Re: Forming a non-profit versus being under a school's jurisdiction
Individual non-profit status for a team is very expensive and very time consuming. Your best bet, if you're able to, is to find an already existing non-profit organization that will allow you to associate yourself with them and funnel your sponsorship funds through. A number of teams in my area do this and it works quite well.
There are non-profits that exist solely to support multiple smaller individual organizations such as FIRST teams.
