Re: Workshop/Tools/Parts
I see this hasn't been brought up or mentioned but I want to throw it out there.
Is your team or have you considered being incorporated as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization (team!)? Yes, there are requirements and steps have to be followed but 237 has been one since shortly after it was formed. This has enabled us to get donations of equipment, including Bridgeports, one right from where I work when they upgraded to Prototraks 11 years ago. A donation to the team and a tax write off for the company. Even was able to get a local autobody shop to donate 1.5 hours of their time and a rollback to move it.
It's just something to consider that can help in the long run.
