I agree with DJ. Grants are a very good way for teams to receive funding. We applied for grants from Electronic Arts, and Oracle redently. Both of them have the possiblility of getting us anything from nothing to $20,000 each. It is really not that hard to create a grant proposal. My mother and I made one in a matter of hours.
To answer the question, I think that Electronic Arts would make a good sponsor. They have been making profits even though the economy has been bad, and they are a very prominent company.
Since I am really bored I think I'll go find some other companies too
