It would make the scholarship process go a lot more quickly and efficiently if the Student's ID and University synced to CSuite for payment.

add installments
I have just bumped into GLM's limitation for increasing a grant amount after installments have been paid, even though follow-ups are pending and the grant isn't closed. I searched for other posts on this topic and fund several that had all be archived for lack of votes. Our Community Foundation needs the ability to increase award amounts because when we do not initially fund a proposal in full, we often talk to our donors about helping bridge the gap. For reporting on grant activity and outcomes, it's important that these "follow-on" grants are linked to the same request. There are…
2 votes10/4/2023: Grants: Enhanced the look of the Grant Catalog by adding tabs: Details, Grantees, Content. This will allow for better organization of the fields within a grant Catalog. The header box will be a quick reference point for the Catalog ID, Request Dates, Catalog Dates, and the Funding Goal.
From the Details tab, users will find the detail options and settings, grant categories, and the reporting for the Grant Catalog. Added the functionality for Grant Catalogs to allow for a Nonprofit to receive a donation amount over the Requested amount. This new option is a checkbox on the Grant Catalog Details tab, Allow Overfund Grants. Once the grant has been fully funded, it will move from the Unfunded Bucket to the New Bucket.
Grantees Tab will be house all of the Grantees information. On the left hand menu, users will find a new options to Invite Grantees to the Grant…

Allow Color/Fonts/Pt Size for Applicant Answers
Hello!
For resume sections, it would be helpful if applicants could also adjust the color, font select, or size of their type. Rich text is helpful, but there are certain limitations.
I know there are downsides for color - such as a student selecting a hard to read color, but maybe offer darker colors that are easier to use, but still enhances the application.
Perhaps in the future, admin can have the ability to choose what type of rich text features are allowed in a question/section? I do know that is more automatic type of functionality however.

Follow Up Due Dates - Past Due Notices
Why are follow up forms showing Past Due on the due date? Foundant needs to change their Past Due notice to 11:59 p.m. the day of the due date. NOT 12 a.m. the day the follow up is due! Our grantees panic when they see Past Due on the very day that their follow up is due.

Exporting all contacts for organizations with option to filter the organizations
I would like to be able to export/run a report all contacts associated with a group of organizations (e.g. active grantees). Currently you can only export the primary contact and contacts associated with a request, but we frequently have more than 2 contacts per org. It would be great to be able to run a report that includes all these contacts (name, email, and title). Then we only need to make sure contacts are up to date in Foundant and run reports when we want to send email merges.

Override Follow-up sequential order
It would be ideal if the order of follow-ups was not enforced. We assign our follow-ups all at once. These usually include a grant terms and conditions form, sometimes an interim report, final report, and now i just created a followup for our grantees to electronically share their acknowledgements.
I get an OVERLOAD of questions from our grantees asking why they cant access a report form ( usually they ask after they submit the terms form by before i have had a chance to mark the follow-up complete)
The ackknowledgment follow up is optional and could be submitted at any…

Docusign integration
As a result of COVID19, we have decided to use Docusign to get our Grant Agreements signed and returned to us. I notice other systems have an integration with Docusign. Is this on the radar for Foundant?

Save paging settings ("Showing 1-10") on Workload pages, so it does NOT reset daily
I know you just upgraded the workload pages so the display count can be set to 10, 20...500, etc.
I set it at 500 because I want it to display all. By default it is 10 which is too restrictive. This works for one day, but it resets when I log back in the next day. I don't want to have to do this every day, across multiple workload pages. Can we make it fixed at 500, across ALL my workload pages?

On the Universal Application:
On the Universal Application, a description of each opportunity is provided to the students on the Applicant Opportunities tab. It would be very helpful if these descriptions would also be communicated/shared with the evaluators during their evaluation process.

move new help icon
I appreciate the new help button, but sometimes the big blue question mark balloon is in the way. I'd rather it was up on top with the Compass and Idea Lab, etc. icons.

Candid Demographics/DEI integration
I would like to add the demographics / DEI questions directly from CANDID/Guidestar to the application or or summary. Would love to pull in the questions and answers so they show up in the application, instead of on the charity check. This way we can more easily run a report and track the diversity of our grantees.

Please let people know that if they assign follow up forms, applicants can see this info even if they haven't been notified of their award.
I asked tech support about submitting approvals and denials ahead of sending letters out to applicants. They said that I should go ahead and assign follow up forms after submitting installments. I did this, and now I've had two applicants who haven't been notified about their awards email me asking about the forms and why they haven't received a letter. The reason is b/c the letters haven't gone out. We don't want applicants to know about their awards until the letters have gone out because we don't want them announcing their awards until a later date. This has been rather…

Expand batch options for downloading PDF copies and assigning follow-up forms
Would help quite a lot. Have 200 applications for review and some folks requested PDF copies. Having to download each individually takes a long time.
Also assigning a follow up form for project modification, extensions, etc. Having to send 1 form to 200 people could be sped up if batch options were present for more functions disassociated from email.

Packet File Names include Organization Name and Project Name
When you download a packet, the system defaults to including the Project Name+"Packet".
In my downloaded file backups, I manually add the Organization Names to the beginning of each of these, and the word, "Application."
Please make it so the file name is:

Question Fields: Ability to make Charts/Tables/Grids
It would be a great tool to have in the application, review and reporting stages to have the ability to create tables for grantees to fill out (text fields, not necessarily complex budget tables (But Budget tables would also be appreciated ;) )
Although I understand the background work to make this happen is difficult, I think it would be a very strong and well used feature.

Increase Character Limits for Instruction Questions
The instruction character count is 1000. I think that this should be increased to at least 2000. This is an ideal area to include instructions to the applicant and reviewer and sometimes those instructions are detailed. Limiting the count to 1000 forces the creation of two instruction fields or reducing the number of characters and thus, changing the risking the understanding of the instructions.

Automatically Submit Opportunity Requests With No Visible Questions
After submitting common applications, opportunities with internal visibility opportunity specific questions still must be manually submitted.
