"Project Open Hand" has been "Cookin'Up Love" for people with AIDS since 1985,
and over the past eight years has become the world's largest provider of food to people with
AIDS. But in spite of its size, the real strength of Project Open Hand has been its emphasis on
the needs of individual clients. The INDEPENDENT SECTOR delegation will get a hands-on
view of this philosophy with a visit to the Open Hand Kitchen. Upon arrival they will
participate in the daily task of packaging the 1600+ meals, in 24 separate menus, for Project
Open Hand's clients. And along with putting the meals together, the INDEPENDENT SECTOR
delegation will have a chance to sample their work, by enjoying the same meal they have just
packaged for Open Hand's clients.
After lunch, the delegation will travel to the workshop of "The Names Project," the world-
renowned memorial to victims of AIDS. Since its inception in 1987, The Names Project "Quilt"
has grown from an idea in the fertile mind of activist Cleve Jones to a sprawling 15 acre
patchwork. At the Names Project workshop, the INDEPENDENT SECTOR delegation will get
a first-hand glimpse of the loving handiwork that sews and maintains the ever-growing quilt.

"The Presidio: Soon to be a National Park" - Interested in the exciting plans for the
conversion of the U.S. Army Presidio to a national park, global environmental center and
nonprofit hub? A representative of the Golden Gate National Parks Association (GGNPA) will
tell about the ambitious-planning-process to turn the Presidio into an international attraction, the
crucial role of nonprofit organizations in the conversion process, and how to pay for the
dramatic transformation. The one-hour briefing will include descriptions of the public/private
partnership that is envisioned in the funding and management plan, and the Community
Consultation Initiative - a project dedicated to creating park access for socio-economic
3
communities that are traditionally underserved by the National Park System, thereby creating
a truly multi-cultural, educational, not "just another" park.
After the presentation, participants will board a bus for a guided tour of the 1,500-acre Presidio,
which has been called the most extraordinary piece of urban real estate in the world. See where
targeted recreational, educational and nonprofit organization facilities will be located in the new
park and learn about the Presidio's rich military history from the Spanish to the Union Army
during the Civil War, to today's U.S. Sixth Army.

"Gray's Anatomy" - Spalding Gray, Monologuist, Cowell Theater at Fort Mason
Center. Again Mr. Gray brings a major piece to our community through SOLO/MIO, destined
for Lincoln Center and, like his previous works, film and book versions. His hilarious search
for a healthy right eye, world-traveling to pray at the feet of an amazing collection of quacks,
New Agers choking in sweat-lodges, New Jersey dieticians and Richard Nixon makes this
Spalding Gray's best monologue since "Swimming To Cambodia."

Berkeley Repertory Theater: "Dancing at Lughnasa" by Brian Friel. Berkeley
Repertory Main Stage (Berkeley). In the mostly Catholic but significantly pagan County
Donegal of 1936, the four Mundy sisters live a life close to the earth, anticipating the Festival
of Lughnasa celebrated each year at harvest. Seen through the eyes of a young boy growing up
in their care, this play is a lovely evocation of a time when all things seemed to return home -
a missionary priest, a wayward love, and a cantankerous wireless radio that brought the outside
world musically into their midst. Winner of both Tony and Olivir Awards for Best Play.
Departs:
6:00 p.m.

Food:

Oakland Ballet: "Romeo and Juliet" by Ronn Guidi. Paramount Theater, Oakland, an
art deco gem. When you fall in love for the first time it is forever. Bitter, lonely rivalry and
thwarted passions are transcended by the power of love in this world premiere production of one
of history's most important and beloved ballets. As in his other acclaimed full length work,
Ronn Guidi focuses on the drama, intimacy and intensity of the story promising to set this
production apart from all others. Oakland Ballet's full complement of dancers perform to
Prokofiev's monumental score played live by the Oakland East Bay Symphony.

American Conservatory Theater: "Pygmalian" by George Bernard Shaw. Marines
Memorial Theater. Shaw's tour de force on love, London and the pleasures and perils of the
English language. Two clever, literate men attempt to sculpt a flower girl into the "perfect"
creature, little thinking that once formed, she will have a life of her own. This witty comedy
will be brought to life for the first time at A.C.T. by director Richard Seyd and a stellar cast.

American Conservatory Theater: "Pecong" by Steve Carter. Stage Door Theater.
Benny Sato Ambush, who electrified audiences last year with "Miss Evers' Boys," takes us to
a Caribbean "island of the mind" where Steve Carter has set his tale of magic, passion and
betrayal. The title refers to an explosive "talking competition" that forms the climatic center
of this rich work, loosely based on the Medea Legend and set against the fantastical landscape
of Carnival.

