Good editor raised money (6)
I believe the answer is:
decent
'good' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'editor raised money' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'raised' is a reversal indicator.
'money' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this before**).
'ed' reversed gives 'de'.
'de'+'cent'='DECENT'
(Other definitions for decent that I've seen before include "Nice" , "Kind of respectable" , "Fairly good" , "Sufficient" , "Honest and modest" .)
