Organizations for Tanks in Schools?

[Baby Ray]

My science teacher wants to set up a small saltwater tank in her room (I am still in middle school) but she says that there are is no money in the budget to set up a tank, not matter what the size. I really want to help her out so do you know of any organizations (or anything else) that help set up tanks in schools and help with the budget problems?
Thank you so much!! Any suggestions will be appreciated :)

Read this thread and this is how this teacher dose it. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-coral-reef-project-at-stratton-elementary-school.232341/, go to the local fish stores and see if the will help you sponsor equipment, setup a go fund me account and ask members to donate. Have the students write companies like ecotech for equipment.

You could see if she or the school would start a gofundme page to raise the money. I biggest problem is what happens after you leave. Will there be someone to maintain it?

Either me or my teacher will take care of the tank. We both live very close to the school and my teacher has to go in almost everyday anyways to take care of the other pets she has in the class room which are, 2 betas, freshwater fish, corn snake, hedge hogs, hermit crabs, african cockroaches, and a turtle. A lot of the pets get taken home over the summer but some stay. I live within biking distance of my school and I wouldn't mind going out there. Also when no one can feed them we could set up an automatic feeder.
Thanks for the suggestions :) Lets keep them coming

What about a groupon kinda thing?(might have to get a parent to help set up an accout)
you and maybe a few friends do a cute video focused on how much you all could learn from this.
All the kids share the link around with their parents grandparents...explain what your doing and pop it up here.
Sure folks would chip in a bit.

I can write the script and everything ;)
I have also just been elected as the co-president of the student leadership council of my school (SLC). The school is VERY small, like less then 200 students from JK to 8th grade. Since I am the co-president, the principle will much more likely listen to me so that is a plus :)