SUNDAY - OCTOBER 17, 1993
MORNING ACTIVITIES
1.
"The Names Project" AIDS Memorial Quilt is the world's most visible symbol of the
human impact of the AIDS pandemic. Through the creativity of the friends, family members
and lovers who made it, the Quilt illustrates the lives behind the statistics of AIDS. It includes
more than 24,000 panels, each commemorating someone who has died of AIDS, and it is
growing every day. Portions of the quilt are displayed more than 200 times every year
throughout the nation to help increase awareness, inspire compassion, and raise funds. At the
Names Project workshop on Market Street, the INDEPENDENT SECTOR delegation will get
a first-hand glimpse of the loving handiwork that sews and maintains the ever-growing quilt.
After the Quilt, we will move on to "Project Open Hand." Project Open Hand started in 1985
with the determination of one woman to feed friends with AIDS, and over the past eight years
has become the world's largest provider of food for people with HIV. But in spite of its size,
the real strength of Project Open Hand has been its emphasis on the needs of individual clients.
The INDEPENDENT SECTOR delegation will see that first hand with a visit to the Open Hand
kitchen and by helping to assemble this Sunday's meals. Project Open Hand operates a food
"assembly line" that would have made Henry Ford proud, packaging 1600+ meals each day.
And along with putting the meals together, the INDEPENDENT SECTOR delegation will have
a chance to sample their work, by enjoying the same meal they have just packaged for Open
Hand's clients.

MEETING CONVENER & CHAIRPERSON OF
INDEPENDENT SECTOR
Raul Yzaguirre
Raul Yzaguirre was elected Chairperson of INDEPENDENT SECTOR at
the 1992 Annual Meeting. Raul Yzaguirre has served as Executive Director
of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) since 1974, and became its
President and Chief Executive Officer in 1978.
A lifelong community activist, he began his civil rights career at the age of
15 when he organized the American G.I. Forum Juniors, a component of
the American G.I. Forum, a family-oriented organization of Mexican
American veterans.
Raul Yzaguirre
After four years in the Air Force, he attended George Washington
University, receiving a B.S. in General Studies with a concentration in
management and social sciences.
Mr. Yzaguirre founded the National Organization for Mexican American
Services (NOMAS), and wrote a proposal to The Ford Foundation on
behalf of NOMAS which helped to sensitize the Foundation to
Hispanic needs.
In 1966, Mr. Yzaguirre joined the Migrant Division of the U.S. Office of
Economic Opportunity (OEO), where he served as a program analyst, and
was a member of the Advisory Committee to Sargent Shriver, the Director
of the War on Poverty. Mr. Yzaguirre left OEO in 1969 to establish and
become Executive Director of Interstate Research Associates (IRA), the
first Hispanic research association.
Since joining NCLR, Mr. Yzaguirre has helped it become one of the
David Vidal of Continental Corporation and Kay Carlson of The Equitable Founds-
largest and most respected national Hispanic organizations. He has

received numerous honors; in 1979, he was the first Hispanic to receive a
Rockefeller Public Service Award for Outstanding Public Service from the
Trustees of Princeton University. In 1980, he received a fellowship to the
Aspen Institute. He received the Common Cause Award for Public Service
in 1986. In 1989-90, he served as one of the first Hispanic Fellows of
the Institute of Politics, John F. Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University.
Mr. Yzaguirre founded and serves on the Board of the Hispanic
Association for Corporate Responsibility (HACR), is Chairperson of the
National Hispanic Quincentennial Commission, a Trustee of the Enterprise
Foundation, Co-Chairperson of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda,

In 1981, when what is now called AIDS had no name but already had

to the seriousness of this disease. For several years, she did so in the face
of widespread denial that AIDS threatened American society at-large.
At the same time, she spoke against the rising public fear and
discrimination that was based on widespread misconceptions about the
nature of AIDS and how it could be transmitted. Dr. Krim also has led the
battle to make experimental drugs available for treatment of patients with
advanced AIDS.
Under Dr. Krim's leadership, AmFAR has been able to fund imaginative
and innovative projects that might otherwise go unsupported. It has acted
as a catalyst for many of its grantees who subsequently obtained large

