Details:  Companies and partners in the Automotive Industry are welcomed to an invite-only seminar to learn about how the Funding Garage's Fundraising for Educational Competition Model allows businesses to show support for educational initiatives while achieving marketing objectives, increasing sales potential, and engaging high potential students for talent recruitment.

Background: Funding Garage Inc. helps high school and college students fund raise for educational competition. Funding Garage believes in supporting project based educational competitions as early as high school level. The future of the automotive industry depends on the talents going through educational programs. By exposing future talent to hands on learning through competition, it reinforces in real life situations what is learned on the textbook in the classrooms.

Challenge: One of the biggest challenge student teams has is raising funds for competition. Less and less companies are willing to provide monetary support to student teams in trade for a sticker on the side of a race car. Big educational institutes like University of Arizona participates in FormulaSAE only every other year. Funding Garage provides a tool for students to effectively raise funds, reduces the burden on competition hosts the need to heavily subsidize teams, and furthermore allows business affiliates that elect to get involved to spread brand awareness and hit marketing objectives through partnership with student's school and community via FG's unique sponsorship program.
