This is incorrect. Schools are not 501c3 organizations. I thought the same thing until i tried to write a grant and one of the requirements was a EIN for the 501c3 organization. I put our school's number on the application and it was kicked back for not being on the federal list. School districts have gotten around this by creating a foundation for the entire school system that is 501c3 compliant. My county has no such foundation. I had to get help from my state FIRST organization to push the grant through.
Edit: ok it might not be totally incorrect. i'm just giving you my experience.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