With this fax, I'm including the program for Tuesday. If
your schedule permits, I hope you'll feel free to sit in
on any other sessions that look interesting. If you're
free Monday evening, we'd welcome having you join us for
our host city event at the California Academcy of
Sciences and/or for a reception in my room (#562) from
9:30-11:00pm. If you can do either or both, let me know,
and I'll make sure that you have a chance to meet even
more of the participants than you might on Monday
morning.
If you can stay after your session, I'd welcome having a
small gathering including lunch so that you can spend
more time with some of the individuals most likely to be
important allies in your important endeavors.
As Susan may have mentioned, there is an outside chance
that the White House will send someone to discuss other
aspects of the Administration's relationships to this
sector, including some of the concerns relating to tax
policy, advocacy activities and the like. Doric Matsui
along with Alexis Herman and Suzanna Valdez are working
on that side of it. They're also trying to arrange a
message from the President. If they are not successful
in arranging another participant, we hope that they will
send the President's message for you to present.
The person staffing your session is Catherine Pino, who 1
know has already been in touch with your office to help
arrange for transportation to and within San Francisco,
hotel accommodations and anything else we can be helpful
on.
It will be good to have you with us.
Sincerely,
Smin

SUBJECT: Invitation for Eli segal to Speak at Our Annual
Meeting, Tuesday, October 19, in San Francisco
This is a follow up to our conversation about our Annual Meeting.
The overall meeting is scheduled October 17-19 in San Francisco.
As I mentioned, Raul Yzaguirre has been working with the White
House to try to arrange the participation of the President, Vice
President, or First Lady. He has been working with Alexis Herman
and her assistant, Suzanna Valdez. While those negotiations were
taking place, I did not want to seem to interfere or undermine
them by extending an invitation to others in the White House for
that same slot.
It's been my hope that in the absence of one of those three
participating that we could use the time, one of the principal
plenary slote at the meeting, to have Eli talk about the Act and
the new Corporation. What I propose to you is that we try to get
Eli to fill that slot, and then if one or the three does in fact
accept, we would have that person provide some general remarks
and then have Eli deal with the specifics of national and
community service.
The timing for Eli's briefing could not be better. The meeting
will involve the national leaders of philanthropic and voluntary
organizations, most of whom will be keenly interested in the not
and Corporation and Eli's view of them. It would give him a
chance to speak to a group that has enormous potential for
helping to initiate and implement his plans.
We would, of course, cover costs including transportation and
work with you to make the most of this occasion.

MEMO TO MEMBERS
OCTOBER 1, 1993
1, GOOD NEWS ON ADVOCY RIGHTS & POSTAL RATES
Senator Stevens was finally persuaded not to submit his
proposed amendment to postal rates legislation which would
have prohibited the use of nonprofit mail rates to solicit
funds for advocacy efforts by voluntary organizations. This
is the fourth serious advocacy issue raised by the
administration or Congress this year which, fortunately
through your efforts, we successfully turned aside. It's a
reminder of the basic job still to be accomplished to get key
government leaders to understand that advocacy is a
legitimate function of philanthropic and voluntary
organizations.
on an important related issue, there will only be a modest
increase in nonprofit postal rates over the next several
years, at least compared to what had been proposed. The new
law allows an annual increase of about 4% through 1998 for
third class mail and about 2% annually for second class.
2. DETAILS ON THE NHW NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE TRUST
ACT
Congress has passed, and the President has signed the
National and Community Service Trust Act which establishes
the major new Corporation for National and Community Service,
which among other things consolidates the ACTION agency and
the Commission on National and Community Service and
establishes the general concept and name of "Americorps."
These developments represent major opportunities for many IS
Members. Enclosed is a summary.
3, CURRENT ISSUE OF STATE TAX TRENDS
Enclosed is the latest issue of State Tax Trends including a
report that "hidden taxes" impose a significant burden on
nonprofits.

September 27, 1993

From:
Susan Stroud
Re:
White House connections with foundations and non-profits
I have attached two articles from the current Chronicle of Philanthropy which decribe a
less than happy relationship generally between the White House and the non-profit and
foundation sectors. The concerns seem to focus around two issues:
1)
legal issues related to tax laws governing non-profits, especially
provisions related to lobbying activities, and
2)
a perception that the non-profit sector is not sufficiently consulted
on social policy issues.
Part of the problem seems to be the raised expectations that a new Democratic
administration would result in a much closer consultation with liberal leaning non-profits.
The main contacts within the White House appear to be Melanne Verveer and Doris
Matsui. The only federal agency that gets good marks in these articles is HUD.
I would argue that ONS has done a very good job of consulting with foundations and
non-profits. We may want to make this known to Melanne both because ONS should be
appreciated for what we have done and because it may help Melanne in her efforts to deal
with these groups. You can assure her that the Corporation will continue to strengthen
these relationships.
Specically, we have consulted extensively with:
1)

Clinton and
Non-Profits:
a Mixed

Administration has asked them
for insights on issues from AIDS
to urban decay, but President

