Raised money for the speaker (4)
I believe the answer is:
bred
'raised' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money for the speaker' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is slang for money).
'for the speaker' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bread' sounds like 'BRED'.
(Other definitions for bred that I've seen before include "Propagated, raised" , "(Well) brought up" , "Gave rise to" , "Produced offspring" , "Generated" .)
