Charitable Trust Dear John, We, at N.E.S.C.O., have had some difficulty working out the relationships between our 501(c)4 operation and your 501(c)3 Trust. Thank you for the copy ofthe Declaration of Trust which I passed on to Bob Lusk and Margaret Arena on Wednesday. Bob is now happy that he has no responsibility for the Trust. He tells me he will no longer take responsibility for informing the N.E.S.C.O. Board ofthe Trust's financial condition. That lets him off the hook but does not address the legitimate needs of our Board members to know how much money you have in your Trust. This legitimate curiosity needs to be addressed because John Hay's resignation has put N.E.S.C.O.'s Fund Raising operations (which were never very robust!) in further jeopardy. We would all be more comfortable feeling that you or one of your Trustees would take the responsibility of fiirnishing our President with a quarterly statement of your net worth. It is my understanding that you have four (4) Trustees :- Vince Failla; Helen Guthrie; Martha Sowder; and yourself. The papers which you gave me only record the appointment of Martha Sowder. Furthermore, tiie attachments to the Declaration of Trust only allow for three (3) Trustees. If it is not too much trouble, I would like a copy ofthe resolutions which increased the number of Trustees and, if possible, a record ofthe dates when the other trustees were appointed. If this request reveals a lack of continuity in your records, I suggest that we have a Resolution from the N.E.S.C.O. Board to confirm the present Trustees. At the same time, your Trustees would probably want to confirm that four (4) is the correct number of Trustees. Sincerely yours, &+< Ambrose Smith Past President cc Margaret Arena, President Robert Lusk, Treasurer. Internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury District P.O.

Our records show that by a determination letter issued March 29, 1972, your organization was recognized as exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That letter is still in effect. Based on information subsequently submitted, we classified the organi zation as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in section 509(a)(3). The classification was based on the assumption that the operations would continue as stated in the application.

They are not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA). Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, they are not automatically exempt from other Federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise, employment, or other Federal taxes, please let us know. Donors may deduct contributions to it as provided in section 170 of the Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to you or for your use are deductible for Federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.

New Trustees Any action taken with respect to Trustees should be done in accordance with the organization's "articles of organization" (i.e. trust instrument, corporate charter, article of association, or any other written instrument by which an organization is created). Funding the Trust Any property can go into the trust so long as its receipt and acceptance is not conditioned or limited in such manner as to require a later disposition of income or principal to any person or organization other than a "charitable organization" or for other than "charitable purposes". Use of Monies From NESCO Trust to NESCO, Inc. So long as the articles of organization provide for the distribution of the organization's assets to another organization that is exempt under Section 501(c)(3), it will be in compliance with the tax exempt organization rules. On the other hand, an organization will lose its tax-exempt status if any part of its net earnings inure to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual. Thus, funds going out of the trust should be monitored to ensure that they are being used for tax-exempt purposes. Record-Keeping Books and records should be kept for both NESCO, Inc. and the NESCO Charitable Trust in order to maintain an accurate accounting of the financial transactions entered into by the two entities. In other words, both entities should have their own accounting system. £ NESCO Near East Side January 25, 1993 Community Organization The trustees: John Boner, Vince Fall la, Helen Guthrie, and Martha Sowders of the NESCO Charitable Trust have authorized the sutmission of a proposal in the airjunt of $5,000 tc The Indianapolis Foundation for the NESCO revitalization project, 1010 North LaSalle Street John H.

In addition to the $20.00 payments to the participants, there are some other incidental expenses related to these two evenings. We anticipate using the remaining $2,500.00 in April or May as we begin to either bring in individuals from other community organizations or have some of our task force visit some in the Chicago-Gary-South Bend area. Therefore, we can use half of the grant as soon as possible with the other half being needed in April. ADVISORY COUNCIL Thank you for your good wishes.

