Becoming a 4H club that uses school facilities might be a viable option. In some locations 4H clubs are entitled to a level of free use of school facilities. If that part of the equation would be good enough for your needs, you could then look into the regulations governing how 4H clubs handle their finances, and consider using something other than the school accounting system.
4H clubs aren't governed by the 501C3 regulations. They are governed by a (different) law that is similar to the 501C3 regulations. Sometimes that confuses a potential sponsor, but in my experience unconfusing a sponsor was almost always possible during a quick chat.
