Applicant Contact Management Permissions
Organizations and applicants should have the power to manage their contact list including- adding contacts, deactivating contacts (a login should reactivate just in case), editing contact information, etc. They should have the ability to do this so they can keep their profiles and contacts up to date. It would also be great for them to have the ability to reassign applications and follow-ups as there are many staff transitions and changes that we end up needing to work with them on changing rather than them being able to make the necessary changes on their own.
9 votesIn our August 2024 release, we introduced the ability of applicants to manage their own organization contacts.

If you have additional feedback on the functionality, please create a new idea lab item.

Dashboard tab colors
It would be great to have a feature where we could change the color of tabs on the applicant dashboard. We get many calls from applicants who are having difficulty navigating their dashboard and breaking up the dashboard with different colors would likely help with this.

Objectives reporting: pre-populate intended outcomes into follow up reports
We'd like to see the pre-population of stated outcomes listed on the interim and final reports so that the grantee (and the grantmaker) can see what the intentions of the grant were versus what the actual outcomes were. It is time consuming to review grants and have to look through the application and pull out the intended outcomes only to have to do the same for the follow up reports, then have to create a chart or other document that shows the information side by side. It will also help grantmaking staff understand the history of a grant if there…

Follow Up Automated Email
It would be really helpful if we had the option for automated emails to be sent to the Administrators 1 day after a follow up is do, rather than just the Assignee. It would make for keeping track of follow ups so much easier, especially when you have a lot grantees on different follow up schedules.

apply buttons
That appear beside the scholarships that are available to apply for, once a student has applied and submitted, can that button change colors, or fade out so applicants know they have already done a particular application?

Grant committee view follow ups
I would like the Grant evaluators to be able to see the final report follow up. But I don't need them to do anything with it - just have access to view the information.

Batch Print
I would love an option to batch print every application in each process. Currently I need to go in to each application and open the PDF to print. Would be nice to be able to select all and print.
117 votesHi All,
As of today, May 4th 2022, we released our first version of batch print/download
There are two ways to use this functionality:
1. From applicant facing forms work load pages (LOI, Applications, and Follow Ups) you will now have the option to Batch Print the print packet.
2. From request & decisions you can now create PDFs of the documents in a single large doc or into a zipped file.
To learn more about this functionality go to support hub and search "Print" or "Download"
If you have additional thoughts on how to improve this functionality please create a new idea lab item or reach out to me directly.

Scholarships: Email template event type
It would be great to have an event type of reminder to applicant for incomplete applications similar to Third Party Reminder
5 votesWith our February 2024 release you can created automated emails for applications in draft.

It would be great if there was a way for administrators to toggle between viewing as admin to viewing as an applicant and as an evaluator.
Currently, we have had to create test accounts as an applicant and as an evaluator and then have to sign in and out of each one to test how I processes will look and work.

"Back to Top" and "Bottom" Buttons!
I spend a lot of time scrolling to the bottom or back up to the top when reviewing applications, and a top and bottom button would be very helpful. Thank you!

Printing a Hard Copy of the Application - Made Easy
My un-tech savvy applicants can't remember how to print a hard-copy of their application. I think if you hover on "Application Package" or "Question List" it should say "Print here"!!!
There may be other options that solve this problem as well.6 votesWith our December 2024 release, we’ve rolled out exciting improvements to enhance every step of the applicant journey.

Automatic Reminder Emails for Follow-up Reports and Applications
I would also love to be able to customize the 14 day submission reminder, or at least add another reminder 2 or 3 days prior to due date. And it would be fantastic if I could also do this with applications as well as follow-up forms.

Ability to customize grant print packet
It would be great if you could "customize" what pieces of the grant packets you could include in one PDF instead of only being able to create a separate PDF of the Application, Decision Form, Follow Up Form and never being able to include any of the uploaded documents in the "Documents" tab. It would be helpful to have a "Print" option that allows you to pick and choose all of the "printable" pieces for a single grant in one pdf.
An example, our auditors wanted to see the Application, Decision Form and Follow Up Forms (some grants had up…

Make the "Edit" on the Follow up Reports Bigger, Bolder or more obvious. Grantees can't see it!
Grantees are frequently asking where do they enter their follow up reports. It's just not obvious on their Dashboard.
92 votesHi Everyone!
As of our Nov 2023 the Edit links for Follow Ups have been replaced with Buttons.
The button with say, START, CONTINUE, VIEW or PREVIEW depending on the status up the follow up. We hope this is more clear and easier for applicants to find.
If you have additional feedback be ask that you add that to a new idea!

Add a logo to authenticate screen
The authenticate screen has caused a few of our grantees issue. Primarily, the screen is so generic that you are unable to tell what funder you are authenticating into. In Montana, many of our grantees have other funders using Foundant and if the authenticate screen comes up they aren't able to tell what funder they are authenticating into, resulting in frustration. This morning, I had an individual who wasn't able to log in to our site on the authenticate screen using her username and password, and it turns out it was the authenticate screen for a different funder she was…

Scholarships
:) Hiding scholarship applicants name, address etc (from committees) would wonderful to make our system better and to make sure that we are doing our level best with 2 items: 1: protect the students that are applying. 2: minimizing the potential for bias and conflict of interests... we are in a small community where names can be too familiar or unfamiliar or sound different. Flexibility in sharing names and info would be great.

Deciphering Tabs between GLM & SLM Programs
Since the GLM portal is used for the SLM, deciphering between the two tabs on top for each programs when both are open can become cumbersome. Since they say the same title on the tab, it would be nice to have a different color icon - blue for Scholarship & green for Grants. At times I have 10 tabs open and I find myself searching and clicking more then once to verify I'm using the correct program.
The main concern is acknowledging each program on the tabs for convenience and quick access. Time is precisous. Thank you.

Administrator Notification when New Accounts are Created
We have just launched our GLM site and asked our grantees to register in the system. I wish there was a way for the administrators to be notified when a new organization creates a new account in our system. I can see the benefits of this for our invitation-only foundation, but even more so with other foundations so they can learn who is interested in their foundation to help foster new relationships.
