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 existing efforts in the state) to promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan. To achieve these goals, the Forum will not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. Nor will it provide the fieldspecific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for the•_"first time, a statewide mechanism for dialog, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The Forum has brought together in its Steering Committee and its design not just traditional charitiesi : but also public and private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasingly-recognized stake. The activities of the Forum address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary interests but as public gobds, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of vo 1untar ism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community deve 1opment, education, re 1 i g ion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonp-rofit sector's ro 1e and significant contributions in Michigan . ~ To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities in these five areas: 8 �(1) Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding and a cata 1yst for further action. (2) Information Sharing and Research: The Forum comp1les 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 effect the sector as a whole. (4) Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational deve 1opment in the nonprofit sector are wide 1 y 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 faci 1 itates collaborative planning and action. (5) Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, which brings the sector's stakeho 1ders together for day-1 ong presentations and discussions. Steering Committee. The Forum's Steering Committee serves as the governing body. Although it is not intended to represent all stakeholders--an impossible task--it does bring together a small number of statewide organizations and others with broad reach into many fields. The ten founding organizations on the Steering Committee are: Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan Council of Michigan Foundations Michigan Association of School Administrators Michigan Association of School Boards Michigan Community College Association Michigan Council for the Arts Michigan Health Council Michigan League for Human Services Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan United Way of Michigan 9 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Those founding members now propose to implement the Forum to operate over the next three years, guided by its Steering Committee of ten to fifteen member organizations (represented on the Steering Committee by their Presidents/Chairs and their CEOs). The founding Steering Commit tee members inc 1 ude the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan, the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Michigan Association of School Administrators, the Michigan Association of School Boards, the Michigan Community College Association, the Michigan Council for the Arts, the Michigan Health Council, the Michigan League for Human Services, the Presidents Counci 1 of State Universities of Michigan, and the United Way of Michigan. The primary mission of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum is: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the MNF will promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community deve 1opment, education, re 1 i g ion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, for-profit and public) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. Pages CONTENTS: 2-6 7-9 Proposal Workplan Budget Appendix A: Appendix B: 10-18 Supporting Letters Supporting Documents �Proposal to Implement the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Background. During the 1980s, increased attention was paid to this country's nonprofit sector: its dimensions, its role in the national economy and quality of life, its effectiveness and its future. During an era of retrenchment--a decade when government support of this sector was dramatically scaled down--leading nonprof its strugg 1ed to retoo 1 and reposition themse 1ves in an atmosphere that often included controversy and public confusion. At the same time, an awareness emerged in cub 1 i c sector agencies (especially among public education, health care and social service institutions) that voluntarism and philanthropy figure centrally in their futures as well, and in the futures of the communities they serve. Public and private funders have also taken increasingly prominent roles in promoting voluntarism and philanthropy and greater rigor in the nonprofit sector. The scene has been set for a broad-based alliance to reaffirm the role and central place of the voluntary sector in American society, and to establish a solid foundation for its operation. The Michigan Context. In Michigan as a whole, nonprofit organizations account for nearly 6% of employment and a much larger share of new job creation (consistent with the nation). In many communities, nonprofits are among the largest employers and the 1argest contributors to the 1oca 1 economy. Nonethe 1ess, pub 1 i c awareness of this prominence and its implications is limited, even within the sector itself. The nonprofit sector as a whole is not consistent 1y recognized as a key constituent in 1oca 1 community planning, and strategic alliances for community betterment between the three economic sectors--for-profit, nonprofit and public--are not common. Within Michigan's nonprofit sector, many associations already exist to serve particular fields, such as health, human services, and education. Much 1 ike a chamber of commerce or a trade assoc i ation, these constituency-controlled associations serve the needs of their members through advocacy (to impact tax laws and public policy), joint purchasing to achieve economies of scale, information dissemination, and/or training and technical assistance. Even so, many--possibly most--nonprofits in Michigan, particularly medium and small agencies, are not reached by these services and operate in relative isolation. Further, even these existing associations of nonprofits do not often work cooperatively and have no· formal mechanism for planning together with the closely-allied communities of funders and government agencies. Instead, fragmentation within the sector, and lack of a comprehensively informed public, hamper constructive development. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum {MNF). -2- For these reasons, a �small group of leaders concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Initially conceived as an informal body to convene joint discussions about pressing shared issues, the Forum has evolved into a design for an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness and increased capacity of the Michigan's nonprofit sector, and serving as a "mediating structure" between funders, nonprofits and the public (working collaboratively with existing efforts in the state) to promote the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum differs substantially from the increasing number of statewide nonprofit associations that are emerging across the country. The Forum will not itself serve as a trade association, competing for memberships and support with existing associations in Michigan. Nor will it provide the fieldspecific services and lobbying provided by current Michigan associations and, in the near future, by the newly-created National Council of Nonprofit Associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum wi 11 , for the first time, create a statewide mechanism for dialog, planning and cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. Unlike any existing state association of nonprofits, the MNF has brought together in its Steering Committee and its proposed design not just nonprofits, but also public and private funders and taxsupported institutions (such as the public schools and universities) that also have an increasingly-recognized stake. The activities of the Forum will address voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary functions but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource and organizational development, informed public discussion and policy-development, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the MNF will promote dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community deve 1opment, education, re 1 i g ion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, for-profit and public) to address mutua l problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's ro 1e and significant contributions in Michigan. To accomplish this mission, the Forum will undertake activ i ties in these five areas over the next three years: -3- �(1) Dialogue: The Forum ~mong sector 1eaders and will regularly convene discussions stakeho 1ders on key and emerging 1ssues, such as those related to taxes, governance and 1 i abi 1 i ty; it wi 11 serve both as a resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. Further, through cooperation with existing networks across the state--such as those represented by the member organizations--the Forum will promote dialogue throughout all levels of the sector, in order to raise the quality and extent of local discussion and informed action in the state as a whole. (2) Information Sharing and Research: The Forum will compile and disseminate current information and insights, as a basis for analysis, planning and action in the state, both within the sector and among policymakers and the public. It will serve as a responsive "clearinghouse" of information on the nonprofit sector (with a Michigan bent)--including an interactive computer network with hubs across the state--and wi 11 undertake a 1eadersh i p ro 1e in raising awareness and understanding of emerging issues. In particular, it will provide information on Michigan's nonprofit sector for those seeking to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. The Forum will also work to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, so that a more solid knowledge base will underlie public policy and practice in the state. In collaboration with Michigan's colleges and universities and the statewide Improving Philanthropy Project of the Council of Michigan Foundations, the Forum will promote co 11 abo rat i ve ana 1ys is and broader reporting on the ro 1e, diversity, capacity and impact of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Public Policy Information: In addition to its broader information-sharing function, the MNF will have a particular emphasis on stimulating greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that