Getting companies to sponsor you is not as simple as asking and getting. It's asking AND earning, but even if money did just land in people's laps, it's still disrespectful to tell them straight up that they didn't earn it.

I'm sorry we are having this difficulty with the intricacies of language. I would classify any form or raising funds as fundraising (hence the name).

Half of debating is understanding other people's language. A lot of time can be spent deciphering a slight difference in interpretation.