W
dent, non-profit leaders jubilantly pre-
dicted a new era of cooperation with the
federal government. Now, almost a
year later, they are sharply divided over how well the
President has lived up to their expectations.
Groups that work on specific issues-community
development, AIDS, and child-and-family policy, to
name just three-say that they have enjoyed access
and influence at the highest levels of government and
that some of the best ideas developed in the non-
profit world are being embraced by federal policy
makers. Indeed, at least two senior Administration
officials-Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment Henry G. Cisneros and AIDS Policy Coordina-
tor Kristine M. Gebbie-have designated top lieu-
tenants to work closely with non-profits and founda-
tions.
But on a broader question-how well the Adminis-
tration has recognized and supported the non-profit
world as a whole-many leaders are bitterly disap-
pointed. They charge that the Administration has
failed to articulate how the $700-billion non-profit
world fits into its domestic agenda, notably the plan

We're not going to be able to accomplish all we
want solely with governmental funds, nor is it even
correct to do so," he said.
In part to look at ways to improve collaboration with
non-profit groups, the Secretary has appointed a former
Mayor of St. Paul, George Latimer, as director of a new
Office of Special Actions.
"His job is to develop the concept, to see what is
possible." the Secretary said, "up to the level that

'Potential for Collaboration'
Secretary Cisneros said that several foundation ef-

Among the models he cited: the Cleveland Founda-

March calling for a neighborhood-by-neighborhood ap-

SUBJECT: Invitation for Eli segal to Speak at Our Annual
Meeting, Tuesday, Uctober 19, in San Francisco
This is a follow up to our conversation about our Annual Meeting.
The overall meeting is scheduled October 17-19 in San Francisco.
As I mentioned, Raul Yzaguirre has been working with the White
House to try to arrange the participation of the President, Vice
President, or First Lady. He has been working with Alexis Herman
and her assistant, Suzanna Valdez. While those negotiations were
taking place, I did not want to seem to interfere or undermine
them by extending an invitation to others in the White House for
that same slot.
It's been my hope that in the absence of one of those three
participating that we could use the time, one of the principal
plenary slots at the meeting, to have Eli talk about the Act and
the new Corporation. What I propose to you is that we try to get
Eli to fill that slot, and then if one of the three does in fact
accept, we would have that person provide some general remarks
and then have Eli deal with the specifics of national and
community service.
The timing for El1's briefing could not be better. The meeting
will involve the national leaders of philanthropic and voluntary
organizations, most of whom will be keenly interested in the not
and Corporation and Eli's view of them. It would give him a
chance to speak to a group that has enormous potential for
helping to initiate and implement his plans.
We would, of course, cover costs including transportation and
work with you to make the most of this occasion.

As an indication of our interest and what I know is the interest
of our Members, I'm enclosing the cover page of our Memo to
Membors going out tomorrow in which I report on the Act and
Corporation and indicate "these developments represent major
opportunities for many IS Members." When the memo goes out, I'm
enclosing the seven-page summary of the Act prepared by the
Commission.
If there's any additional information you need, by all means, let
me know.
When we talked, I mentioned that I had just come out of a search
committee interview for the executive directorship of the new
international organization, CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen
Participation, and when I returned I did have a chance to mention
to Jim Joseph the nature of the welcome interruption. Jim said
that even though the next couple of weeks would be pretty frantic
for Eli that he would cncourage him to take advantage of the
timeliness of this opportunity to reach so many key people all at
once.
I'll obviously be eager to hear how it goes. Thanks for your
help.

MEMO TO MEMBERS
OCTOBER 1, 1993
1. GOOD NEWS ON ADVOCY RIGHTS & POSTAL RATES
Senator Stevens was finally persuaded not to submit his
proposed amendment to postal rates legislation which would
have prohibited the use of nonprofit mail rates to solicit
funds for advocacy efforts by voluntary organizations. This
is the fourth serious advocacy issue raised by the
administration or Congress this year which, fortunately
through your efforts, we successfully turned aside. It's a
reminder of the basic job still to be accomplished to get key
government leaders to understand that advocacy is a
legitimate function of philanthropic and voluntary
organizations.
on an important related issue, there will only be a modest
increase in nonprofit postal rates over the next several
years, at least compared to what had been proposed. The new
law allows an annual increase of about 4% through 1998 for
third class mail and about 2% annually for second class.
2. DETAILS ON THE NEW NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE TRUST
ACT
Congress has passed, and the President has signed the
National and Community Service Trust Act which establishes
the major new Corporation for National and Community Service,
which among other things consolidates the ACTION agency and
the Commission on National and Community Service and
establishes the general concept and name of "Americorps."
These developments represent major opportunities for many IS
Members. Enclosed is a summary.
3. CURRENT ISSUE OF STATE TAX TRENDS
Enclosed is the latest issue of State Tax Trends including a
report that "hidden taxes" impose a significant burden on
nonprofits.
