It's charitable of Max, maybe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxfam

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

'it's charitable' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'of max maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'of'+'max'='ofmax'
'ofmax' anagrammed gives 'OXFAM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oxfam that I've seen before include "relief agency" , "A famine-relief charity" , "Famine relief charity" , "Famine relief organisation" , "Disaster-relief charity" .)
