I sympathize with your situation. After winning the Canadian Regional last year, we qualified for championships but couldn't get the funds to go, so we didn't. This year, however, after winning FLR, we started getting funding for everywhere!

Our principal, school district, and two more companies all gave us money after winning FLR. After FLR we had the funds to go GTR and championships, all thanks to good publicity.

I guess my point is that if you want to raise money quickly, make a case for yourself and publicize it as much as possible, so the whole community knows. I hate to say it, though it's true, but publicizing yourselves will put pressure on your potential donors. As more people sponsor you, other companies will start to jump on the bandwagon and before you know it, you've raised a hell of a lot of money.
