Are some of your board members not contributing enough? Try this approach: Provide each board member with a list showing the amount contributed by each member, arranged from highest to lowest. Avoid identifying individual board members on the list, but make sure to identify the recipient of the list. This allows them to see how their contributions compare to others on the board. This method often prompts board members to increase their contributions or consider resigning.
This is unthinkable in British Philanthropic culture. I would pay good money to watch this conversation happen amongst some of our boards though. The awkwardness!
I wish we were as open and direct as our friends across the pond.

Give. Get. Or get off!
