fundraising

This is the correct and commonly used form.

The term "fundraising" refers to the act of collecting or producing money for a particular purpose, especially for a charity or organization.

Alternatives:

  • fund-raising
  • fund raising
  • fund collection
  • fund solicitation
  • charity event

fund-raising

This form is also correct but less common nowadays.

The term "fund-raising" is an older variant of the word, where the hyphen is used to connect the two words. It still conveys the same meaning as "fundraising."

Alternatives:

  • fundraising
  • fund raising
  • fund collection
  • fund solicitation
  • charity event
Both "fundraising" and "fund-raising" are correct, but the trend is to use "fundraising" as a single word without a hyphen. The hyphenated version was more common in the past, but the one-word form has become increasingly popular.