effect the sector as a whole. The Steering Committee represents a unique communication network through a 1arge part of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. Although member organizations monitor issues impacting their fields, the MNF will become a hub for gathering and disseminating critical information on sectorwide issues of common concern, and for promoting broader dialogue and understanding. The Forum will serve as an efficient exchange on current and emerging policy issues shared across the nonprofit · sector, keeping Michigan's nonprofit sector fully informed and up to date. (3) ( 4) Capac i tv-Bu i 1ding: Wh i 1e support services are often provided by Michigan's nonprofit associations, many local nonprofits have not been reached. Nonetheless, human resource and organizational development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, -4- �within the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment, the MNF Steering Committee recognizes these capacity-building needs as key issues for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. Therefore, through its member organizations and others throughout the state, the MNF will identify existing in-state resources for technical assistance and for education in philanthropy and voluntarism, as well as existing areas of need and interest in the state. Using that information as a guide, the MNF will match assistance/experience with need/interest, and develop local and regional structures that will provide that kind of assistance in the future (linked through the MNF network). The Forum wi 1 1 thus increase awareness of resources across the sector and serve as a catalyst for collaborative planning and action. { 5) Annua 1 Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the MNF will assume responsibility for the Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar, now in its second year. The Seminar--originally conceived as an activity of the emerging MNF--brings the sector's stakeholders together for daylong presentations and discussions in all four of the above areas. It will also provide a unique opportunity for reviewing the Forum's work each year and informing the agenda for the coming year. The MNF Future Bevond Three Years: This proposa 1 out 1 i nes only the three-year start-up phase of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. As has been demonstrated by their leadership and serious deliberations over the last 18 months, the Steering Committee is committed long-term to the Forum's purposes and is convinced of the pressing need for its sector-wide work. Therefore, it is the intent of the Steering Committee to carry on the Forum well beyond the three years, in pursuit of its significant mission. However, the exact nature of the Forum's format and operations must be worked out through its successful operations. Therefore, the future architecture of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will be determined during the grant period. Formal Evaluation. The events and products described in the Workp 1an wi 11 serve as mi 1estones for i nterna 1 assessment and planning. In addition, at Kellogg's request, we will contract with an Outside Evaluator to provide periodic assessments for the Steering Committee and for our funders (amounting to 5% of the total grant request). The Outside Evaluation will not be evenly distributed between the three years, but instead will be in the form of a first year ground-laying for data-collection and analysis procedures, second year major assessment, and third year wrap-up using data that flows in regularly from the established systems. -5- �In the first year (one-third of the Evaluation budget), the Outside Evaluator will consult in the design of data-collection and ana 1 ys is procedures and wi 1 1 review the first start-up year, especially as input for planning and "in-course corrections" by the Steering Committee. In the second year (one-half of the Evaluation budget), the Evaluator wi 11 review maturing MNF programs and emerging impacts--as input for long-range planning by the Steering Committee, and for reporting to funders. In the third year (onesixth of the Evaluation budget), data collection procedures and staff protocols will be in place, so the wrap-up evaluation is budgeted at a lower level. -6- �MNF Workplan START-UP TASKS Establish office and procedures. Schedule quarterly Steering Committee meetings, for governance and planning. Compile segmented resource list of associations and organizations, service centers and providers, MI scholars of the nonprofit sector, key civic leaders, other knowledgeable persons--for MNF's operating network. Develop liaisons with colleges and universities for student interns. Develop collaborative mechanisms with associations and organizations conducting related work in the state. Disseminate information about the MNF: written and oral presentations through newsletters and state/local/regional meetings. Develop working relations with key state leaders and personnel for legislative updates and information sharing. Collect and compile existing MI and local information and materials (e.g., local surveys of nonprofits) that will supplement and augment information to be received from MSU's current statewide "snapshot" of the MI nonprofit sector--to begin to establish the MNF Information Clearinghouse. ACTIVITIES (4 concurrent) (1) Dialogue PRIORITY I: Identify key stakeholders for productive quarterly Forums. Identify issues and resource persons. Conduct four quarterly MNF Lansing Forums annually (2 in the first start-up year). PRIORITY II: Identify local sponsors and resource persons for local/regional Forums, to carry the dialogue about critical issues to the grassroots level. Conduct four local/regional forums annually (2 in the first startup year). PRIORITY III:Cultivate local/regional spin-off dialogues (two per year) that will be self-sustaining and mutually-reinforcing through the MNF network (one in the first year). PRIORITY IV: Develop dissemination mechanisms for state/regional/local Forum insights, including a quarterly MNF Newsletter (2 issues in the first year). -7- �(2) Information-Sharing and Research PRIORITY I: Collect and distill current information into issues papers; also, arrange for experts to prepare non-technical papers in their areas of expertise on the nonprofit sector, especially the role, diversity, capacity and impact of the nonprofit sector in Michigan. (8 per year--2 by staff; 6 in the first year-2 by staff.) Develop and use a dissemination network for the issue papers, including member organizations (for distribution to their members) and key civic leaders across the state. Develop a mechanism for responding to specific inquiries about the Michigan nonprofit sector--that is, implement the MNF Information Clearinghouse. PRIORITY II: Develop collaborative mechanisms for networking among scholars of the MI nonprofit sector, in cooperation with co 11 eges and universities and the Council of Michigan Foundation's statewide Improving Philanthropy Project, including the MNF Research Update (quarterly--a column of the newsletter). (2 Updates in the first year.) Through member organizations, identify research and policy issues to guide researchers of the sector. Through member organizations, facilitate research to investigate those questions. Conduct or co-sponsor one annual "scholars forums" on the MI nonprofit sector, focussing on issues of pressing concern in this state. Through member organizations and the media, disseminate MI research insights. PRIORITY III:With the Michigan Community College Association, develop and implement an MNF interactive computer bulletin board (using the MCCA facility and 800 number), including a menu of sectorwide resources (such as legislative updates, updates on funding sources, workshops, technical assistance), as well as fieldspecific communications maintained by sponsoring organizations (e.g., neighborhood associations information). Develop and implement a strategy to link communities and regions into the MNF computer network. (3) Public Policy Information PRIORITY 1: Develop efficient communication linkages (through member organizations, nonprofit circulars, conferences, local forums and associations, the media, other communication hubs) for -8- �getting information out through the state, and gathering insight in. PRIORITY II: Develop and implement a media relations strategy, in order to promote greater public awareness and discussion of the MI nonprofit sector and the issues affecting it. PRIORITY III:Develop linkages for gathering and disseminating information on critical and emerging issues common to the MI nonprofit sector (such as the ongoing "legislative updates"--a column in the newsletter and a section of the computer bulletin board). (4) Capacity-Building PRIORITY I: Identify and contact all in-state sources of technical assistance and human resource development for MI nonprofit organizations (e.g., on fundraising, board development, management, public relations, volunteer recruitment; also insurance pools, joint purchasing). Identify and contact all in-state initiatives to promote voluntarism and philanthropy, especially those in precollege and higher education institutions. PRIORITY II: Through member organizations, identify areas of need and interest not currently served. PRIORITY III:Match assistance/experience with unmet need/interest. PRIORITY IV: Develop collaborative strategies that will establish local/regional structures (two per year) to sustain these kinds of supports eventually in all parts of the state, linked through the MNF network. (5) Annual Grantmaker/Grantseeker Seminar Based on the ·experience of GGI and GGII, develop an annual, daylong seminar which brings together all stakeholders to explore and consider pressing issues confronting Michigan's nonprofit sector. Develop a mechanism for insights from the GG Seminars to inform the work and planning of the Forum. -9- �Michigan Nonprofit Forum FIRST YEAR BUDGET (with comparative changes in 2nd & 3rd years--excluding inflation) ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS Executive director (range: Yr._! $40,000-50,000) Administrative secretary (range: 17,000-22,000) Fringe benefits (20%) 2 rotating college student internships Staff travel (@.24/m. and related costs) Financial Management (10% of annual budget, contributed by the United Way of Michigan) Changes Yrs 2 and 3 $50,000 same 22,000 same 14,400 same 15,000 same 6,000 same 19,580 18,729 *5,000 same 9,000 -0- *5,000 -0- OFFICE EXPENSE Rent & utilities (includes 3 pkg spaces) Office equipment (including 2 PC systems, 4 phones, 1 typewriter) Furniture Telephone: Installation (3 lines, 4 stations) Monthly @ $300.

