I believe the answer is:

put up

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'provide the money' is the first definition.
'put up' can be an answer for 'provide' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'the money' bit.

'accommodate someone' is the second definition.
'put up' can be an answer for 'accommodate' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'someone' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for put up that I've seen before include "Accommodated" , "Give accommodation to" , "Provide a bed for the night" , "Take lodgings" , "Give a bed to" .)
