Depends on what the project is. Who will benefit from it? Who might have an interest in seeing it successful?
Local businesses are usually willing to help if it is a project that will help the community.
A cousin of mine built a memorial for local Viet Nam vets. Every one in the community was willing to give.

Scouting has very strict rules about fund raising for your project. In your Eagle Scout packet the rules are spelled out. If you have any questions, meet with you Scoutmaster or your Eagle Scout advisor for your troop.
Good Luck from an Eagle Scout and the dad of an Eagle Scout.

Begging for friends, relatives and strangers to give you money to fund your idea is not a suitable eagle scout project. If your advisors are urging you to do that sort of thing, they are way off base. Your Eagle project should consist 99% of your efforts, sweat, ideas and dedication. Real problems are very rarely solved by donations, but by people's efforts. If you need the help of others, try to recast your idea to involve them by recruiting them to spend time working on your noble endeavor. That's leadership. That's what Eagle Scout means. Begging is not the scout way.

Ask those who have an interest in your project. Sometimes business people like to donate. Offer them a mention at your Eagle Court of Honor or on the project itself if possible. If you don't ask they won't give but if you ask they may or may not.
