What grants have you done?

Thanks for the idea. I never really thought of that. But I doubt there will be many just because of our small city size (which is the reason we're reverting to grants in the first place)

Thanks anyways

If you need any help with trying to get sponsors, our team has a sponsorship presentation that has gotten us a lot of sponsors. I can e-mail it to you, or help you out if you'd like. We are the only team in our city, yet I don't belive we have any sponsors from our city, we go to places where family members of the team members work (they always feel more obligated to sponsors, plus they see first hand the thrills we get from FIRST). Anyway, if you want any help, just send me an e-mail. kellyc@rmhsrobotics.com

and if anyone needs any help, send me an e-mail, we aren't doing so well with grants, but sponsorship wise is pretty good.

You might be surprised. 1729 is a regional team because of the VERY small towns (note: not city) it serves.

Also, most states have websites listing local charities that give grants to only local groups. In NH it's http://www.nhcf.org/. You might want to google your state + charities.
