Crossword Genius

In part onshore, a charity having influence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reach

'influence' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in part onshore a charity' is the wordplay.
'in part' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'REACH' is hidden in the letters of 'onshore a charity'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reach that I've seen before include "Arrive at the destination" , "Put out the hand for a part of the river" , "Extend an arm" , "Limits within which something can be effective" , "Hands up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
