  1. It would be great to be able to set up an email alert to internal staff when an application is approved or when an installment is coming due. If you have one off grants that aren't part of a cycle, it's otherwise very manual to let our finance team know it's time to process payment.

  2. It would be great if profile images could be included in reports. It would be helpful for our philanthropy team to create pictoral directories of the donors they manage.

  3. It would be great to be given the control to determine when our organization sends automatic emails. I would like to send automatic emails when we deny a request and even approve a request but as a Foundant user I am restricted. Denial emails are possibly the biggest concern because you have to navigate in this backhanded way to even be able to send a bulk denial email. Once you deny a request it no longer shows up on your dashboard so it is out of sight, out of mind, and you are relying on an understaffed organization to remember…

  4. Bulk Edit Admin Fee Types by SubGroup - It would be nice to be able to do this, as the functionality already exists for other types of groups, etc. But it is not possible to do this by subgroup (i.e. all nonendowed funds at the same time).

  5. Since the DocuSign pdf is attached to each record is there a report that has which grantees has submitted their DocuSign doc and which ones are still missing would be great. I currently do this manually and it take a lot of time.

  6. I am training a colleague on entering grants into Foundant. Unfortunately, we're unable to remove a follow up form from a process once it has been used. And we're unable to remove the popup message for the follow up. So, while training I have to say "Oh just ignore that, we don't use it", which makes training clunky. Please give us the option to remove a follow up form (or at least the popup) we don't use.

  7. Bring back the option to learn in the SLM Sandbox in a systematic way that builds skills from zero to full knowledge of the Foundant SLM.

    The new system - while beautiful - is just random by topic, and unable to walk a person with no experience through the process of learning how to use SLM efficiently.

  8. My Problem: What about a student who doesn't complete two follow-ups but is still active, then graduates? Where do I put them now if I don't want to delete any follow-ups?

    Foundant: Then you'll have to mark the follow ups as complete. Or you can download the follow ups and attach on their request record under document tab, and then delete their follow ups.

    Wishing there was a button for something like this, since the student technically shouldn't be closed or abandoned.

  10. Implementing an automated email or system notification to the primary user in CSuite when grants are synced or approved from GLM would greatly reduce the risk of grants being overlooked and significantly improve workflow efficiency.

    As the Grants Manager, I work primarily in GLM, while our CFO manages CSuite. We often rely on lengthy email threads to track grant requests and approvals, which makes it easy for information to get lost. There have been several instances where approved grants were missed and not paid out on time simply because the approval was buried in email communications.

    After searching the Foundant…

  11. IT would be nice to have the option to select the comparative date in the balance sheet comparative presentation instead of only having the listed options (year over year, month over month). For instance, I would like to compare my current balance sheet to the prior year end, and then be able to prepare a cash flow that ties into it for the YTD. In that way, I can have a complete set of financial statements (balance sheet, income statement and cash flow) that all relate to each other for the same time period.

  12. It would be nice to abandon/close an application when you're in it. Having to exit back out into the request tab and count which one you were in is confusing. The only way to be sure I'm abandoning the correct application is to open it but the option to abandon/close is only on the request summary view. I added images for better clarification

  13. Copy Third Party Letter of Recommendation Form:

    We use the Third Party Form capability with a list of questions for Counselors, Teachers, Coaches, etc. with a long list of questions but have to create from scratch for each new audience

  14. Add more characters to CC within email templates- Currently only 200 characters is about 5 addresses. We need to email at least 12 addresses in the CC field and be able to add more addresses to the to field.

  15. With the New Applicant Dashboard feature, we would love to be able to manually change the status of a request on the Request Panel to Action Needed, even if there is no assigned follow-up form associated with the request. Sometimes, we have applicants that submit requests, and we do a first round due diligence check that requires follow-up on the back end via email with no official form, but action may still needed from the applicant. Under the New Applicant Dashboard feature, these requests would fall under the No Action column even though action is needed, there is just no…

  17. If a grant recipient has not completed required reporting within a specified timeframe AND has been unresponsive to outreach attempts, it would be ideal to have the option to mark the report(s) as incomplete/unresponsive. That creates a marker for future grant considerations

  18. Currently in single/multiple file upload fields: it is only possible to dowload the files that have been uploaded. The idea would be to have the possibility to only view/preview the file without downloading it.

  19. This one has been previously archived, but when we get the summary of an organization, we really really would like to see the amount they requested, even if their grant was denied. This is one area where Blackbaud allowed us more functionality than Foundant.

    Along the same lines, when you look at org request history, it would be nice if it showed amount requested in the summary at a glance.

  20. We have had some notes that when in the "grants" subsection of the "Grant Details" tab of the donor portal, the grants do not maintain the same order after using the "copy" function. So, if a donor just wants to run through and copy all the grants they made in 2023 for 2024, it makes it difficult to go through and copy the donees in order
