Funding for Brand New Team
Posted: Tue Jan 01, 2013 10:15 pm
Hello all,
I am truly and deeply sorry if a thread similar to this one has already been posted, but I have been unable to find any specific ones regarding what I am inquiring about.
To provide a bit of background (necessary to understand my question), I recently started a quizbowl team at my high school and many students are interested. We have not attended any tournaments as of yet, but we have registered and secured funding for our first one. The tournament's fee was rather low, so we were actually able to secure funding from a generous benefactor.
However, looking into the future, I have quickly realized that funding will be a bit of a problem. I know, by reading the forums, that the most common way to gain funds is by running a tournament. But because our team is so young I don't think it would be the best idea.
Basically, I am asking for ideas for funding the QB team that will be feasible for newer ones. If you've had experience directly related to a fundraising idea, then I'd love to hear it. Thank you so much in advance.
