punctuation - Implied Subjects & Sentence Completeness of Mission Statements

A complaint (by others, not our client) was made about a heading on a website we recently finished. They have a large header with this statement/sentence:





Transforming the Lives of Orphaned & Impoverished Children.




The issue in question was the period, which indicated a sentence.



My specific question is: Is that a complete sentence (implied subject or no)?



A broader question would be: Do mission statements need to be complete sentences, or can they be "complete" inasmuch as the context is determined by the company/organization to which they belong.
