Greater space between processes on the Apply Page
I would like to see a bigger space between multiple processes that are open on the "Apply" page. Currently, there is a tiny space between each process' "box", and our applicants frequently click the first blue "Apply" button they see.... which is often for the process below the one for which they actually want to apply. We have instructions saying to click the button at the top-right of the box but we all know people don't read well. If there was greater differentiation between the list of open grants then applicants may scroll back up to the correct Apply button.

Applicant dashboard improvement
It would be helpful to add the grant number and dollar amount to the applicant dashboard. Some organizations have multiple grants with similar descriptions. Being able to reference the grant number will minimize confusion for us and them.

Pending Deadlines
It would be very helpful if, on the applicant side of the dashboard, that urgent items/impending due dates could be big/red/or listed at the top of each process.
We consistently run into grantees not being able to find their final grant report/follow up forms that are due on their dashboard because it's listed at the bottom and not called to attention in any real way.Also, many grantees never see the edit button to the far right because there's a large white space after the text, so they assume there's no more information and don't realize that the full page…

remove opportunities
We utilize the universe for the majority of our scholarship applications. We have an issue with scholarships that don't receive any applications and then have to build a stand-alone process to extend the deadline for those scholarships. It typically happens in the first year of a new scholarship. It would be nice if we could extend the deadline for specific opportunities. Also being able to delete or turn off an opportunity would be a great option.

Track Scholarships in a UA that have 0 applicants
We have a large UA with over 140 processes, some of those processes require a very specific type of student. We would like to be able to easily track which scholarships in our UA have 0 applicants at any moment. This way, we can reach out to school counselors, coaches and do targeting marketing for those scholarships. I am able to run a report showing which scholarships HAVE applicants, but of course that doesn't show the scholarships that may be falling through the cracks with no applicants. Thanks!

Applicant count
I like to check and see how many applicants are currently active for a scholarship application. I go to users and the only way I see to find that number is to scroll down to the bottom of the page after doing a search for active applicants. Am I missing something? Can you put that count at the top of the list? Or on the dashboard?

You should be able to see this stat now from the metrics dashboard - Unique Applicants. If this is not the data you are looking for please follow up!

Instructions on Apply Page
On both our public and active apply pages, applicants have significant issues figuring out how to actually apply (a lot of times they try to send the application to Grant Hub when they don't have a Grant Hub account) and get frustrated. It would help us to have an administrator-editable instruction field at the top of both of these pages so that we can leave a message.
For example, on the public apply page "You can only preview the application questions from this page. Click the blue button in the top right corner to create an account or log in…

merge organization primary contact view history
There are a lot of staffing changes for organizations. Is there a way to allow the primary contact for an organization to see all request history for that organization regardless of who submitted the application? We get this question a lot when Directors / org leaders change. Right now, I just have to modify the user account for the old employee with the new employee contact info, but then we lose the history.

Dashboard Tab for "Pending" status
Add a Dashboard Tab for "Pending" Applications. When you open scholarships in draft, submitted, or complete, would be nice to have a batch option (and folder tab) for scholarships that are in a "pending" status.
Scholarships qualify for pending if they are awaiting a student update, such as an updated document request or application question clarification, etc. Since these applications are not yet marked as complete, they must sit in the submitted bucket and thus cluttering the list.
This also makes it difficult to keep organized. Would be nice to drop those into a "pending" tab folder for ease of…

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.

GLM/Foundant Accessibility for People Using Screen Readers
We received some good feedback from an applicant: "Due to a small staff and the Director's use of screen reader technology, web forms are often inaccessible and paperwork is very slow-moving. The Opportunity Fund's application and website is more navigable than other foundations but still required many hours of oversight and coordination to receive assistance from board members and staff throughout the process."
I would love to know how/if Foundant is working toward making sure it's products are incorporating web accessibility principles so that a person using screen reader technology could apply for a grant and take care of other…

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…
