organizations of the voluntary sector employed approximately ~0% of the total work force, as compared with 7~% in the business ·sector and ~8% in government. Voluntary sector organizations had total financial support of $327 billion, of which roughly 27% was from contributions, 26% from government support, and 39% from fees and dues. This financial support was powerfully supplemented by nearly 90 million volunteers, who provided an estimated 14.8 billion hours of service, with an estimated value of $80 billion. The Contribution of the Voluntary Sector. While these data provide some sense of the sector's size, they do not provide a true measure of its importance in American life. This must be understood, instead, in terms of the important social and cultural values that the sector embodies and sustains. As leaders from other countries increasingly recognize, much of what is best in the American character is nurtured by, and finds expression through, the voluntary sector. · , J : Givinq, service, and community. The voluntary sector affirms that each person has a basic moral obligation to care for and serve others. This comm.unitarian ethic is a critical counterweight to the individualism of the free market. By challenging people to give time and money for the public good, voluntary organizations do much to create the fundamental sense of community without which business and government could not function. 1 dissent, Pluralism. The voluntary sector affirms the value of diversity.and champions t .h e rights of women and minorities, and prov~des a structure through which individuals and groups are encouraged to act on their own values and beliefs about the public good. The sector thus allows P...merican society to address, through voluntary action, myriad public problems on which the majority consensus required for governmental action does not exist. Discussion Draft - Not f or General Circulation �,. ; I j j civic Participation. The voluntary sector encourages c~v~c participation and advocacy in the public interest. By providing the principal means and inspiration for individuals to join together to advocate for positive social change, the sector sustains and renews our democratic process. Development o~ Human Potential. The voluntary sector affirms the dignity and WOrth Of each person 1 and the importance to both the individual and society ot encouraging the fullest development of human potential. The sector embodies America's commitment to excellence in education, scholarship, research, and artistic expression. Voluntary organizations also affirm the importance in human development of strong 'families, sound health, a healthy environment, and positive moral character. compassionate Response to RUman Need. The :voluntary sector calls upon society to respond compassionately to persons in need. As America's social conscience, voluntary · organizations mobilize community resources to care tor the poor, the sick and disabled, the elderly and others with special needs, both here and around the world. Faith. The religious organizations of the voluntary sector encourage persons in their search for meaning and purpose through religious faith, and provide for the practical expression of faith through a broad range of charitable enterprises. Religious organizations play a crucial role in sustaining the values of justice, compassion, and service. The Volun:tarv sector • s Relation to Government, Business, and the lie. Absent the voluntary sector, neither gove.r nment nor business could stain these values, and yet · both are critically dependent upon them. th government and business, and, indeed, every American, thus have a ndamental interest in ·preserving a strong voluntary sector. As a first step toward this goal, it is important that both business governmental leaders, and the public, have a deeper understanding of, involvement with the voluntary sector. Beyond this. it is important that government: (l) preserve charitable exemption and contribution deduction rules that provide full support r tl1e, full range of voluntary sector organizations, ( 2) encourage the a vocacy efforts of voluntary organizations, (3) respect the voluntary s ctor's need for independence and the limits of the voluntary sector's f · nancial resources, and ( 4) develop partnerships with the voluntary sector t at reflect the sector's unique ability to mobilize community resources a d adapt to the needs of diverse communities. · Likewise, it is imoortant that business: (l) provide strong financial s pport for the voluntary sector, (2) encourage employees to give time and ney to support voluntary organizations, and (3) understand and support e appropriate role of earned income activities by voluntary o ganizations. Finally, it is important that every American accept the r sponsibility of service, and, through gifts of time and money, sustain a d extend the uniquely American tradition of volunteer response to public eds.

ORGANIZATION Michigan Nonprofit Forum ("the Forum") is a nonprofit corporation organized to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state of Michigan. 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of the significant generally accepted accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements. Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Forum have been prepared on the accrual basis. To insure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of resources available to the Forum, the accounts are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Forum are reported in two separate funds as follows: Current Operating Fund - includes the operating assets and liabilities of the Forum. Equipment Fund - includes the property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Income Taxes The Forum has applied for exemption from income tax under Section 501(c) (3) of the u.s. Internal Revenue Code. These financial statements have been prepared on the premise that the Forum's application will be accepted. Functional Expense Allocation Expenses identified as applying to a specific program or support service are recorded in the appropriate service area as incurred. Expenses not directly attributable to a program or support service are allocated between service areas based upon percentages formulated by management through a review of representative expense accounts. 5 �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (NOVEMBER 15, 1990} THROUGH JUNE 30, 1991 (CONTINUED) 3. IN-KIND DONATIONS During the period ended June 30, 1991, the Forum received in-kind donations of office space and administrative services (ie: payroll, accounting, etc.). The donation of office space and the offsetting occupancy expense are reflected in the financial statements. Because the dollar amount of administrative services was not readily ascertainable it is not reflected in the financial statements. 4. GRANT CONTRACT Formal responsibility for a grant contract, issued by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, was transferred from another nonprofit organization to the Forum as of January 1, 1991. The net assets accumulated from the beginning project date (June 1, 1990) through December 31, 1990, consisting of cash, office furniturejequipment and deferred grant revenue, were transferred to the Forum's possession and have been recognized in the statement of support, revenue, expense and changes in fund balance as initial transfer of assets. 6 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

