אֵרוּעַ הַתְרָמָה
 

 

 
In order to do their good work, organizations need funds. So they go out and raise money in all sorts of creative ways, one of which is to hold a posh event where people come all dressed up, drink some good wine and make donations. 
 
fundraising event אירוע התרמה
 
 
Such an event is called a fundraiser in English, and אֵרוּעַ הַתְרָמָה   – literally, an event of fundraising – in Hebrew.

For example:
 
גַּם מוֹפַע מוּזִיקָלִי יָכוֹל לְהַוֹּת אֵרוּעַ הַתְרָמָה.
A musical performance can also constitute a fundraising event.
 
 
The word התרמה   comes from the title of this week’s Torah portion – תְּרוּמָה   – literally, donation. The word תרומה itself comes from the root ר.ו.מ (r.w.m) meaning lifting or raising.
 
התרמה is a noun deriving from Hebrew’s active-causative verb form, where the verb itself is לְהַתְרִים   to fund-raise.
 
Synonyms of להתרים include לְגַיֵּס כְּסָפִים   – literally, to collect funds – and לְגַיֵּס מַשְׁאַבִּים   to collect resources.