These sa 1ary ranges have been based on comparable averages in Lansing and simi l ar cities. Rotating College Student Internships. Two positions have been budgeted, which may be filled by a larger number of students working on small projects throughout the year. We see this not only as an opportunity to undertake a variety of initiatives with a limited staff, but also as part of fulfilling the MNF mission: educating the next generation of nonprofit leaders, policymakers and citizen volunteers and contributors. Rent and Utilities. To accommodate the MNF, the United Way of Michigan has arranged for additional office space within their lease. All costs will be assumed by the MNF. Currently, temporary space and office support are being contributed by the Association of Independent Colleges of Michigan. Postage and Distribution Contributed by the Steering Committee. As part of their commitment to the MNF, the organizations serving on the Steering Committee will take responsibility for disseminating the MNF information and materials through their mailing lists and systems. Regional/Local Forums. These forums will be arranged in cooperation with local sponsors (such as a local college, volunteer center, community foundation, or other) to leverage a much larger access and outreach for the Forum's work. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Workshop. Excess cost (over registration and other income) has been estimated based on the 1989 and 1990 conferences sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations and others. This estimate assumes volunteer assistance and publicity by Steering Committee member organizations and their respective networks. Computer Bulletin Board. Although the systems costs of the Bulletin Board will be contributed by the Michigan Community College Association, each field-specific piece of the network must be ma i ntained by a knowledgeable person. Although this maintenance requi r es many hours of input, the work is usually seen as mutually beneficial and is contributed for a small honorarium. We are developing our plans on this basis. Modems for Network Hubs. With this small cost, the MNF will be able to link its computer communication network with distant communities (e.g., through a community's volunteer center, community foundation, community action agency, or local college community service center.) -17- �Cash Contributions by Steering Committee Member Organizations. In addition to their in-kind contributions, the organizations on the Steering Committee will contribute a total of $10,000 annually toward implementing the MNF. Outside Evaluation. As described in the text, the Evaluation Budget is figured at 5% of the total Kellogg grant request, but it is allocated differentially across the grant period: one-third for Year 1, one-half for Year 2, and one-sixth for Year 3. -18- �APPENDIX A Supporting Letters Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan Council of Michigan Foundations Mich i gan Association of School Administrators Mich i gan Association of School Boards Michigan Community College Association Michigan Council for the Arts Michigan Health Council Michigan League for Human Services Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan United Way of Michigan �-association of independent colleges and universities of michigan 650 MtCHIOAN NATIONAL TOWEll LANSINO, MtCHIOAN 489)3 TELEPHONE: (517) )72-9160 Edward 0 .

