How many team members?

For those of you with very small teams (less than 14), who funds this and how do you justify the cost? Seems like an awfully large amount of money to spend for a relatively small number of students.

Our very small team is funded by our town, school, and multiple other sponsors. In the end, I wouldn't say that it's a lot of money to spend on a small number of students when our group of students inspires our entire school and community. A team's success isn't defined by the amount of students it has, it's defined by the amount of people they inspire to become interested in engineering. I'm proud to say that our "small team" has made a big impact.
