I am trying to get a FLL team started, and I have donations available that could cover a significant portion of our initial start-up costs.  The catch is that these donations need to be made to a non-profit group with a designation for our team. 

I am having a difficult time finding a non-profit group that will support this.  FLL coaches manual suggests working with a school.  Our school PTA has said "No" and the principal is not sure how to handle such a procedure.

Can anyone offer guidance on how to proceed?  Do you know any groups in Virginia and/or Richmond that might support a team and accept these donations on our behalf?

I appreciate any advice!
