Many companies forbid funding to school based organizations.

Our Georgia Tech team is continually working with new companies in Georgia to help fund teams. When a company cannot fund a school directly they funnel the money through our Tech account and then from us to the schools. Some companies have even managed to use their college recruitment funds to aid teams since they can justify it by aiding college FIRSTers who in turn mentor the high schools.

This may be an idea for the other college based teams out there if you have not done so already.
