Raised money, did you say? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bred

'raised' is the definition.
(eg bred children)

'money did you say?' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is slang for money).
'did you say?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bread' is a homophone of 'BRED'.

(Other definitions for bred that I've seen before include "Engendered" , "Developed (animal variety)" , "Propagated, raised" , "Produced offspring" , "Brought forth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