Article for the Michiean State Chamber of Commerce (March 5, 1992) BUSINESS SUPPORTS VOLUNTEERING The Michigan State Chamber of Commerce has joined with leadership from business, government and the nonprofit sector to mount the Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism, which will kick off on April24, 1992 at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn. Former Governor George W. Romney serves as Honorary Chair and initiated the planning process for this statewide Campaign. He enlisted the joint leadership of Campaign Chairman Frank Popoff, CEO of Dow Chemical, and Co-Chairs Mrs. Michelle Engler and Mrs. Janet Blanchard. During the past year, Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Engler have visited communities across the state to learn how communities are already enlisting volunteers to solve social problems, and to plan an agenda for statewide voluntary action. A key focus of the Campaign will be business leadership in promoting voluntarism in every community. Governor Romney has pointed out that, "Today the State of Michigan is more threatened by its internal human and social problems than it is by any external enemy. Fortunately, Americans are joining with their co-workers, fellow church and club members, and neighbors to find ways to make a difference in the lives of those in need. But thousands more Michigan citizens must be called into service to extend the lifeline of hope and opportunity to those being swept up in the tide of social distress. " In his view, business is in a key position to mobilize communities throughout the state -- impelled not only by their civic duty but for their bare survival in these difficult times! Governor Romney, Mr. Popoff, Mrs. Engler and Mrs. Blanchard will be joined in this Campaign by dozens of statewide orga.IDzations and networks, including the State Chamber of Commerce, the Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Rotary International, the Michigan Corporate Volunteer Council, the Retired Senior Volunteer Corps, Urban Leagues of Michigan, the Executive Service Corps, and the United Way of Michigan. Together, these organizations will collaborate with local communities to mount a publicity and promotion campaign throughout the state, with these goals: TO PROMOTE VOLUNTEERING ACROSS THE STATE, AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE OF COMMITMENT TO VOLUNTEERING �WHICH PERMEATES MICHIGAN'S LEADERSHIP, ITS INSTITUTIONS, AND ITS COMMUNITIES. Goal #1: HELP TO INCREASE/IMPROVE THE STRUCTURES WHICH SUPPORT VOLUNTEERING IN MICIDGAN'S INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITIES, especially Volunteer Centers but also including: Workplace volunteer councils and incentives, School volunteer programs, College student volunteer bureaus, Retired senior volunteer programs, and many others. Goal #2: HELP TO INCREASE VOLUNTEERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE 35% OF CITIZENS WHO EXPRESS WILLINGNESS TO VOLUNTEER BUT DO NOT. This is a monumental task, and it can only be accomplished with the assistance and creative action of a multitude of partners. But the Campaign's Coordinating Committee comprises the beginnings of just such a network. The Michigan Year of the Volunteer/Campaign for Voluntarism is unique in the nation. In fact, Chairman Frank Popoff recently received a letter of congratulations from President George Bush, who wrote: "By agreeing to help promote voluntarism in your state, you have donated your time and energy to a very worthwhile cause. Volunteers represent one of our Nation's greatest resources and one of our most effective answers to the social problems that plague our communities -- problems that, if left unsolved, will undermine American education and competitiveness." As a Trustee of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum -- an alliance to promote giving, volunteering and an effective nonprofit sector in Michigan -- Governor Romney enlisted MNF to be the staff agency during the Campaign's startup. So if you want to enlist your members in this Campaign, you can get details by contacting: Maryellen J.

Recommendations of the Finance Committee ~ Executive Committee (April15, 1992) L 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 FY1991-921 Since fringe benefits have not been fully in place for much of FY1991-92, any balance of the 20% for each employee this year should be placed in a Tax-Exempt Annuity for each. #2: MNF's fringe benefits package should include both REQUIRED and OPTIONAL benefits, selected on an annual basis (at the beginning of each fiscal year) by each employee and totaling 20% of salary for each. REQUIRED BENEFITS should not only include the legally-required medical/dental, workers compensation, unemployment, FICA and Medicare, but also short-term disability (probably covered in-house, based on the United Way of Michigan model), coordinated with MNF's sick leave policy and optional long-term disability insurance. OPTIONAL BENEFITS (bringing the personal total up to 20% of salary) should include Dependents' Medical/Dental, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, Tuition Assistance, and a Tax-Exempt Annuity. 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.) �RATIONALE: MNF now has two 286 computers (of a type which cannot be upgraded to 386 or 486-- Compaq Deskpro), one 386 and a laptop (which doubles as the Executive's desktop computer). At any one time, there are at least 5, often 7 persons at work. Student interns' computer work is extensive, but does not require high-powered computers, so a 286 is adequate, when available for them to use. However, the work of the Administrative Secretary -- database filemerges, merge letters, network management-- and of the Administrative Assistant-- accounting, data analysis and desktop publishing- it too timeconsuming to be left to the 286s. For example, an accounting task that is nearly instantaneous on our single 386 may take 5-10 minutes to be processed on the 286. Right now, these staff members juggle their work between the 386 and 286 machines, sometimes postponing critical work until after-hours when schedules compete heavily. We can now purchase a 486/33 computer (200 mgs, 8 mgs of RAM, color monitor) with math coprocessor for less than the 286 cost 18 months ago (with only 40 mgs, 1 mg of RAM, monochrome monitor). This machine would eliminate the need to juggle machines between two key staff members and would free up the second 286 for use by temporary clerical assistants and student interns. Most important, it would greatly facilitate efficient use of scarce staff time. IV. Recommendations concerning Fundraising for F¥1991-92 #1: The MNF Board should adopt a formal policy urging every Trustee to make a personal financial commitment to MNF's work. #2: Upon adoption of this policy of 100% participation, the Board should request that Chairman Mawby write to each Trustee, inviting and encouraging them to make a personal financial commitment to MNF' s work. #3: The board and chairman should also urge each Trustee to assume the additional responsibility of enlisting new MNF Associate Members and Network Members. ref:4/9/92,exe20415.fin ,cm/exe,0100 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
