In my experience I have found an agreement very helpful in getting all the particulars in one place and making sure that both the speaker and the museum have the same information about date, time, honorarium, a-v needs, contact information, etc. When I was at the Gettysburg Seminary Ridge Museum we included a check off box that said: I would like to donate my honorarium as a contribution to the museum. The agreement form was then used by accounting for billing purposes.

Subject: Speaker Honoraria
Hello All,
We have an ongoing speaker series and I'm working on revising the agreement we ask each speaker to sign in advance of his/her talk. Specifically, because several of this year's speakers have declined the honorarium we offer, I'd like to offer this as an option on the agreement form.
Does anyone else do this sort of thing? If so, would you be willing to share the verbiage you use?
Thanks in advance,
Lenora
