Re: Are Engineering Societies Contributerss?
ASME has sponsored our team (#926) the past two years through the local chapter. They do not qualify as a major sponsor for us, but every bit helps. Most professional organizations are non-profit and do not have a lot of cash to through around. That said, many have community outreach programs so anything is possible.

We have found that personal connections work better for finding sponsors than cold callings or bulk mailings. If you have a parent or mentor that is a member of a professional society, have them to make the initial contact.
