When I got my company to sponsor my team they paid the money to JMU who then in turn paid for things on my behalf.  Dustin and the rest of the folks at JMU were extremely helpful in handling the funds for me.

They regularly deal with these types of issues.   You may have to start a 4-H club and be chartered (not a very hard thing to do).  4-H is also one of the partners of FLL and they have a free on-line tutorial program that teaches kids basic NXT programming.  Google "Fire 4-H Robotics".
