Consider applying for one of the small program grants offered here, if still available. Worth investigating

I need to know how you fund your teams.  So many of you, I know, have college money support.  That is not an option for us because New York has no money for anything.  How do you fund raise?  What do you do?  Please send ideas.  Thank you!
