Having been arranged

They want to know why a donation of this kind having been arranged.

How to name the verbal structure having been arranged in the above sentence?

I've made some research and found that it is a verbal part of the absolute clause but couldn't pinpoint the name of such a verbal form.

If you want an absolute clause, you'll have to do it differently.

A donation of this kind having been arranged, they felt relieved that they could continue their charitable work for the poor.

Thanks CJ.

Can I say that having been arranged functions as a hanging participle in the sentence?

No. It has a subject of its own (donation), so it can't be construed as a modifier of 'they'.
