  1. SLM Committee Overhaul

    We would like to see an overhaul of the SLM Committee features. It would be great if we could see the email address associated with the committee members within each committee, drill into each user directly, and have some type of drill in from the Universe or vice versa.

  2. Organization Saved Searches

    On the organization search page, could there be a section at the bottom with recent searches, or perhaps your own personalized list of organizations you want to keep handy?

  3. More detailed budget planning tool, including a provisional budget option

    I would love to have access to a dynamic budget planning tool, that allow me to have a global budget for my fiscal year, with various funding streams options AND with a provisional budget option that would take into account the proposed amount we enter in yet-to-be approved requests.

    For the time being, I use an Excel file to achieve this, which is time consuming and error-prone. This option would save so much time!

  4. EIN Population in Merge Template

    Hello! It would be really useful for us to have the EIN / Tax ID data box as a merge field for merge templates. We want to add an organization's EIN to our Invoice merge template for verification purposes and were surprised it wasn't already an available merge field.

  5. pdf with no comments

    We use the Administrator Comments feature to provide draft review feedback to our applicants. Many applicants use the comments, then want us to remove them so that they can create a clean PDF of their completed application. We don't want to delete our comments as that is part of the grant process record, but we also don't want reviewers to be able to see the comments. Right now, our only option is to make all the comments not visible to applicants, proxy as the applicant, download the PDF, then make all the comments visible to the applicant again. This is…

  6. scholarship deadline

    In the Process Manager, I would like to see a button or indication that a scholarship deadline has passed.

    Also, being able to filter scholarships in the process manager would be helpful. This could include filtering by process name, start date, and end date.

  7. Suppressing Applicant Name / Project Field in Evaluation

    We have 20+ scholarships that want applicant names suppressed from applications in the evaluation process. We have always had the student fill out the "Project Name" field with their name. This year, we had everything setup to suppress applicant details from the evaluators, but did not realize that the "Project Name" cannot be suppressed. We had to manually go in and change every student's name to a code in the Project Name field.

    Short of instructing students in the future to not use their name as the project name field, is there any chance the Project Name field could also…

  8. Organization Merge History

    From what I can tell, there is no way to indicate if a request is from an organization that was merged into another organization or if it was originally from the final organization. Currently, for applicant funding history (which we provide in a Merge Document) to our grant reviewers, we have to manually go through each request and figure out which was for Org A and which was for Org B. If our current staff ever leave, this knowledge will be lost or buried in the Comments tab. Is there a simple way to see this?

  9. installment

    'Installment' should be a field option that can auto-populate in GLM - email templates. We fund multi-year grants and it would be helpful to include both the total amount awarded as well as the installment amount.

  10. "Click to Drill In" on Amount Awarded on the Dashboard

    It would be wonderful if there was a "click to drill in" ability for amount awarded on the dashboard.

  11. Show Decision Status

    Instead of a site-wide setting of showing the decision status and follow-up forms "x" days after the decision is made, it would be helpful to be able to set a particular DAY the decisions will be visible. This would allow us to approve and assign forms over a span of the scholarship cycle but NOT alert the student until a particular day. We would be able to better communicate with students, and high schools, on when awards will be announced. (Example, I could do the administrative work on our end from April 10th thru 28th, but all notifications and forms…

  12. due date application and third party

    Would love to have the ability to set a separate due date for third-party responses. For example, student application is due March 15th and the system closes, but third-party due date is March 22nd then automatically closes.

  13. Improve navigation

    Would love to see a shortcut for going between work pages. For example, if I'm on Follow Ups Draft, and I want to go to LOI drafts, or applications evaluation assigned, I have to click the home button to get back to my dashboard, then into the next work page. If there was a dropdown in the navigation bar (perhaps only for administrators?) "Go To...) then a list of pages, we could go directly without bouncing back and forth across the dashboard. Not critical, but (especially on days when the site is running slowly) that extra step really adds up…

  14. Integrate bill pay to payment tracking

    We would love to be able to integrate our bill pay system with GLM so it will automatically update who we have paid after a check run.

  15. Landscape Orientation for PDFs of Evaluation Forms

    In our evaluation forms, we stick rubric tables inside the instruction sections of each question. It displays perfectly online, but when the evaluation forms are converted to PDF, the rubrics spill beyond the page.

    Could you please add an option to generate PDFs in landscape orientation? Or tweak your PDF builder to scale / wrap instructions to fit inside the page?

    Thanks.

  16. Change Check # to Payment # in Installments

    Since COVID, most foundations have moved away from paper checks to ACH payments. It would be helpful to change the name of the field in Installments/Make a Payment from Check Number to Payment Number.

  17. Email Confirmation

    It would be nice to have the ability to change the email confirmation sent to a new user. We find most applicants select "Continue without checking" resulting in emails sent through Foundant ending up in their spam folder.

  18. Change font color for SLM

    Once the student hits submit on the UA, is there a way to change the font color of those opportunities that have additional information pending. Currently everything is black or blue, would like to change the "EDIT APPLICATION" to RED to catch the students eye.

  19. Changing American spelling for Australian clients for Organization and Recognized

    Changing American spelling for Australian clients for Organization and Recognized. (S instead of Z) Currently this is on the payment page for a donation but I am sure there are other spellings throughout the platform and GLM. For our Australian clients/donors it looks like we have spelt it wrong.

  20. Opportunities within a UA process updated after evaluation concluded

    Can the number of students that are eligible for our active opportunities within a UA process, be updated once the first evaluation is determined? We had 223 students eligible for one of our opportunities, but then once they were evaluated they were no longer eligible, but that number in opportunities did not change.
