Hi all,

I'm currently the captain of a second-year team that is hoping to use this off-season to fundraise for the upcoming year for our team. Last year as a rookie team, our budget was only about $1,000, most of that coming from parent donations. This year, we want to attend more competitions, build a more competitive robot, and help more people, so we have increased our expected budget to $3,000. We were just wondering what have been the most successful fundraising options for your team? We have started thinking about crowdfunding campaigns, sponsorship and grant requests, etc, but would appreciate some advice as far as which companis/websites/methods are best. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
