We do not receive any monetary support from the school board, district, or schools. We are legally affiliated with one of the 5 high schools in the county, but we have members from all the schools in the county and homeschooled student(s). While we don't get funding, the high school we are affiliated with allows the old band room to double as the school's STEM classroom and our lab. In return, we buy equipment/tools/machinery with our funds that become the school's property. It works, and has worked for the past two years we've had this arrangement. The odd circumstances arise largely from the fact that the school board doesn't support us whatsoever, but my school's principals are some of our biggest fans, so they try and do everything they can to support us.