As you know, the idea for such a forum has been discussed for several years among interested foundation and corporate grantmakers. The Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) Improving Philanthropy Committee, under the chairmanship of Russell G. Mawby, addressed the need and consequently convened nonprofit leaders to explore their interest. The ten convening organizations were represented by their volunteer Chair and executive staff. Since then the CMF Improving Philanthropy Committee has continued to express great interest and enthusiasm for the project. 1\•unJo~liun l:ill.,·rtllud"''"· l'ro·~i.lt·nt t luJ~·n -\Vt· l•h.•r l'tund.lthtn l';otri. u ll•t.""''"· E,.nJriw l'lirwtnr Mu•l•'lt''" Cuunty Ct•mmu nity 10 "' nJ ..t ion ,.......,,,,>.

The MASB sees the Michigan Nonprofit Forum as a vehicle to not only strengthen the sector as a whole by raising public awareness of its importance and its needs, but also to share mutual concerns and problems and thereby to better serve our respective memberships.

Kellogg Foundation 400 North Avenue Battle Creek, Michigan 49017-3398 Dear Russ: It has been approximately 18 months since you called together our small group to begin discussions on the future of volunteerism in the non-profit sector and tfte need to better coordinate the communication networks witfi.in the sector. It may appear that we have been slow in starting, however I assume you understand that this was not due to a lack the groups's enthusiasm or support. The death of Pete Ellis was difficult for all of us on both a personal and professional level. As well, Howard Shapiro's departure from the United Way of Michigan came just as we were moving toward concrete plans. In retrospect, I feel the positive by-product of these unexpected changes provided us w1th a new · opportunity to reassess our direction and speed. I think I speak for the entire Steering Committee whe~ I say that I have been very pleased with the discussions to date. Mary Ellen Lewis has now provided us with the initial staff work that was necessary to develop the proposal 6efore you. While a few issues still concern me such as minonty representation on tl\e steerirtg committee and a presence from the religious community, I believe we are now irt a position to collectively address some of the issues facing the non-profit sector.

The Michi9an Council for the Arts annually grants funding to approximately 1200 orgaruzations. Some of these organizations are arts groups, some are schools, municipalities and community groups involved in health, social services and other areas of education. All of these organizations are non profit. In addition to the or9anizations we fund, we work with hundreds of other not-for-profit agencies. I believe the entire arts community will strongly benefit from the attention of the Michigan Non-Profit Forum. The forum will provide what was missing--the ability to network with others who share similar concerns. Our advocacy efforts will improve as a result of newly gathered information and analysis, and we shall gain a better understanding of how to deal with some of the policy issues that face us and are so important to our future. In the broadest view, I marvel at the possible strength of our collective voice. Alone, the arts world often fights to oe heard, but with the support of all areas rer.resented by the Steering Committee, I believe the Michigan Non Profit Forum will enable us to make the strong statement needed for a more secure future. Both Leon Cohan and I thank the Kellogg Foundation for your great interest in the Michigan Non-Profit Forum.

Kellogg Foundation 400 North Avenue Battle Creek, Michigan 49017 Dear Mr. Orosz: The Michigan Health Council supports the collaboration among the ten statewide organizations in the development of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. The Forum is needed to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector and to help advance the cause of volunteerism and philanthropy within the State. The work of the ten statewide organizations, which have served as a Steering Committee since the inception of the Forum, has determined the value of and need for such an organization within the State. The Steering Committee has identified numerous areas of common concern which the Michigan Nonprofit Forum may address through dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across the varied fields represented by the nonprofit sector. We extend the Council's support to the proposed project and applaud the initial effort of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to encourage the ten organizations to meet and discuss the issues of concern to all nonprofit groups. Thank you for inviting MHC to participate in this important project. We look forward to your favorable consideration of the proposal. Please feel free to call me if I may be of any further assistance. erely, ~, 'lltk/ / l .. j Cf4 vi ..__-:,t'' .· ames R.

