Advice on fundraising/sponsors/grants for School Trip

Hey Everyone!

I am not a music educator but a parent. We have an AMAZING director for our schools Orchestra group (Middle School and High School) and our program has grown.

Recently, our students were recently invited to participate in a big Invitational next year. Everyone is so excited because the kids have worked so hard. However, the trip is going to be very expensive and a lot of our families don't have the finances to make the choice to go an easy one. So our booster club (non-profit) is trying to come up with fundraisers, grants, sponsors, anything that can help to get money to reduce the cost of the trip so that our students all can participate. I have made a list of some organizations that I have found out about through searches and some of the older posts here.

Any recommendations would be amazing. We are trying to get a jump start to try and make the trip as minimal of a financial burden.

Thank you!
