Practice Locations are non-existent for us too, but we seldom have time left in our build season to practice anyway! It usually ends up outside on the parking lot with a small piece of carpeting.
As far as fundraising, we have had some success. Most of the funds are collected by the students. For information on how they do it, go visit:
www.marsbot.org.
It is difficult to give you specific information here on fundraising since a lot will depend on your geographic location and resources available in your community.
Good Luck!
