My Nonprofit Reviews

Our robotics program (one FRC and two FTC teams) budget is funded through student dues (about 50%), small grants (about 15-20%), and the balance through the school (an arrangement made since students are not, by policy, allowed to fundraise or seek sponsorships from companies in the community. We try never to turn any student away from the club simply because of dues, which have been $200 for the year. This grant was specifically allocated to cover a well deserving student's dues, enabling the student to join, learn from great mentors and peers, participate in the robot's design, build and competition events.
