fundraise
Collect charitable contributions
To fundraise is to solicit money for a cause, organization, or campaign.
Nonprofits fundraise for operating costs, politicians fundraise for elections, students fundraise for school trips.
The activity emphasizes active effort—asking donors, hosting events, running campaigns: We spent the summer fundraising for the new library.
Also appears as two words: fund-raise.