Kellogg Foundation 400 North Avenue Battle Creek, Ml 49017-3398 Dear Joel: As a steering committee member and one of the organizations involved in the early discussions surrounding the concept of a Michigan Nonprofit Forum, we would urge your consideration of the attached proposal for funding a multi-year project to test the impact such an ·association of associations• can have on Michigan's broad nonprofit sector as well as in the state overall. As you know better than most, the League for many years has provided a range of consultation and assistance programs to Michigan's private nonprofits at the local level-most engaged in the direct delivery of services. While our circle of contact and influence is a relatively small one in Michigan's huge nonprofit world of over 45,000 organizations, and tends to relate almost exclusively to small to medium-sized human services agencies, it comprises the experience we bring to consideration of the endeavor you have before you. It is our perspective--gained from the League's long history of networking in Michigan--that more extensive networking and collaboration could be extremely valuable at many levels in the state. We hope you will see your way clear to providing a major share of the resources necessary to test this theory. Sincerely, dO/Yva_cl 8ot£L. Lana L.

The rapidly changing environment of the philanthropic and voluntary sector calls for an expanded level of collaboration and cooperation among the major actors in this sector. The Michigan Nonprofit Forum is an imaginative process for bringing together these major organizations to consider common efforts to promote and advance the total sector. The United Way of Michigan, a professional association of the 107 locally directed United Ways, has a h-istory of building bridges among various organizations in the nonprofit arena. In 1988, the Leadership 2000 Conference was an attempt to stir the imagination and vision of leaders from the nonprofit sector as we together dreamed and planned fo r the future wellbeing of our state. The volunteer leadership of our Board of Directors has given the staff a strong message to continue our efforts to support and to provide a leadership role in the development of the Forum. Several expressions of their commitment is our willingness to house (at .the expense of the project) and to manage the finances (at our expense) of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. our Board Chairperson, Mr. Brewster Broder, as well as other members of our leadership group, are willing to share with you or other persons from the Kellogg Foundation, their own personal convictions regarding the benefits and rewards of United Way of Michigan's investment in the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. We are in a period of pressing and critical commitments that challenges philanthropic and ~· �charitable organizations to find creative answers to these problems. Any serious response to these community needs can on ly be mounted through collaborative efforts that pulls and focuses the resources and energies of the total sector.

(3) Where there is no chief operational officer, the Organizational Member has two Board Representatives. The Board Representative(s) is/are selected by each member organization according to their own procedures.

Whatever the person's formal role, there are several characteristics that contribute to effective participation on the MNF Steering Committee. For example: — The Representative should have an interest in issues of voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. — The Representative should be an acknowledged leader whose voice truly "represents" the organization. — Some consideration should be given to continuity of representation, even if officers change from year to year.

Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901 ·8219 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 strengthen and publicize the thirteen existing Michigan volunteer service centers ; and (2) Develop a strategy for initiating and cultivati ng 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. Beginning with that list, Coalition members will soon be canvassed to identify local contacts for further development. At Governor ·Romney's request, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum will serve as a clearinghouse for this information exchange and strategy development: Maryellen J. Lewis Acting Executive Director Michigan Nonprofit Forum (address above) Natural Groupings". Dorothy A. Johnson, President of the Council of Michigan Foundations, suggested that the Coalition seek "natural groupings'' of communities when identifying sites, since funding will necessarily be limited. In the following preliminary list, some groupings may be less appropriate than others, for many reasons. However, these seemed to be consensus that these are useful starting points for exploration . 11 Different Forms. Much of the early discussions highlighted that there i s no one way to run a volunteer center .

Edward Slews welcomed the Committee to AI CUM and began the introductions. Robert Ivory opened the meet i ng at 11:40 AM. Min utes. Minutes of the March 2 and April re v iewed and duly adopted. 2. 3. 12 meetings were Election of New Members. A. Beverley McDonald reported on the deliberations of the Ad Hoc Nominating Task Group (which included herself, Edward B1ews, Dorothy Johnson, Robert Ivory, and Maryellen Lewis) , which proposed a slate of si x new organizational members and four At-Large members. (Report attached.) The ensuing discussion clarified two principles which the Committee chose to be guided by : --At-Large Members are to be individuals of recognized, statewide prominence who contribute t o the advancement of Michigan's nonprofit sector. --Member Organizations will be associat i ons o f organizations (rather than of individuals ) wh1ch have as a central or major concern the ad vancement of philanthropy, voluntar i sm and the nonprofit sector; in addition, member organizations w1 l l be as non-overlapping as possible. The two representati ves from each member organization wil l include the CEO and a volunteer leader. The volunteer leader wi l l be selected by eac h �organization, but the MNF will offer guidelines to insure continuity, comm1tment and authority. B. After considerable discuss1on , and with the addition o f Helen Milliken as a fifth At-Large member, the Committee duly moved, seconded and adopted the following slate and authorized the Nominating Task Group to invite them all to membership: Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and V ic1 n i~ y Council of Michigan Urban Leagues Jewish Commun1ty Council Michigan Catholic Conference Michigan Community Action Agenc y Association Michigan Ecumenical Forum Honorable Richard Austin John Lore Russell Mawb y Helen Milliken Honorable George Romney c. Further Action. The Comm i ttee authorized the Executive to draft two statements for discussion at the next meeting: --A " Statement of Principles" or OPERATI NG PRINCIPLES, to help orient new members to the Steering Committee; and --Guidelines for organizations to select the i r volunteer representatives to the Steering Comm i ttee. 4.

