From the NASA grant application:

Additionally, teams applying for a second year NASA sponsorship must:
• Demonstrate at least $6,000 of existing corporate or community funding, and
• Agree to mentor a rookie of the requested robotics competition team either directly or via telephone/email.


You have raised $ 2,500 last spring plus another $ 1,000 now.

You have raised from the community or corporate sponsors a total of $ 3,600.

There is NO statement from NASA regarding when you raised the money, just that it came from someone else. You are $ 2,400 short of your goal.

I would recommending giving a call to your regional director with a caveat. It is NOT your RD's job to find you money but the RD may be aware of some funds that are available in your community and would be appropriate for your team to pick up. So your RD may be able to help with some guidance.

From the wording of your email it sounds like there are some others issues out there that need some work.
