  1. When creating a document and when viewing the Merge Docs on the communications page, they are not sortable. I wish the list was alphabetized, or sortable. Right now we have to scroll through dozens of templates.

  2. Create a "group by student" button similar to the one for evaluators that allows administrators to group by student in the dashboard buckets.

  3. New applicants should have the ability to copy applications from previous users. As of right now, new applicants/users can see the history but have to completely reapply instead of copying previous information over. Nonprofits will not always have the same person applying for funds year after year and if a new user is assigned as an applicant to an organization/nonprofit, they should have the same abilities as those before them.

  4. Resurrecting a request from another user that was archived.

    We would like our applicants to be able to upload relevant documentation to their accounts and also processes, such as invoices, voided checks, to ensure that their successors have all information on any awards that they may need in the future.

    Original request submission:
    We keep insurance certificates and audits on file for our applicants (who submit multiple applications per year). We don't want them to have to upload these key documents over and over again to every single application or followup that they submit.
    I would like there to be…

  5. I need to be able to pull a report that shows when my VP signs Grant Agreements. Also, could be useful for security--knowing who is logged in, how long they are logged in, and what actions they took.

  6. I see a number of ideas previously posted in the IdeaLab back to 2015 that ask for this, but all seem to have been closed out. It would be great in the Payment Tracking tab to be able to search and sort by the date the payment is actually made, rather than the installment due date. If we have a payment due January 1 and then pay it in December, for example, it's quite a process to do reconciling later because the due date and payment date are in different years. I know we can find this field when exporting…

  7. During the registration process, it would be very helpful if the address had an autocomplete option similar to how many online retailers do these days.

    When filling in the address 1 line, the system would automatically start showing the full street address based on what the applicant has input so far. Then, they'd be able to select their address from the drop-down list and this would automatically populate the remaining address fields on the registration form.

    This is a common practice with online retailers today and would be incredibly helpful in GLM/SLM as many applicants don't correctly input their address…

  8. Add the ability to add an auto-email template so users can be notified when a document is added to the documents tab. Especially if applicant facing.

  9. Users may find it helpful if Foundant updated the language on the applicant-facing pop-up that notifies users of existing request drafts. Currently, the pop-up provides link to the existing draft(s) and two buttons: Apply and Cancel, which does not seem to be intuitive for navigating to an existing draft.

    To reduce confusion, would it be possible to change the Apply button text to Start New Draft. This updated language would clearly indicate that selecting this option will create a new draft rather than continuing with an existing one.

    This change should improve the user experience by making the navigation options…

  10. Ability to individually close an Evaluation stage, when you are using both Evaluation stages. For example, Evaluation 1 is to be completed, and "locked down" so the Evaluator cannot change their answers when they are completing Evaluation 2. This impacts the "integrity" of the review.

  11. In order to facilitate the archival of correspondance linked to an organization or a request, we try to always send e-mails directrly from Foundant (using the "Send (no template)" option.

    However, the responses come to our Outlook inbox and we have to save them somewhere in order to upload them in the Document section of the organization or request. It takes time and it does not allow us to view all correspondance in one place (e-mail history).

    There is a lot of back and forth with applicants and grantees, so that would be very useful!

    We are continuing to understand the  needs and workflows for emails that need to come back into the system. 


    What providers are people using? 

    Are there emails other than responses to system messages that need to live in the system? 

    If an email was sent in relation to a request, example for submitted, where would you want to view that email from? 


    Any thoughts are very helpful

  12. We need something to entertain us while waiting on save bar progress.

  13. It would be very helpful to have a custom Notes or Comments column available that admins can write directly in on the dashboard, especially since pinned comments are not currently an option in SLM.

    Use case: 1 universal application submitted turns into 5 scholarship applications, so 500 UA submissions could lead to 2500 applications in submitted. I as an admin then go in by student and vet their applications before marking them complete. If there are notes I want to make for that specific scholarship application, there is currently not a way to do that in the application that are…

  15. TLDR: I'd like to be able to reuse a snippet of a form on another form, perhaps from a library of snippets.

    Let's say in 2023 I built one great form and copied it 20 times so that all my forms built in 2023 used the best practice of sharing their fields (variables). Now in 2024 I have a new group of fields - budget or demographic fields that I need to add.

    After developing a fancy new table on one application form, the admin should be able to save it to a library of snippets and then it should…

  18. When viewing merge documents in the Documents tab of a request, I'd like to be able to view the document (like the Document Viewer in applications and follow up forms) rather than having to download it.

  19. Here is a common scenario. An org is fiscally sponsored by a church and then gets their own 501c3 status and changes their name. In foundant, we would update the org name to say (formerly XYZ Church). When evaluators see the church name - they often ask whether services are limited to members of that church even when the org has nothing to do with the church (e.g., a food bank). To remove any confusion for evaluators - I tried adding the church name to the Sort Name, but when I tried to do a search for the church -…

  20. I wish i could use merge fields when building grant agreement forms. I have a paragraph called RECITALS that has project specific information in it. I wish I could use merge fields in the instructions questions....

    This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), indicates an agreement to assist in the implementation of <<Project Name >>(“Project”), a Community Benefit Grant in the Texas Health Community Impact (THCI) <<Region Name>> Region, targeting <<Target Population>> in <<Denton-Wise ZIP Codes>> ZIP Codes. This MOU is between «Organization_Name» (“Grantee”) and Texas Health Resources (“Texas Health”).
