  2. Public Fund Name

    I have noticed in multiple template field lists that the use of the Fund Public Name is not an available option. To not have the Public Name available for all templates that have the Fund Name option defeats the purpose of the Public Name. It would be nice if the Public name was the default name used on templates or at least an option on all templates.

  3. Implement a "foldering" system for processes, forms, and email templates

    As a high volume organization with many departments deploying grants, the internal user interface is increasingly becoming unwieldy and unorganized. It might be helpful to implement a "foldering" system so different departments/teams can better organize processes, forms, and email templates which look different for each team.

  4. Nonprofit Directory Visual Experience

    Currently, when viewing listings in the Nonprofit Directory by category, there is a large blank space on the left hand side of each listing where it appears the uploaded logo of the organization should go (see attached image).

    I have been told by Foundant that this is not a bug, so they will not fix it as such. Visually, it is very out of place and looks clearly designed for the organization logo especially given that this space is occupied by logos for fund listings.

    I would like to suggest that this space be utilized for the organization logo in…

  5. I'd love to be able to copy a question or set of questions

    Sometimes I need to create a set of the same question multiple times within the same process/application. For instance, I might need an option to add an address for a second parent/guardian and I don't want to have to create all the address fields again. I'd rather just duplicate the previous group and edit the heading.

    A similar solution might be to create a question bank of all fields that have been created within the instance and then be able to select any I'd like to add.

  6. Spelling/Grammar Check Tool in SLM Scholarship Applications

    It would be helpful for SLM to include a spelling/grammar check tool within the scholarship applications for students to use when writing their essays or short answer responses. I know that some internet browsers have a spell check included, but it might be helpful from the student side to have a more comprehensive tool to help with spelling, grammar, etc. as they write their responses.

  7. Hide Personal Contact Info of Applicants from Evaluators

    In light of increasing concerns around student privacy, we would like to be able to show student names to evaluators but not all of their personal contact information (mailing address, email address, phone, etc.).While we do not use a blind review process, it does not feel appropriate to share such sensitive contact details with the large number of volunteers and potential donors involved in the review process.

  8. GLM: Block new application if grant report isn't complete

    Block new application from applicant who hasn't completed a grant report on a previous grant award. This would encourage applicants to complete their grant report and provide another level of due diligence built into GLM

  9. Add Submit Button for Administrators to allow admins to submit follow ups rather than proxying as the applicant .

    Add Submit Button for Administrators to allow admins to submit follow ups rather than proxying as the applicant. When you stop proxying, the system throws you completely out of the application to the dashboard. You can place it next to the Email Applicant and Edit Deadline Buttons at the bottom of the follow up page. I get many follow ups from smaller organizations where the tech level is low via email so I have to scan and upload. Then I have to proxy as the user and it is a cumbersome process to have to search for the organization again,…

  10. Radio Question Type - Other

    It would be great if we could have 'other' as an option for a radio question that gives you (the builder) the choice to automatically produce a text box for applicants to input data around their selection. Currently you have to build 'other' into the question and then build a branched question group, which can not only get messy, but can make the application flow feel very disjointed, depending on the build.

  11. Custom Content on New Applicant Dashboard

    Please add the custom content back to the new and improved applicant dashboard. On the old dashboard, we included instructions on filling out the application, contact information for our Foundation, and links to trainings. This is not currently possible with the updated version of the applicant dashboard.

  12. Easier report user interface

    Running reports is too complicating. It would be great to have an easier user interface for running reports / saving reports / even automatically emailing reports on a pre-set frequency.

    Have a standard batch of already created reports for the most commonly run reports where you can easily adjust a few parameters/filters like process, date range, funding category, etc..

    But also keep the ability to customize a report if a standard report does not give you the information you require.

  13. Third Party Entry - Include Applicant Name

    It would be helpful to have the applicant's name appear on the third-party response form. Currently, it shows the applicant's name on the dashboard, but when the third party clicks on Start to submit the information it only shows the "process" or "award" name. Having the student's name appear at the top of the form would help responders keep track of the student they are working on.

    Some of our third parties complete a LOT of responses and I've heard from many of them that this would be really helpful.

  14. Allow "Other: _____" Text option at the end of Checkbox questions

    Every other form builder application allows you to add an "Other: _____" text box at the end of Checkbox questions. It's a simple way to catch exceptions that you're not thinking of.

  16. Login Log for GLM

    As it stands right now, the login record in GLM just shows the last time a user logged in and that includes someone proxying into their record. It would be nice to be able to see a detailed list like we are able to in CSuite.

  17. Abandon Follow Up

    Abandon Follow Ups

    It would be helpful to have the option to Abandon a Follow Up form. Right now, that is not an option and the only way to remove the Follow Up from the dashboard is to Delete it.

    Our foundation assigned a Follow Up form for a survey after our giving day. The survey Follow Up is not required, so we are not chasing down nonprofits to complete the survey once we got past the due date. However, we now have a number of those incomplete Follow Ups on the dashboard, which I will have to Delete. The…

  18. Allow Multiple Files to be Uploaded to a Single File Upload Question

    Please allow for the ability to upload multiple files to a single upload question.

    Currently, it is only possible to upload one file per question. It would be very helpful and much more effective if the File Upload question type allowed for multiple files to be uploaded to a single upload question, as opposed to needing one file upload question for each upload.

    Alternatively, the option to upload a folder to a file upload question would be another possible remedy.

  19. outlook intregration

    Given the way technology has grown over the years, is there a way to integrate Outlook email with Foundant email so that when an email is received, it will automatically show up in Outlook, and when we respond to an email, it will show up in the appropriate applicant file in Foundant?

  20. Timing of Automated Emails

    This idea was posted back in 2019 and had 20+ upvotes. Our grantees receive their automatic email reminders for forms in the middle of the night - about 3am CST! Support says that emails begin sending automatically at 2am, and continue until they have all been sent. There needs to be an option to adjust this. Nonprofit employees shouldn't worry about their phones pinging in the middle of the night. "Hey, it's us! Just popping into your bedroom to remind you that your follow up form is due tomorrow!" LOL
