One place to view all documents
As it works now, we can upload documents to an organization or request and applicants upload documents into our letter of inquiry, application and follow-up forms. The downside is that when we go to look for a document, we have to know exactly where it was uploaded.
It would be amazing to have one place on the Organization Summary page where we can see all uploaded documents for that organization in one place, with columns showing when the document was uploaded, which Project Name it is associated with, which form it is located in, etc. It would also be amazing…

Make follow ups/final reports available under organization history
Right now it seems like there isn't a way for applicants to see their completed follow ups/final reports from previous grants by other users from their organization. Under Organization History, only the application is available. New grantwriters with an organization want to be able to see how previous final reports were filled out or how a project turned out.

Close Applications
We would like the ability to 'Close' an application, rather than 'abandon' or 'deny'. We leverage GLM to have a General Inquiry, which we then copy applications to different processes depending on a conversation with the applicant. Once we're done - not moving forward through the system, it causes confusion for the applicant to see the original as denied/abandoned.

Shared Documents - Access per Process
It would be very beneficial to allow Shared Documents to be uploaded per Process. Currently if you upload shared documents, all board members in other processes can also see anything that is uploaded. We are unable to use this for our committees for this reason and I have to e-mail the documents versus the board members being able to review them in Foundant.

Would anyone else like to see Declined grants in the Dashboard?
I love the quick Dashboard view to see what has been submitted, granted, etc. but would also like the same info at a glance for the number grants which have been declined. There doesn't seem to a be a "one click" way to view this info.

Include email responses in Contact email history
The contact email history would be a much better tool if it included all correspondence with the applicants. Only being able to view emails sent to the applicant and not seeing responses makes it an incomplete history.

Allow for weighting of different evaluation questions
At this point, we are having to use an external, web-based tool called Jotform to do our quantitative evaluation of proposals because of that programs ability to weight different criteria more heavily than others. This is creating a good amount of double work as we then need to move scores and program officer summary content from Jotform back into Foundant to maintain historical memory. We'd love to see the day when we can shed Jotform altogether. Any chances of that?

Collaborator Receive Emails
I love the collaborator feature! Here come the but. But it would be great if the collaborator could receive emails as well as the applicant. I have several executive directors that submit and application but then want someone else to complete the follow ups.

batch charity check
Batch Charity Check
I would love to be able to run a batch charity check. Ideally, I should be checking charity status at the time an application is received (prior to bringing to the board for recommendation) and again once payment is being processed. We have to board cycles a year with approx. 150-175 grants per each cycle. Does anyone have any workarounds they've put in place?26 votes -
Batch "add installment" and "make payment"
It would be handy to be able to add installments in a batch as well as make payments in a batch. We just distributed 53 checks and the last thing I want to do right now is have to manually update the amount and date of each of those checks. What would be handy is to have a list of all payments due and a batch payment option to indicate their completion.

Shared documents for applicants to use in applications
Now that Foundant GLM is used by so many foundations, perhaps it would be useful for applicants to be able to load documents in something like Shared Documents that they could insert into applications. Such documents could include Annual Reports, Board Members, Current Major Donors, Current Operating Budget, Audit, Letters of Support, Letters from Collaborators. It would be the applicant's responsibility to keep these Shared Documents up to date. Pulling these Shared Documents into an Application could be a time saver for applicants.

Allow e-mails to be delayed or scheduled in advance
We use manual e-mails for our responses to various requests and we sometimes process these outside office hours. We would like to be able to schedule manual e-mails for a later time or date.

Check/Uncheck All in Data Sets
When building a data set to run a report, it would be great to have a check all/uncheck all box. When I'm building my general data set to build my individual scholarship reports from it's very time consuming to have to check every single box for each question in the data field step.

Communication Tracking
Please consider adding a feature to document within the system a communications and activity log for organizations. All staff could access this log to monitor our engagement and verify information. It could be used for phone calls, emails, site visits, etc.

Make it easier to know when to close a request
I want to close a request when all follow ups have been completed and the grant/scholarship has been paid. I currently don't have visibility on these two pieces of info on the same workload page.
Ideas - make grant balance an custom field on follow ups workload page, or grant status (though that's a CSuite only field); have a count similar to third party of follow ups complete on the approval page as a column.

Duplicate Org Search/Merge Help
When doing a duplicate organization search/merge, it would be extremely helpful to have the last login date with the other basic info on the list of organizations. Right now you are just seeing two identical listings for the same organization with no way to tell which one is the newer/more up to date one without completely interrupting the process of what you are doing when you are choosing which organization is primary.

Set up an administrator notification for when evaluations are completed
We have our evals set up to get management approval of submitted grants before we proceed with processing them. I'd love to get a notification that the evals were completed to serve as a prompt for me to log in and move the application forward.

Sending Follow-up Reminders to Multiple People associated with an organization
It would be great if there was a way to send the follow-up form reminders to multiple people within an organization. For example to the person assigned to the form plus the executive director.
