Morphology

fundraising = fundraise (transparent) = fund + raise + ing

As the present-participle/gerund form of 'fundraise', the meaning 'engaging in raising funds' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Fundraising as a verb joins fund ('money kept for a purpose') and raise ('to lift up' or 'bring up'). A helpful image is people 'raising' money together, so to be fundraising is to collect or ask for money for a cause.
