How many students are on the team? Have you considered charging a team fee (to those who can afford it)? With most athletic sports charging in the range of $500-2000, we've found that a modest $100-200 fee is something most parents are fine with paying.

Our regional director was able to help us last year. We were about $1000 short, and she was able to get some employees (Microchip) to donate government-refundable donations.
Our team "demands" a $30 fee (we can't demand it, as we are a school club and cannot demand funds from members, or exclude them when they don't contribute). However, we also ask our members' parents to donate their tax-credit. Each family can donate $400 dollars, and individuals can donate $200. The government gives them back their money come tax-time.
Our school has pledged to gives us funds as well, but we can not always count on them either.
I'll keep your team in my prayers as well.
A lack of knowledge is okay; a lack of initiative to learn more is not.
