Have you spoken to them about what their expectations are? You might be dealing with people who say, "Nah - I don't expect anything. You did all the work - good luck!"

Giving uninterested folks equity now could really be regretted later. What sort of grant are you going to give them? I've seen agreements in which the minority stockholder(s) had to agree to any deal that would dilute their percent ownership. That can kill a company since any investment would dilute common stock.

Just be careful doing this. I would talk with each one and work out separate deals with each if I could, even if it meant paying them a monthly amount over a two year period. I hate to pay out of pocket but I'd hate to give out equity for non-contribution even more.
