Board Dues: FAQ
  • "Why are board members required to pay dues?
    • Board dues are common for nonprofit boards, because as the "heart" of the organization, the bard must display that they support the organization and is invested in its mission. When asking the external community to support the organization, it is good practice to display that the organization's own board members also support it.
  • What is Season to Soar's Board Due Policy?
    • A minimum $50 annual contribution must be donated by the member. The "give-or-get" board due policy may be applied for the remaining $100; meaning the additional $100 may either be personally donated by the member or the member may raise $100 through fundraising or requesting donations)
  • How much are Season to Soar's Board Dues?
    • Season to Soar's Annual Board Dues are $150 (as mentioned above, this includes $50 donation and $100 give-or-get)
