Are you partners with Best Friends? Maybe they can post in their network for traps to support your trap depot.
Maybe try John Peaveler- he might know some grant opportunities.

Subject: TNR Traps
I have been working for the past 2 years on trying to start a TNR program for our poor, rural community. I'm finally getting closer to my goal as I have been in touch with a TNR group that wants to help make this happen for our community. We have figured out how to pay for the s/n clinics but my question is how to we obtain enough traps to pull this off. The group I am talking with can do 150 s/n in 1 day but I have no idea on how I can get 150 traps. We are barely going to pull off enough money to pay the vets. We have no extra money and live in a rural community of less than 3,000 people. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
