Re: Easy 501-C-3 Set-up
We had a similar ban on fundraising. However, we convinced the school (rightly enough) that we should be allowed to seek out mentors, after all that is the point of FIRST. We would then ask (or be invited) to give presentations at various companies about the programs, and would include some pointed comments about our budget -- not actually solicit -- but include a slide like "100% of our funds come from donations, 10% from parents, 12% from company A, the rest, TBA," that and a few pointed comments usually gets companies to "offer" to give us an "unsolicited" donation. So the school takes their cut and we get the rest.
