We have spent the school account down to $0 this year, but sponsors are getting ready to send checks for next year.
(a) how do you setup a community team?
(b) should I take the team # with us or start from scratch with FIRST?

I just did this with our team. The free online application for an EIN number gets you the number instantly (so you can open a bank account), and the online "EZ" version of the 501(c)3 application is actually easy, costs only $400, and we were approved in a week. PM me, if you have any questions. (I'll try to watch for a PM...I'm really horrible about noticing that I get a message).