As a result of its efforts to meet the needs of area residents, NESCO was responsible for the creation of four institutions which continue to serve the needs of the community: Near East Side Multi-Service Center, to address the social service needs ofthe community, People's Health Center, to address their health needs, Eastside Community Investments, to serve the development needs of the community, and Near Eastside Community Federal Credit Union, to allow community residents to keep their assets within the community. At its height, NESCO had a staff of seven; it played an active role in organizing area residents into block clubs and neighborhood associations and assuring that the services provided by the City and NESCO's spin-offs effectively met area needs. Although NESCO has since been less active in the community, within the last five years NESCO had a surge of leadership, which resulted in increased activity on the part of the organization. Unfortunately, in response to an action sponsored by NESCO to protest an absentee landlord's treatment of area residents, NESCO was sued for slander and restraint of trade. The lawsuit chilled momentum. Although the litigation has been resolved, NESCO again finds itself with no staff and a volunteer board. NESCO's neighborhood, Highland Brookside, has been hard hit in recent years by relocation of industry and deterioration of housing. Related to these trends has been a drop in mean income for area residents. According to the most recent figures available, 24.1% of all area residents have incomes which fall below the poverty line, and nearly one in five households receives public assistance. The unemployment rate for the area for August 1992 (9.66%) is well above that of Indianapolis and Indiana. While service organizations such as ECI, People's Health Center, and the Near East Side Multi-Service Center can meet many ofthe service and development needs ofthe community, there remains a crucial gap in the overall development of Highland- Brookside: a strong community organization which can organize community residents to define and address the needs of the community, in addition to informing residents about issues that concern them. While NESCO has no staff at this time, it still provides a range of services to Highland Brookside residents. Its community newsletter, The Neighbor, provides information to area residents with regard to available services, issues concerning their neighborhood, and opportunities to get involved in issues affecting the area. In addition, NESCO's Annual Congress remains a significant tool to inform and mobilize area residents with regard to issues that affect them. NESCO's Zoning Committee investigates zoning petitions that affect the near east side, to assure that any zoning changes are in the best interest of the neighborhood. Finally, NESCO's education task force works with neighborhood schools to compose school community councils, which provide social activities and other incentives to area children to both stay in school and maintain their grades. NESCO continues to provide a vital component of the overall development strategy of the near east side: organizing area residents to assure that they retain a voice in the provision of services in Highland Brookside. Project Description/Funds Request The directors of the four community institutions founded through NESCO met with a delegation of four area residents who are NESCO Board members to discuss the future of NESCO in May 1992. While affirming the continuing role that NESCO can and should play in the community, the participants expressed concern regarding the focus and future of the organization. The outcome of the meeting was a determination to articulate NESCO's continuing role in the community.A project steering committee was formed. The members' names and affiliations are included as Exhibit 1. The task force determined that NESCO can continue to motivate and inform area residents regarding issues that concern them, and that it must effectively represent the interests of area residents. The questions that the task force felt unable to answer alone were: how should NESCO enact that role? What, if any, should be the role ofthe existing community institutions in supporting NESCO? What models exist to provide some level of guidance in determining NESCO's future? In order to address these questions with a high level of input from community residents and businesses who would be most affected by the future direction of NESCO, the task force set forth the following plan: 1. Incorporate NESCO leadership in the Steering Committee. 2. To use each institution's existing networks to discover examples throughout the country of community organizations that have made the transition into the 90's with vitality. 3. Seek funding to support the collective planning process. 4. Conduct focus groups involving the NESCO publics, its Board, neighborhood associations, block clubs, schools, churches, area businesses, agencies, and local police and fire officials to determine a shared perception of the future role of NESCO in the community. 