Collaborator Permissions
Applicants love the collaborator feature, but they are confused with "Can view, Can edit or Can submit" because they do not understand the permissions are additive. Would it be possible to change these to "Can view", "Can edit" and "Can edit and submit"? Even an explanatory pop-up would be helpful.
Would also like an additional checkbox "Allow to invite other collaborators" or such. My applicants are asking for this. Either that or include it as part of the Submit permission.
I know that this was submitted in the past, I am suggesting it again.

Ineligible organization
We have recently had an issue with some partners not submitting reporting(like over a year overdue) and then cutting off all communication with us. Per our grant making policy this makes the organization ineligible for funding until the previous grant contract is fulfilled(meaning we get some type of report or account of grant monies.) We are looking at the idea of seeing if it was something that could be implemented to have a box or button that is able to be clicked on(toggle on and off so once they come back into good standing that goes away) an admin side…

Batch follow ups to Org primary contact
Add functionality to chose who the follow up is assigned to when batching them. Currently, it goes to the applicant account. I’d like it to go to the organization’s primary contact, then they can add contributors. Applicants are often grant writers or development directors with higher rates of turnover than Executive Directors. Some orgs have overdue follow ups simply due to staff turnover.

Fiscal Year Customization for Reporting
The addition of a feature or setting that allows us to set and save our foundation's fiscal year within the company information settings. Specifically, the ability to define our fiscal year as starting on December 1 and ending on November 30. This adjustment would ensure that all reporting tools and templates automatically align with our fiscal year, streamlining our workflow and improving the accuracy of our reports.

Login Instructions auto-email
Why does the system 'Login Instructions" auto-email go to an Administrator? It really needs to go to the user that just created their account! I've just been on with chat and apparently there's no way to edit this, no event type to send directly to the user, and orgs are working around it by having to post all the login instructions on the Login page itself? This makes no sense. It really would be so much more useful if it went straight to the user who just created their org in the system. Thank you!

charity check
There is a discrepancy between GLM and CSuite charity checks. When a private foundation applies it 'passes' the charity check unless you think to check in the Publication 78 box. When you run the same org in CSuite, a more obvious charity check message about their private foundation status displays. It would be helpful to have a more clear way of flagging private foundations within GLM before applicants get further in the process.

Advisor or Household "Roll Up" in Donor Reporting
The Advised/Household roll up is a powerful tool that I have often used in my donor reports. Many of our donors give via a Donor Advised Fund.
However when you use that tool it also "Rolls Up" individual giving records to household giving records. This unfortunately results in inaccurate Donor reporting, including households that are inactive or deceased. I'm wondering what is stopping Foundant from giving users the ability to either "Roll Up" just Household or just Advised donations.
Because of this problem I have stopped using the "Roll Up" feature and instead create 2 separate reports one with all…

Turn Preview Off
I'd like to suggest there be an option to remove the "Preview" button for an upcoming process that isn't open to apply to yet.
We have a few applications coming up that I have turned the availability on for so that they show up in the applicant portal and applicants are able to see when they open, but we are still finalizing some of the formatting and questions/prompts that we don't necessarily want the applicant to be able to see quite yet.
Having the ability to hide or remove the "Preview" option while still having the process/application show on the…

Sender Merge field SLM Email Templates
Email templates now offer the "Sender" merge field, it would be great if we could have the "Business Tittle" field in the users settings (optional) and maybe only internal so students to have access to it, but this would allow us to easily communicate foundation staff information without having to manually input. This would also allow us to track the evaluator's tittle at the schools involved in our nominating committees. Bonus if we can sync it with C-suite!

reviewer panel
For one grants cycle this year, we received 222 eligible applications that then are reviewed by 86 reviewers. We frequently get a large number of applications and reviewers, although this year is the biggest one so far in a long time! We assign reviewers to different panels, which are groups of people who all review the same applications. We make these application/reviewer assignments outside of Foundant, but it would be really helpful if we could group applications/reviewers by panel in Foundant. Without it, we have to send out communications manually basically, going back and forth to an external Excel document…

SLM FOLLOW UP DATES
It would be very slick if we could select a group of students and change or extend their follow up due dates in a batch rather than at one at a time.
PERHAPS IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO THIS ALREADY?
Many thanks for looking into this.2 votes -
Could AI verify transcripts?
A requirement for our scholarship application is that the student must upload an academic transcript. I am currently having to open over 140 applications, then open the document in the transcript section of the application to verify it is actually a transcript. Could AI be developed to open and interpret the document to confirm it is a transcript? It would be a huge time-saver for staff.

Bank reconciliation
Add back the filters at the top of the Bank Reconciliation Module. As of January 2025 this feature was taken away. The ability to filter all transaction is helpful in the reconciliation process.

Enhancing GLM and SLM through ERP Integration
To enhance GLM and SLM, consider integrating more advanced ERP system functionalities into the platforms. By incorporating features like real-time data analytics, automated reporting, and seamless integration with other ERP modules, you can significantly improve efficiency and accuracy. For instance, implementing automated data syncing between GLM/SLM and ERP financial systems could reduce manual data entry errors and provide more accurate insights into grant and contract management. Additionally, incorporating AI-driven analytics could help users identify trends and optimize their strategies based on real-time data, leading to more informed decision-making and streamlined operations.

General Ledger - Make Account Field Drop Down Clickable
Currently In General Ledger, when looking up an account's detail (in "Show Transactions") the user is required to enter the general ledger account in the "Account" field. It would be helpful if this field was a drop-down clickable list of all General Ledger accounts. This would avoid having to physically enter the accoutn number in that Account field. Many times when looking up an account the user knows the account name but not the number, so a drop down list of all accounts with names would be a nice feature to have.

assign follow ups installment visibility
We used to be able to see the Installment we assigned a follow up to in the Assign Follow Up dialogue box "Attach to" column. This new iteration took away that visibility and only shows us the words Installments, Installments, Installments down that column instead of the installment we actually assigned it to. Could we please see the installment we assign the follow up to in that column instead of the word Installments? Thank you.

TABLES
Adding the column row total is wonderful, but there is a need to be able to subtotal them. I'm trying to create a financial report for my grantees to complete, and it would be nice to see the subtotal of the total column so they and I can know how much money is left in that particular category. Now, what I will have to do is export the table into Excel and create my formulas to subtotal and total the columns, which is, in my opinion, a huge waste of my time.

When creating a document and when viewing the Merge Docs on the communications page, they are not sortable. I wish the list was alphabetized, or sortable. Right now we have to scroll through dozens of templates.

IRS Pub78 Data actually NOT available in reporting
Hello from OKC! I've found a couple of threads that suggest it is possible to pull into a report all the fields available under the Charity Check > Publication 78 tab. I'm able to pull some but not all. I even chatted with support this morning just to make sure I'm not missing this. Specifically, I'd like to pull in the Organization Name field from the IRS Publication 78 tab within the CharityCheck module. I can pull the general org name field from the orgs profile (as they've entered it) but not the name as the IRS has it listed…

There needs to be a way to delay the automatic email for follow up's
Please put a delay on the first year follow ups and other required documentation, otherwise, the grantee receives a follow up before a paper letter with terms or a check has arrived. This causes a lot of confusion for the grantee who assumes that both of those have arrived and panic in locating them. It also generates a lot of phone calls and emails regarding these. A month delay would help considerably.
