I believe the answer is:

nonprofit

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

'without making a dollar' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'last auction for pinto arranged' is the wordplay.
'last' suggests the final letters.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator.
The final letter of 'auction' is 'n'.
'for'+'pinto'='forpinto'
'forpinto' is an anagram of 'onprofit'.
'n'+'onprofit'='NONPROFIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for nonprofit that I've seen is " Nothing to gain by it!".)
