Daughter doing athletic event not initially asking for money (7)

'asking for money' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'daughter doing athletic event not initially' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation) and 'd' is located in the answer.
'not' could be 'un' (prefix meaning 'not') and 'un' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
