Give, get or get off. A very common non-profit board requirement. It's not always in the bylaws, but it's a normal expectation.

Just wondering if anyone with a non-profit status requires their board of directors to give a certain dollar amount?
At my current institution, it is written into the by-laws...this has recently been questioned as to whether that is appropriate (the amount is $800 per board member) for the by-laws. I didn't feel that it was a prohibitive amount nor did I feel that it was 'outrageous' to put it into the by-laws - if it's only a suggestion how do you collect from board members?
Thanks.