5. Bring exemplary models of community organizations to Indianapolis to discuss their experiences and the results of focus group discussions. 6. Convene residents, community leaders and the current NESCO leadership to celebrate the wealth of gifts, talents and skills which is present in our near Through the focus group process,we will have specific information to determine the role of NESCO in the community. Additionally, NESCO's current leadership will receive input regarding the specific problems facing our community which NESCO must address. Residents, business owners, and service providers in Highland Brookside must be aware not only of the presence and value of NESCO, but of its incredible potential. Thus, another purpose served by utilizing the focus group process is to expose area residents to the tradition and potential that NESCO represents. Our process to convene and conduct our focus groups will begin with advertisements in the NESCO Neighbor, as well as placing flyers the community to bring in residents interested in participating. We will convene sixteen focus groups. Ten groups of ten participants each will be composed of community residents; because of the time and expense of attending the focus groups, particularly for low-income community residents, we propose to pay resident participants for their time and effort in the amount of $20/person. In addition, six groups of ten non-residents who have a stake in the community as service providers or business owners will also provide their input on a volunteer basis. The focus groups will be facilitated by volunteers,who have been trained by a professional consultant. Focus group discussions will be recorded on newsprint and further summarized for a permanent record. Expected Results The focus groups will serve to make a significant difference in the community, both within NESCO's leadership and membership and within the larger neighborhood itself. First of all, through examining the problems that still face the neighborhood and the possible strategies for addressing them, the focus groups will re-affirm the vital role that NESCO can play within the community, thus strengthening its community base. In addition, the focus groups will serve a vital function for the participants, in allowing them to see the wealth of human resources and energy that are available on the near east side, both through the resources of which each participant is aware and through the participants themselves. Finally, through convening the focus groups, we will have set the stage for NESCO to elicit the necessary community support to fulfill its appropriate role within the community. Once the focus groups have given the project steering committee some idea of NESCO's revitalized role within the community, we will invite community organizers to address the NESCO board and constituency.Community organizations which have demonstrated successful transitions to the 90s can share the strategies and directions that proved successful to their organization. Focus group participants will also be invited to hear and provide input at any such presentation. This process will allow the NESCO constituency and new-found leadership to determine the strategy for re vitalizing the organization with the most likely chances for success. In order to allow the leaders of the four sister organizations to best utilize the information gained from the sessions to provide whatever support they can to continue to build momentum for NESCO, and also to provide this information in usable form to the community leaders who will work to re-build NESCO, we will hire a consultant to collate and present the results of these information gathering processes. To galvanize continued support for the organization and maintain momentum, NESCO will hold a community celebration in conjunction with the site visits by community organizers. We hope to publicize NESCO's revitalization. The result of this celebration will be not only a sense of re-affirmed commitment by those already active in NESCO, but also an increase in volunteers to help the organization meet the needs of the community. Although the results of our focus groups, presentations and community celebration will necessarily entail some level of vagueness, we will consider several indications ofthe success of this project. Primarily, we will look for an increase in membership in NESCO as a result of the renewed energy of the focus group participants. As a necessary antecedent to the completion of the strategic plan of all four sister organizations on the east side, the focus groups will assure that NESCO is included in those strategic plans. Finally, the focus groups will result in a concrete plan for NESCO's future, to revitalize its leadership and determine how best to assure the future health of the organization. -_.»_»i .^ ^A - " *. _. ._ .**..*_» • - •*_i .« a « ».!__'__ - .

