4. Our school held a fund-raising event for poor children.
[Is 'for poor children' an adverbial phrase in this case? What about my explanations? Which explanation is common?]

In both sentences, “for poor children” modifies “event,” so it’s an adjective phrase.

I’m not sure which explanations you mean.
