raise money

phraseB1Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

To raise money is to collect funds for a purpose. A sponsored silence, a cake stall, a company selling shares to pay for a factory.

It takes for: raise money for a new roof. The verb covers both ends of the scale — the school fete and the share issue use the same words — and it is always for a named thing, which is what separates it from earning. Fundraising is the noun, a fundraiser is either the event or the person, and raising the money is what a project has to do before it can start.
