Re: How do you fund your big machinery purchases?

Our biggest purchase in team history was our trailer ($9,000 budget, including wrap, solar panels, and other neat stuff). One of our mentors, Isaac, put together a grant proposal (with a bit of team help) to Ingersoll Rand Foundation; he's an IR employee. We're listing IR Foundation as a platinum sponsor for three years based on this grant.
