I’m not saying there is a clearly better structure available for this purpose—I think the weirdness comes from the fact that it’s so unclear who should go in the box normally reserved for “Shareholders” or “Voters.”
Isn’t the obvious answer for nonprofits “Donors”? (Yes, it’s not immediately obvious how amount or recency of donations should translate into power to ultimately direct the organization, but this at least tells you who should go in the box.)
That’s not to say that this is how nonprofits are run (it seems not to be) but that it would be the obvious translation of the ways that for-profit companies and governments are run.
