Re: Noun Phrase or Active Verb sentence

'The funds raised to help the poor'.

It is a clearly a noun phrase since funds cannot perform the action of raising! So it is not a sentence.

The analysis is:

Head: 'the funds'.
Modifying clause: 'raised to help the poor'.
Embedded Complement clause: 'to help the poor'.
