How the clue works
Right, so "1 across?" is pointing you to the answer at 1 across, which is BENEFIT — a fund-raiser is basically the same thing as a benefit event, that's your definition sorted. Now for the build: "In France" gives you F, the usual abbreviation, and "in Germany" gives UND, which is German for "and" — stick those together and you've got FUND. Then "shaver sounded" is your homophone signal, so RAISER sounds like RAZOR, a shaver, giving you the second half.
