Definition
筹款 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to raise funds' or 'to fundraise'. When you need to add a duration, amount, or result, the two syllables split apart — the verb 筹 takes grammar markers (得/不, 了, 过, 到) and 款 stays as the object. For example: 筹到了很多款 ('raised a lot of money'), 筹过款 ('have fundraised before'). The cause or beneficiary is introduced with 为 or 给 before the verb.
