Yes, it depends whether you are using a school account or not. If you do use a school account, it already counts as a non-profit organization. If you decide to set up your own seperate account and want to be considered a non-profit, you need to apply for a 501(c)3, which as stated above is a whole lot of work and a lot paperwork to fill out.

Re: Help developing a business plan for our team.

Pedantry:

Public schools are not 501(c)(3) corporations, but they may accept tax-deductible donations. (I want to say that they fall under Section 509, but IANAL, and I don't remember for sure.)
