Definition
筹措 (chóu cuò) means 'to raise (funds)' and emphasizes the planning and arranging involved in gathering money, often for a specific project. It is more formal and comprehensive than 筹 (chóu), which is a shorter, more literary verb, and similar to 筹集 (chóu jí), though 筹措 stresses the preparatory aspect. 集资 (jí zī) is different: it specifically means collecting money from multiple individuals or investors, often for a collective venture.
