Amazing us, rare find — means to make money (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fundraiser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to make money' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'amazing us rare find' is the wordplay.
'amazing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'us'+'rare'+'find'='usrarefind'
'usrarefind' with letters rearranged gives 'FUNDRAISER'.

'means' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fundraiser that I've seen before include "Event in support of a charity" , "Event to generate money" , "Someone generating money for charity" .)
