  1. I wish i had a way to confirm existing vendor ids that are hand entered. If my grant managers make a mistake here, the wrong people get paid.

    I looked at using a branching question. But there is no way to see if the answer to Q1 matches the answer to Q2...

    In my form it's set up as:

    Does your school have an existing THR Vendor ID? (Y/N)

    Branch Group: Yes

    Enter school's THR vendor ID: __________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)
    Confirm school's THR vendor ID: _________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)

    I want the next section to…

  2. It would be a nice option to have the ability to archive merge templates in the system like the emails.

  3. Returned Checks. When a check is returned due to insufficient funds, etc. it would be great if there is a feature that allows the original bank deposit to show the original amount of the deposit but allows an individual check to be returned so that the transaction matches what happens on your bank statement. Also, when these transactions cross months, the reconciliation isn't as straightforward.

  4. We would greatly appreciate a revamp of the new user registration. Currently, we have a lot of new users at existing organizations in our system creating duplicate organization accounts because of the way the registration ties organizations and users together. We need a way for a new user to be able to register themselves, and then either select their organization and be approved by an admin, or allow an administrator to send a quick invite link to the new user where the organization is already selected for them.

    This would cut down on the amount of time internal staff spend…

  5. 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

  6. The income statement for CAMPAIGNS should include all the expenses - including credit card processing fees. We need a full view of the financials for each campaign. Thank you!

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. Would it be possible to add a drop down for students wheen filling out personal information. ie Mr., Ms. and that when a student types street or St. it would auto change to Street? this would save us so much time in making corrections.

  10. 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 could be a merge field in email templates.

  12. 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…

  14. 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…

  15. I'd like to be able to customize the Third Party Dashboard columns to indicate if the request is a transcript, a letter of recommendation, or something else. Currently, the requestee has to click on each request or remember each email to know what is waiting for them. It may be helpful to have a descriptor column of the nature of the request.

  17. 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”).

  18. Someone else requested it, but it was archived, so I would like to bring back into consideration third party reminders based on a due date (the application due date, if not a separate third party due date), instead of the date when the third party response was requested. Our application process opens several months before the application due date, and some requests are made right away. Not only will those recommenders forget by the actual due date, but it has historically seriously annoyed our recommenders to receive a reminder before the actual due date. We love having an automatic reminder,…

  19. Currently we have our Board Books stored in the shared documents tab of Foundant. Each Board Book folder has multiple sub files. Each subfile can be downloaded, but it would be nice to be able to download the entire folder which would include all the files.

  20. Howdy! We are trying to increase our usage of electronic payments for grantees and are updating tens and hundreds of profiles at a time.

    As it stands now, updating ACH settings in CSuite require two separate bulk updates - one for ACH settings to add account and routing number, and the second for changing the default payment type. That means culling two reports to 'match' the profiles ID (which is the most labor intensive part of the process).
