You're starting an anime club! That's great! 
My friends and I started an Anime Club at Notre Dame about two years ago. Not a lot of kids at that school even knew what anime was so we had a really hard time recruiting. Putting up posters helped but not so much.. It was all done pretty much through word of mouth and getting other members to bring their friends. Our school didn't really give us that much funding. The first year, we had about $400 and the second about $600 since it's up to how many members you have that actually paid their dues.
I also e-mailed a lot of companies like adv, bandai, and some of the smaller companies. (Pretty much ran a search on google for anime companies and e-mailed them all) I had about 4 or 5 responses saying they were willing to give our club free stuff (old anime/trailers/couple of episodes from a series) providing we could prove that we indeed had an anime club at our school. I would let you know which of those companies were but I graduated last semester and gave all that info to the president of the club.
My suggestion for you is to use your money wisely. We kept buying R1's from regular retailers like Best Buy which isn't really the cheapest way to go sometimes. I wanted to use Ebay but not a lot of members trusted that. Also, the showings that brought in the most people are the ones with FOOD
Students will go to a showing without knowing what they're gonna see as long as they've got pizza or something. We would sometimes have sushi, pizza or chinese food after a showing and it's a great way to get to know other members. Another important thing is your anime listserve. There is usually a "club night" at our school in the beginning of the semesters where all the clubs are present and all the kids come there to sign up for clubs they're interested in. Get anyone you can to sign your sheet to get their e-mails! Everyone's always busy and being able to e-mail kids who are interested two or three days before a showing helps a lot! Hmmm what else... Try to make your anime showing times and days consistent so it's easier for members to remember. We usually had 4 or 5 episodes of a series shown every Wednesday night, same time same place and a movie shown Saturday afternoon. And since you love anime, I have no doubt you will try your best to make others get into watching anime as well. Good luck! Give us an update of your club later on.
