    Default Fund raising" en espanol

    Hello! I haven't used this site since I had a corporate translating job about a year ago, but am glad to see it's still alive and kicking!

    I am now doing translation for a school and am struggling. What is the proper wording for "fund raising"

    Hi Pal !!! I would suggest the phrase "Recaudación de Fondos"

    Hope it helps

    Thanks!

    Just curious: Would using the phrase "levantar dinero" be wrong?

    I think fund raising refers to charity, or could it be for any other purpose too?

    BTW, you can also say:

    recolección de fondos
    colecta de fondos

    or more informal but sounds better than "levantar", you can say:

    juntar fondos para
    juntar dinero para

    Si trabajas en una ONG siempre estás pendiente del fund-raising. Se trata de actividades destinadas a ganar más fondos para la organización. Pueden ser por ejemplo solicitudes a instituciones caritativas por ejemplo una Fundación, o a fondos institucionales por ejemplo del gobierno. También hay eventos organizados para esto tipo Live8, y varios tipos de lazos con el sector privado. Hay campañas destinadas al individuo - puedes dar cierta cantidad mensual a tu ONG preferida, o ponerla en tu testamento. Todo esto es fund-raising.

    Hi,
    We use the word "fundraising" a lot in our school.
    I translate it as "recaudacion de fondos", even "recaudamiento de de fondos" depending on the context.
    Good luck!

    De acuerdo con Hebe y con Dragona. recaudación de fondos suena mas adecuado
