It's hard to be certain of a team's sponsors, but working under the assumption that NASA grant recipients would generally be good about making sure to credit NASA, I took a look at how many of the 2 year teams had NASA in their official team name.

I ignored teams founded in 2015 and 2016, which left me with 484 2 year teams. Of those teams, 105 - just under 22% - listed NASA in their team name. I can't think of any good way to identify teams that got the NASA grant for a single year, competed for one year without it, and then folded.
