<div dir="ltr">There are some watch outs with the “Pay-to-Play” model. As mentioned, sometimes otherwise amazing contributors get left on the sidelines. It also has the potential to create a reputation for the organization as being led exclusively by “social
elites”. Happy to share an example of that offline if you like. </div>

Our Board member agreement contains language that they contribute as much as they are comfortable with. It also indicates that their contribution can be in-kind like treats for Halloween or Christmas, food at a community gathering. These are just as important
as the organization would have to be spending cash to provide these directly. I agree with Katie that you do not want to lose Board members because they cannot make say a $200 cash contribution when what they provide is worth many times more.</div>

So I will say that in a small nonprofit I worked for previously, the board decided to require that board members make a monetary donation and they ended up losing a board member who could not make that financial contribution but was a very visible volunteer
and contributed more volunteer hours than anyone else on the board. Not only that, she was also the one board member that connected the most with visitors and pushed membership the most to those visitors. As an observer, it looked like a huge loss for the
organization, more so than the amount they were requiring her to give. </p>

I guess I am saying, consider different forms of contributions that equals the same amount, money, volunteer hours, bringing in memberships, fundraising, etc.
