My team, 1108, is a rookie team this year. We started with a 10,000 dollar grant from nasa. But we have raised over 10,000 on top of that. We did this by aggressively seeking sponsors in our community of 5000. It helped because are school's endowment society gave us 1000 and schools to career gave us 1000. We also got a 3500 grant from another local memorial fund devoted to education. The best way to get money is to ask. Have a reason you need it, aka to go to national, and make a presentation to people with money. We have also begun a raffle with items we have got donated, including a gps unit( one of are engineers works at Garmin). We have raised 700 dollars by taking the ticket around our city and using the edubot as a tool to draw interest.
