Annual Fund ‘Giving and Getting’ Guidelines for Your Board of Trustees

* A “give and get” minimum requirement combination of personal giving and personal raising of funds to be a trustee also isn’t a good idea. The minimum total amount “quota” you set for them could be far less than some trustees might account for in total by way of their own gifts and from what they personally could raise from other sources. As a result, they most likely will relax their efforts when meeting their lower “goal.” They will, in effect, have done the job as you asked — and chances are they will not do more.
