Boys without penny getting gold from patron (7)
I believe the answer is:
sponsor
'patron' is the definition.
('sponsor' can be a synonym of 'patron')
'boys without penny getting gold' is the wordplay.
'boys' becomes 'sons' ('son' can be a synonym of 'boy'**).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'penny' becomes 'p'.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'sons' enclosing 'p' is 'spons'.
'spons'+'or'='SPONSOR'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sponsor that I've seen before include "Patron; promote" , "Financial backer" , "Help fund a sporting or artistic event" , "Provide funds for a project or person" , "Promoter, godparent" .)
