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…

SLM - Listing of Evaluation Committees and Members.
In SLM it would be nice to pull a report or print from screen a list of all the evaluation committees and the members on each committee.

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…

Docusign integration
As a result of COVID19, we have decided to use Docusign to get our Grant Agreements signed and returned to us. I notice other systems have an integration with Docusign. Is this on the radar for Foundant?

Save paging settings ("Showing 1-10") on Workload pages, so it does NOT reset daily
I know you just upgraded the workload pages so the display count can be set to 10, 20...500, etc.
I set it at 500 because I want it to display all. By default it is 10 which is too restrictive. This works for one day, but it resets when I log back in the next day. I don't want to have to do this every day, across multiple workload pages. Can we make it fixed at 500, across ALL my workload pages?

On the Universal Application:
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 would also be communicated/shared with the evaluators during their evaluation process.

move new help icon
I appreciate the new help button, but sometimes the big blue question mark balloon is in the way. I'd rather it was up on top with the Compass and Idea Lab, etc. icons.

Candid Demographics/DEI integration
I would like to add the demographics / DEI questions directly from CANDID/Guidestar to the application or or summary. Would love to pull in the questions and answers so they show up in the application, instead of on the charity check. This way we can more easily run a report and track the diversity of our grantees.

Please let people know that if they assign follow up forms, applicants can see this info even if they haven't been notified of their award.
I asked tech support about submitting approvals and denials ahead of sending letters out to applicants. They said that I should go ahead and assign follow up forms after submitting installments. I did this, and now I've had two applicants who haven't been notified about their awards email me asking about the forms and why they haven't received a letter. The reason is b/c the letters haven't gone out. We don't want applicants to know about their awards until the letters have gone out because we don't want them announcing their awards until a later date. This has been rather…

Expand batch options for downloading PDF copies and assigning follow-up forms
Would help quite a lot. Have 200 applications for review and some folks requested PDF copies. Having to download each individually takes a long time.
Also assigning a follow up form for project modification, extensions, etc. Having to send 1 form to 200 people could be sped up if batch options were present for more functions disassociated from email.

Packet File Names include Organization Name and Project Name
When you download a packet, the system defaults to including the Project Name+"Packet".
In my downloaded file backups, I manually add the Organization Names to the beginning of each of these, and the word, "Application."
Please make it so the file name is:

Question Fields: Ability to make Charts/Tables/Grids
It would be a great tool to have in the application, review and reporting stages to have the ability to create tables for grantees to fill out (text fields, not necessarily complex budget tables (But Budget tables would also be appreciated ;) )
Although I understand the background work to make this happen is difficult, I think it would be a very strong and well used feature.

Increase Character Limits for Instruction Questions
The instruction character count is 1000. I think that this should be increased to at least 2000. This is an ideal area to include instructions to the applicant and reviewer and sometimes those instructions are detailed. Limiting the count to 1000 forces the creation of two instruction fields or reducing the number of characters and thus, changing the risking the understanding of the instructions.

Change Color of Administrator Comments
It would be really helpful if the color of Administrator Comments could be changed from grey. I know it changes to blue when you make it visible to an Applicant, which makes it so much easier to see. But the Admin Comment stays grey and I find myself skipping over comments because they do not stick out.
24 votesHi All,
We recently changed the look and feel of admin comments. We hope these have made them stand out more. Please feel free to follow up if you have feedback on this change.
