This would require a change in the bylaws. Currently the only
difference allowed between Volunteer Active members (who don't pay at
all) and Contributing Active members is the entitlement to vote for
the Contributing Member Representative in the next elections.
Isn't it possible to do with just a board member vote? It's not
removing any benefits, just adding something like "those who contribute
at least $60 get a free mug". Legally the members would still have the
same status, as just Volunteer Active members or Contributing Active
members, except that we'd mail some people something and not mail other
people something. Unless the bylaws explicitly prohibit giving people
things based on how much they contribute, it doesn't seem particularly
problematic (but, of course, IANAL).
