MAR does receive $1,000 per team from their initial registration. I think the operating budget from 2012 was around $400,000, so the remaining $300,000 was sourced from corporate/individual grants and donations.
I believe that the money for 3rd event registration goes to FiM/MAR ($500 in FiM, $1000 in MAR).
For 2013, MAR teams paid around $760,000 in registration to FIRST (MAR events only), and should have received $109,000 back (+ 3rd event money?). Not sure what operating costs were for this year (added another district event, but Lehigh was likely cheaper than Temple).