Michelle updated the trustees on her meeting with Blue & Company. Michelle distributed the financial report for the period of October 1, 1988 through March 31, 1989. It was accepted. Michelle informed trustees that Dean Redenovich of Blue & Company stated money from the trust could be used for NESCO, Inc. Use of Trust money for Legal expenses would be illegal. Use for NESCO congress was considered a gray area, however use for the Education Task Force was safest unless the task force starts lobbying. Lobbying or any activities that resemble/lobbying must be avoided if Trust money is being used. Michelle also discussed fund raising activities which include a direct mail campaign. To date $700 had been.raised of that $200 was to go to the trust. $500 was from a church and there was no tax exemption claims. John suggested that Michelle ask the NESCO Board for her to be authorized to submit proposals to the Trust. The trustees did agree to authorize without a meet ing transfering some money to support the Educational Task Force. This would be done by gaining individual trustees signatures when needed for the transfer. The next all Trustee Meeting will be set sometime after October 1, 1989. The meeting was adjorned.

(NESCO) has been asked to pay its obligation for the salary of Michelle Niemier which was due one year ago. CCI want to clear'it off their books before the end of 1990. The balance in NESCO's checking account is only enough to pay $1,058.86. This leaves a deficit of $2,300.00 which I would like to be paid directly to CCI from the NESCO Charitable Trust in time to meet the December 31st deadline. Since most, if not all, of Michelle's activities were charitable or educational in nature, there seems no legal reason why this should not be done. There is good reason to expect the Trust's balance to be restored soon to the,'approximately, $800 level before we started to deposit 20th Anniversay donations. The 20th Anniversary Celebration has accounts receivable of over $1,000.00. There is also an expected income of about $800 from unpaid Directory Advertisements. Our problem is one of cash flow rather than net worth! I enclose a draft resolution for your use which I. hope will expedite this action. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Our current debt to NEMSC is $4596.73. This is our portion of reimbursement for services provided by our last Director. NEMSC has not pressured us for payment; but, it seems fair and reasonable to reduce our obligations as we may. The balance in the Charitable Trust as of February 29, 1992, was $3030.40. Our Executive Committee proposed and a meeting of the Delegates on February 10, 1992, disposed that we request the Trustees to transfer $1500.00 from the Trust to the NESCO general fund and that NESCO then pay to NEMSC the sum of $1500.00 to reduce our obligation. We request that you favorably consider and process the attached resolution in due course.

(NESCO) has recently initiated a Fund Raising activity for the Charitable Trust. This event is our 20th Anniversary Ball and over $2500 has been deposited in the trust's account recently. John Bponer and Ambrose Smith agreed that it v/as best to pay the expenses of the event via the voucher system of NESCO. In order to pay the expenses NESCO will need to be reimbursed in advance. Expenses will reach $3000 fairly soon. Please authorize payments to cover these expenses in one or a series of checks made out to N.E.S.C.O. There is need to move in this matter quite quickly because we have a printing bill outstanding of about $1000 which should be paid before Thanksgiving. While your donation will be used for operating expenses for the Ball, we expect there to be a surplus to swell the funds of the Charitable Trust and further the Trusts charitable and educational purposes.

Notary Public[ My Commission Expires: Yr\-^ j 197^_ RESOLUTION OF THE NESCO CHARITABLE TRUST CONCERNING THE SELECTION OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEES TO REPLACE RESIGNED TRUSTEES PREAMBLE: (1) The original trust agreement for the NESCO Chari table Trust named myself (Raymond Fiscus), William Quick, and Sharon Sullivan as Trustees. William Quick and Sharon Sullivan have, in proper manner, resigned their offices on rCTo wg- ^- * 197_2r and vJO <\~e~ ^- / 1^1 g^ respectively. (2) There has been confusion as to the proper manner in which successor trustees are to be selected. The presumption has been that permanent successor trustees would be selected by the Delegate Board of NESCO, Inc., since that had been the manner for selecting the original trastees. It was further presumed that the express terms of Article V of the Trust agreement which allow a remaining trustee(s) to select successor trustees applied only to the selection of temporary trustees until the Delegate Board of NESCO, Inc., selected permanant trustees. (3) In accord with the presumptions in paragraph (2) above, the NESCO Delegate Board selected Robert C. Green and Martha Sowder as permanent trustees to replace William Quick and Sharon Sullivan upon their resignations. (4) The terms of the Trust agreement do net explicitly provide for selection cf successor trustees by NESCO, Inc. Furthermore, the only relevant and explicit terms of the Trust agreement (A_rticle V) state only that the remaining trustee (s) shall appoint successor trustees. There is no indication from the language of that provision that it applies only to temporary and not permanent trustees. Therefore, the selec tion of successor trustees by NESCO, Inc., may have been erroneous. If it was as this Resolution assumes, I, as the sole original trustee, am responsible for selecting two successor trustees to fill the present vacancies. WHEREFORE, pursuant to the duty vested in me by Article V of the NESCO Charitable Trust agreement dated December 2 83 19 71, I hereby appoint as trustees to fill the vacancies occasioned by the resignations of William Quick and Sharon Sullivan the following two persons: Robert C.
