Are all of these grammatically correct sentences:

1) お金がなかったから

2) お金がなかったからだ

3) お金がなかったからです
They are all perfectly cromulent. The first is a sentence fragment (so not technically "grammatically correct") but you'll hear it all the time in conversation. The second is a full sentence in plain form. The third is a full sentence in polite form.

I have been reliably informed that ので sounds nicer than から, and is particularly favored in writing.
