amount vs. amounts

0Hi,02br
02br
00I checked out my Collins/Cobuild Compact English Learner's Dictionary for the word 'fund' and saw it listed as such:02br
02br
001. N-PL Funds are amounts of money that are available to be spent.02br
02br
002. N-C A fund is an amount of money that is collected for a particular purpose. 02br
02br
00My confusion lies with the word 'amounts', does that word mean many different funds that come from many different sources?0-
