Re: Non-profits and managing money.
1729 is also a 4-H club, administered under UNH. Like Exploding bacon, our liability, 503 (c) 3 non-profit status and background checks are handled through 4-H.
We're currently eligible for 4-H and FIRST scholarships, and we are plan on looking into UNH specific scholarships.
We don't pay dues to 4-H, but we do attend their presentations and we do volunteer to help with their 'get togethers'. This gives us both a community outreach and allows us to help those helping us. Even before we got our official team number, we were demonstrating FIRST at the local 4-H fair (we actually build a 'stone soup' robot at the fair) and we'll probably expand those activities in this coming year.
All in all, 4-H and FIRST are an excellent fit and 4-Hs new technology push only makes it better.
