The board of directors are elected to make decisions. People will always have different opinions. And may well hold those opinions quite strongly.
Now if you invite opinion, lay out the options, listen to everyone's views and then make a decision, especially if you explain why you chosen a particular option, I don't really see how anyone can have much cause for complaint.
If however you simply say, this is what we have decided, now be a good chap and put your hand in your pocket, you invite hostility and piss people off.

After been picked up on your pledge fake news you now have a new line of attack in concentration of donors - why are you not just happy that your club is finding support for its innovative idea?