For discussion and selection of a permanent Executive Director, the Co mmit tee went into EXECUTIVE SESSION from 12:40 PM to 1 :30PM, after which Rober t I vo ry reported the following actions: --On motion duly made, seconded and ad opted, Maryellen J. Lewis was appointed to serve as AcLing Exe cu ti ve Director of the MNF until such time as an Executi ve Director is appointed, subject to satisfactory performance i n the interim. --On motion duly made , seconded and adopted, 1t was determined that, upon formal approval of the grant at the full requested le vel, Maryellen Lewis will be compensated as Acting Executi ve Director at a 1eve l of at least $40,000 per annum and benef its equal to those offered through the United Way of Michigan with the final level of compensation and benefits to be determined at the next meeting of the MNF on recommendation of the Search Committee. --On motion duly made, seconded and adopted , a Search Committee was formed, consisting of Edward Slews, Don Elliott, Robert I vory, Dorothy Johnson , and James Tarrant, to recommend to the MNF at lLS June meeting an open statewide search process and schedule for selection of the Executi ve Director of the MNF.

There was general consensus that more formal procedures are now appropriate for this matun ng organization. Discussion pointed to the need for By-Laws , although no formal action was taken to appoint a Task Group on By-Laws. Program De velopment. A. Staff Report. In the interest of time, Maryellen Lewis limited her report to the FACS Michigan Communication Project. MNF helped to initiate the project 18 months ago (thro ugh Pete Ellis ) and continues to wor k wit h FACS leadership to focus the o verall Project on improv1ng �public understanding of the nonprofit sector through t he press . The Project's proposal includes the fo ll ow 1ng ro l e for the MNF: In addition to servin g as an advisor on this overall theme, MNF wil l assist in the deveiopmen~ of a Journalist Edu cat i on Program on the nonprofit sector, and 1n the implementation of f i ve mar ketlng t media relations wor kshops for nonprof i ts. The Comm1ttee authorized Ms. Lew1s t o cont1nue developing this working relat1onship, and suggested inv i ting Dorothy Johnson to serve as MNF Steer1ng Committee l i aison (after Beverley McDonald declined the role due to other commitmen~s ) . B. Constance Julius suggested that the MCCA sa~eli1te networ k (under her direction) could prove to be a valua b le resource for the MNF, and expressed willi ngness to explore possible collaborations. The meeting adjourned at 2:20 PM .

"On motion duty made, seconded and adopted, Maryetten Lewis r.xzs appointed to serve as the Acting Executive Director of the Michigan Nonprofit Forwn untit such time as an Executive Director is·appointed, subject to satisfactory performance in the interim." 2. "On motion duty made, seconded and adopted, it r.xzs determined that, upon format approvat of the grant at the requested tevet, Maryetten Lewis witt be compensated as Acting Executive Director at a tevet of at teast $40,000 per annum and benefits equat to those offered through the United Way of Michigan, with the finat tevet of compensation and benefits to be determined at the next me~ting of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum on recommendation of the Search Cammittee.n Since the grant proposal was funded at the requested level effective June 1, 1990, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Search Committee (membership listed in memo heading) hereby submits the following recommendations to the Steering Committee regarding the Acting Executive Directorship. These recommendations are conveyed for consideration and · action at the June 27 meeting of the Forum. The first recommendation is in direct response to the charge articulated in the second official action cited above. The other recommendations are matters which in the judgment of the Search Committee should be clearly addressed in relationship to the interim staffing situation. I. ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION #A: THE SEARCH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM STEERING COMMITTEE MODIFY ITS PREVIOUS POSITION TO APPROVE MONTHLY SALARY COMPENSATION AT A RATE OF $43,000 PER ANNUM AND ADDITIONAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS EQUAL TO 20% OF COMPENSATION FOR PURPOSES OF FRINGE BENEFITS TO MARYELLEN LEWIS, EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 1990, AND CONTINUING DURING THE PERIOD OF HER SERVICE AS ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM. �MNF Steering Committee -2- June 27. 1990 EXPLANATION: Upon further inquiry following the last Michigan Nonprofit Forum meeting. it was discovered that the full-time equivalent of the half-time compensation being paid to Ms. Lewis through the Council of Michigan Foundations (for her Forum work) was $43.000 per annum. Thus the $43.000 annualized salary rate recommended above will continue Ms. Lewis at the equivalent of her previous rate. as a matter of fairness. while she performs the full-time interim duties we have asked her to assume. This rate is well within the annual salary range ($40.000 to $50.000) stipulated in the grant proposal and is under the $50.000 rate actually funded in the proposal. II . HIRING OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY RECOMMENDATION #B: THE SEARCH COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS TO SECURE SECRETARIAL SUPPORT SERVICES THROUGH A TEMPORARY AGENCY DURING THE PERIOD OF HER SERVICE AS ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND To EXPEND FOR THAT PURPOSE A MONTHLY AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE MONTHLY EQUIVALENT OF THE AMOUNT BUDGETED FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY IN THE PROJECT GRANT PROPOSAL. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LEWIS BE ASKED TO USE THIS TIME AND PROCESS TO SEEK EVALUATE AND ORIENT A UALIFIED AND PROFICIENT SECRETARY FROM A TEMPORARY AGENCY WHO COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR HIRING IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY POSITION BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHEN SELECTED. EXPLANATION: This recommendation is designed to address a dilemma. Considering that we have asked Maryellen Lewis to serve as Acting Executive Director during the search process (scheduled to take at least five months). she must be provided secretarial support during that period. However. new support staff persons probably shouldn't be hired officially (and good secretarial candidates would be reluctant to consider the position) until the Executive Oirector is selected. The authorization to utilize temporary secretarial service provides several advantages: 1.) it fills the need for secretarial services during the interim; 2.) it gives the opportunity to try out secretaries on a probat.ionary period without unemployment compensation or workers' compensation exposure or other liability; 3.) if an individual is retained through a temporary service for a significant period of t ime (usually 90 days but often negotiable) there is no liquidated damages penalty for then hiring them ; 4.} it saves the cost of fringe benef its during this interim period; and 5.) it defers official hiring of a secretary until the Executive Director is named. III. ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S AUTHORITY RECOMMENDATION #C: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFFIRM THAT ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS HAS THE FULL AND APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR POSITION FOR IMPLEMENTATION. ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING OF THE FORUM'S PROGRAM AND OPERATION DURING THE INTERIM ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PERIOD. CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICIES AND DIRECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND IN CONSULTATION WITH THE CHAIR ON ANY COMMITMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS WHICH MAY EXTEND BEYOND THE INTERIM PERIOD. �MNF Steering Committee -3- June 27, 1990 EXPLANATION: This recommendation is believed necessary in light of the five month schedule for the Executive Director search/selection process mandated by the Board. For the sake of the success of the Forum during the critical early months and in fairness to Ms. Lewis, it should be made clear that as Acting Executive Director she has the authority necessary to carry out the duties of the position. IV. LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION #D: THAT THE SEARCH COMMITTEE OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO SIGN WITH ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARYELLEN LEWIS A LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING HER COMPENSATION, PERFORMANCE, NOTICE PROVISIONS AND OTHER EMPLOYMENT MATTERS FOR HER PERIOD OF SERVICE AS THE ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM.

