Default Instructing in club environment

Tim -

Our club near Seattle, WA does the following things:

1) Instructors do not pay our normal $32/month dues, which works out
to $384/year they don't have to pay. They still must pay flight-fees
if they want to fly a club glider (either $40/flight or ~$28/month for
12 months).

2) Our club helps organize FIRCs and SSF visits; but I do not know if
we compensate the instructors for these (I don't think we do).

3) Right now, not much. We have, on occasion, offered up to $500 or
so to select members to help them afford the check-ride or other items
to make sure they finish up their CFIG and become a volunteer
instructor.
