Re: searching for sponsors

The businesses that your team parents work for may be good prospects for sponsorship, but take it one step further: look at the companies they do business with, too. Science and technology related businesses are natural targets, but don't limit yourself.

The team parents need to help get you the contacts. Once you've got someone to talk to, you need to explain what FIRST is about and what the students on your team are learning from participation. Prepare a budget for the team for the year to show where the money will go.

As RoboMom mentioned, professional organizations are easy to approach for sponsorship, but think outside the engineering box. Team 103 has established a very good relationship with the Society for Biomolecular Screening, whose membership is mainly biologists and biochemists (who use laboratory automation every day).