IQQQ --::c .?(. ~~j~ . .. n.~-- As members of the policy-making body of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, we commit ourselves to be guided in our deliberations by the Forum's mission: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector. and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. We recognize the great diversity of the sector and the wide range of stakeholders that the Forum proposes to engage in this mission: nonprofit organizations and professionals, funders, educators and researchers concerned with philanthropy and voluntarism, policymakers and civic leaders, the media, the public sector as it relates to philanthropy and voluntarism, volunteers, and other concerned citizens and contributors. Because of this great diversity, we commit ourselves to seeking common ground and to building bridges that will benefit the Public Good through collaboration and capacity-building. Although some Forum initiatives that we choose may not involve the entire sector and all its stakeholders, as a whole the Forum agenda will be designed to achieve ever greater awareness, effectiveness and informed support of Michigan's nonprofit sec tor and voluntary community. In particular, we commit ourselves to these OPERATING PRINCIPLES: --We will ·distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations. -- We will acknowledge diversity by recogn1z1ng the variety of circumstances of Members and by incorporating those differences into the decision-making process. -- We will seek as a Board to operate from a principle of consensus and collaborative action through the Forum . Telephone (517) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4S46 �-- We will seek and be guided by the best information on Michigan's nonprofit sector, philanthropy and voluntarism, particularly in areas not represented on the Board. -- Since this Board does not claim to be a "representative body" (and recognizes that "representativeness" is not a realistic goal), we will seek to achieve the greatest scope possible in our Board membership and to secure much greater, diverse input through each of our organizational networks. -2- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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 existing 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 careful analysis and planning, human resource development, informed public discussion, and dependable investment. MNF Mission and Goals. Nonprofit Forum is: The primary mission of the Michigan to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and Telephone (517) 3714360 • FAX (517) 3714546 �humanities, community development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions in Michigan. 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. pyblic 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. �MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N.

(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) Michigan 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.

