Im not trying to take out frustration on anyone, I just don't get it. Sorry for hijacking this topic =/
It sounds like you have the desire, but the results aren't happening the way you like. You might want to do some research with other teams to find fundraising strategies that work for your team. It also sounds like you need to make the whole team aware of what needs to be raised, what they need to raise, and what methods you already thought of.

We raised 63k in 09, 35k last year, and are well on our way to 55k+ this year. In a poor agricultural town, with a small team. We're all normal people, it's just that the entire team is made aware of what we need to fundraise, and everyone is responsible for raising it (and we're willing to TRY anything).

Trust me, you get your ducks in a row, and you'll be raising way more than $5k easily.
