  1. Have comments in Evaluation form be searchable -- so often you remember writing something about a student but not the student name!

  2. Every month, we reconcile our records between Foundant and our accounting software. While this isn't a problem with monetary grants, we find it very difficult to keep track of which payments for in-kind donations of goods have been reconciled each month. Especially since we operate under accrual accounting. We purchase a ton of goods and products for grantees and pantry partners each month.

    It would be really great if there was a way to flag payments as reconciled - especially on the Payment Tracking page. Just like you can add payments to installations, if I could also look at past…

  3. We received a new scholarship fund after the deadline for most of our other funds had passed. I ran the eligibility for this fund and 16 users passed. I wanted to send an email to these users to let them know there was a new application on their dashboard.
    Even though the Passed list didn't include emails, I wanted to Export the list, but the only Batch Option was to run the eligibility again.

    Chat Support suggested using Reporting, but no data is generated unless the user has started an application.
    I have 3 more processes with later deadlines that…

  4. It would be cool to have the option of certain "rules" for form questions.

    For example, if the max dollar amount that an applicant can request for a grant is $2,000 set up a rule for the question that values above $2,000 will get an error message or not permit an applicant to complete that question.

    Right now character limits and instructions are the best way to achieve that, but some applicants still bypass the instructions so a "rule" for a number range limit would be a great addition.

  5. Add a field so that history between the non-profit and the foundation can be recorded for future generations of board members to the foundation. The field would be an internal field to be recorded by the foundation and not viewable by the non-profit. This relationship field could then be pulled into the printed/online proposals as a merge field for educational purposes. For example, we helped start this non-profit back in 1975!

  6. Administrator Comments Viewable to Collaborators
    It would be extremely helpful to have visible to applicant administrator comments in follow up forms also visible to the collaborators who are editing and submitting those forms as well.

  7. I wish syncing were not based on EXACT matches. For example, if an applicant puts Minnesota instead of MN it will NOT sync over. Couldn't a drop box listing states be created for applicants to eliminate this issue?

  9. It would be beneficial to send an email reminder to Third Parties when it is close to the deadline. This would be an additional help to students and to make sure that they have all of the required documents for their application.

  11. Hi there!
    Please add a "select all" checkbox at the bottom of the application display list. There is currently only a "select all" box at the top of the list, but the button with Batch options is at the bottom of the list. So I always end up scrolling all the way down to do a batch operation only to remember that I needed to scroll all the way back up to the top to select all the applications before I scroll all the way back down to do the batch operation.

    I recognize that this is totally #firstworldproblems but…

  12. When syncing grantees from GLM in CSuite, we get an error when an organization spells out their State name in their organizational address instead of using the 2 letter abbreviation required in CSuite. The entries into the State should be limited to 2 characters, or add a note in the field description that indicates that they should use the abbreviation. This would save a lot of time and frustration when processing grants in CSuite.

  13. Applicants who are registering new organizations are almost always applying to a currently open competitive grant program. It would save a lot of time for our due diligence if the Charity Check data was collected at the time the organization record is completed.

    Updating Charity Check information for an organization automatically when an application is submitted would also be helpful in reducing the number of steps to process a grant.

  15. Current state: The budget field for a process only allows for a single value.

    Desired: In the case where a program is funded by multiple sources, it would be great to be able to add each source. In assigning awards, the grants manager would be able to draw from the funds that match up with the request topic area.

    Example: our eight Medical Funds area of interest funds support a different research area or health care for low income children. Each fund has a different donor intent and the funds need to be applied in a way that aligns with…

  16. I just attempted to organize my org's shared documents, but I found out there's no way to move files to a new folder, so I would have to delete and re-upload if I wanted to organize. I think more flexibility, especially moving to folders, would be helpful.

  17. There should a simple beginner's guide to using FOUNDANT.

    Using Google Suite for instance. Customers are the people using the software and it should be user-friendly. We do not work for FOUNDANT it works for us. Customers should not have to create their own SOP's because the program is that complex.

  18. In the reviewer dashboard, put some sort of column heading over the exclamation point to signify that they must click there to access/fill out the form. Many of our reviewers did not watch the provided video tutorial and were only clicking the project link to view only form.

  19. It would be great to be able to upload a copy of the check (or other payment document) at the time of installment payment. Currently, the only area to upload payment copies is in the Documents section on the request.

  20. In both SLM and GLM, this is the same. In setting up a new Manager account for one process, I have to go through EVERY process – ARCHIVED as well as current – in order to remove the new Manager user from each process view. As we archive processes annually and create new, this is VERY tedious to have to exclude all Managers.

    It would be SO much simpler if the default for a new Manager in Assign User would be NO PROCESSES rather than ALL PROCESSES.

    Having to touch every process for one new manager account is exhausting and…
