2nd year NASA Grant

http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/first_application.php

I was looking through the guidelines and I noticed "9. If you are applying for year two funding you must also demonstrate at least $6,000 in existing community or corporate sponsorship. Please list below the company name, amount of sponsorship, point of contact at the company, and contact telephone number so that the reviewers may verify this support.
"

what if an applying 2nd year team fundraised 25% or so of the $6000? Does that count towards the $6000?
Thanks

imo I would say that would fall under the Community support but I wouldn’t know for sure.

When the grant application process comes online, there will be contact information for any questions you may have.

i would really like to get that for our team if we can score some money we could be a lot better