The following newly-elected members have accepted MNF's invitation to join the Steering Committee: At-Large: Richard Austin John Lore Russell Mawby Helen Milliken George Romney �Organizations: Jewish Community Council [pending ratification] Michigan Catholic Conference [pending ratification] Michigan Community Action Agency Association Michigan Ecumenical Forum These organizations have not yet been contacted: Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity Council of Michigan Urban Leagues b. The "Statement of Principles" (to orient new members) was approved, with the following rewording, and allowing for further editorial changes that would not change the meaning and intent. First Operating Principle: "We will distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests, which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations." Third Operating Principle: "We will seek as a Steering Committee to operate from a principle of concensus and collaborative action through the Forum." 4) c. The "Guidelines for Representation" were approved, allowing for further editorial changes that would not change the meaning or intent. d. Optional dates for the fall Annual Meeting were submitted to Maryellen Lewis for later confirmation. Governance: a. Election: Edward 0. Blews was elected Secretary, and Robert E. Ivory was elected Treasurer. b. Bylaws: The Acting Chair appointed a Bylaws Committee to draft bylaws before the next meeting: Glenn R. Stevens, Chair Barbara K. Goldman Justin P. King Maryellen Lewis, ex officio c. Bank Account and Investment Policy: Treasurer Ivory was authorized to initiate a separate bank account for the Forum, with the Executive Director and the Officers authorized to sign. The Executive Director may sign checks individually up to a certain limit, after which a Board signature would also be required. Several ceiling amounts were proposed -- $500, $1,000, -2- �$2,000 -- but the matter was finally delegated to the Treasurer, who will make recommendations based on early experience with the Forum's finances. Member agencies agreed to send their organization's Investment Policies to Maryellen Lewis, to assist in the development of an MNF Investment Policy. d. Search Committee: Committee Chairman Blews requested and received approval for (1) recommendations I through IV of his Committee's June 27 memorandum (attached), (2) the process, schedule and documents described in the second June 27 memorandum(attached), and (3) a postponement of the second closing date from September 15 to September 28. The Committee went into executive session from 10:00 to 10:50 to discuss the Executive Search. 5) Program Report: a. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee: Dorothy Johnson reported that she and John Lore will Co-Chair the Committee. The Steering Committee enthusiastically endorsed the plan and urged that the leadership of this key committee continue in future years to be shared by a grantmaker and a grantseeker. Dorothy Johnson continued by reporting on the 1990 financial statement (attached) and the formation of the 1991 Committee (master attached), which will retain many experienced members and should include representatives of MNF Member Organizations, achieving an effective balance between grantmakers and the broad range of grantseekers. The Michigan chapters of the NSFRE will be represented, and she suggested that their representation be formalized in the eventual redefinition of this working group as an MNF Standing Committee. b. FACS Michigan Communication Project Update: Maryellen Lewis reported on this program (summary attached) in which MNF serves as an advisor. The program has been funded by the Kellogg foundation and -- as approved by the Steering Committee at its last meeting -- MNF will assist in the design of journalist education programs relating to the nonprofit sector, and of media/marketing workshops for nonprofits in five regions. The Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan League for Human Services also have formal roles in the Project, which is conducted by the Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles (Peter c . McCarty, Executive Vice President). -3- �6. c. Michigan Volunteer Coalition : Maryellen Lewis reported on the progress of the MVC, an ad hoc coalition convened by George Romney on June 20 in Lansing (report attached). At that meeting, Romney invited the MNF to serve as the coordinating agency for the MVC, an idea supported by the six attending Steering Committee members. Today the Committee unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed that involvement as central to the forum's mission and in its best interest as an emerging organization . d. National database on the Nonprofit Sector: Maryellen Lewis reported on progress being made by MNF to help secure for Michigan the state's data -- drawn from IRS files of #990 forms -- on the nonprofit sector. Eventually, that data will be available to scholars and agencies across the state, through the CRIS database at Michigan State University. e. Scholars Network: The Committee discussed the MNF Scholars Network now in formation, which will stimulate research, teaching, and publication on Michigan's nonprofit sector and the translation of new data into useful tools for practitioners. Constance Julius expressed special interest in having the Michigan Community College Association become involved in related teleconferencing. f. Computer Bulletin Board: Maryellen Lewis reported that Thomas Bernthal had authorized C.J.Schroll to work with the Forum to develop the computer bulletin board. She will meet with him in July. Other Business: a. Dorothy Johnson reported on a new series of workshops for nonprofits that will be sponsored by the Accounting Aid Society called the "Nonprofit Leadership Forum 11 to be co-sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations and the Michigan Council for the Arts. She proposed, and the Committee concurred, that we should help to cosponsor this series. She also urged the Acting Executive Director to seek ways to develop the Forum's potential role in this area of training , which is central to the Forum's mission. Don Elliott proposed, and the Committee concurred, that in related areas that are "in keeping with our operating principles 11 , decisions concerning MNF involvement be delegated to the Executive Director. -4- �The meeting adjourned at 11:30 a.m. attachments: Statement of Principles Guidelines for Representation Search Committee memos GGS financial statement & roster FACS summary MVC report Edward 0.

Washington Square, Suite 405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Guidelines to Member Organizations for Representation on the Board of Trustees (Adopted 6/27/90) Organizational Members of the MNF Board of Trustees each have two Representatives, also known as MNF Trustees: (1) The chief operational officer (or equivalent), and (2) A senior volunteer member of the Board. (3) Where there is no chief operational officer, the Organizational Member has two Board Representatives. The Board Representative(s) isjare selected by each member organization according to their own procedures. In most cases, that person serves as the current or past Chairperson or Chairperson-elect of the member organization. In other cases, another leading Board member has been selected. Whatever the person's formal role, there are several characteristics that contribute to effective participation on the MNF Board of Trustees. For example: The Representative should have an interest in issues of voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. The Representative should be an acknowledged leader whose voice truly "represents" the organization. -- Some consideration should be given to continuity of representation, even if officers change from year to year. --- �. MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM 300 N. Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219 Board of Trustees Statement of Principles NATION-\L PHILA THROP Y DAY O V lo IQQQ ~~.t-~ · . -:- (Adopted 6/27/90) As members of the policy-making body of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, we commit ourselves to be guided in our deliberations by the Forum's mission: to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state. We recognize the great diversity of the sector and the wide range of stakeholders that the Forum proposes to engage in this mission: nonprofit organizations and professionals, funders, educators and researchers concerned with philanthropy and voluntarism, policyrnakers and civic leaders, the media, the public sector as it relates to philanthropy and voluntarism, volunteers, and other concerned citizens and contributors. Because of this great diversity, we commit ourselves to seeking common ground and to building bridges that will benefit the Public Good through collaboration and capacity-building. Although some Forum initiatives that we choose may not involve the entire sector and all its stakeholders, as a whole the Forum agenda will be designed to achieve ever greater awareness, effectiveness and informed support of Michigan's nonprofit sector and voluntary community. In particular, we commit ourselves to these OPERATING PRINCIPLES: -- We will distinguish carefully in the activities of the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's broad mission and those that would serve only proprietary interests which are more appropriately addressed by our individual organizations or associations. -- We will acknowledge diversity by recognizing the variety of circumstances of Members and by incorporating those differences into the decision-making process. -- We will seek as a Board to operate from a principle of consensus and collaborative action through the Forum. Telephone (5 17) 371-4360 • FAX (517) 371-4546 _-f n . ~-- �-- We will seek and be guided by the best information on Michigan's nonprofit sector, philanthropy and voluntarism, particularly in areas not represented on the Board. -- Since this Board does not claim to be a "representative body'' (and recognizes that "representativeness'' is not a realistic goal), we will seek to achieve the greatest scope possible in our Board membership and to secure much greater, diverse input through each of our organizational networks. -2- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
