Blind Review
In SLM evaluations, you are only able to add two custom columns to the user dashboard and are required to keep applicant first and last name.
Our foundation uses blind review to align with our DEI initiative. When following blind review, the applicant first and last name appear as [HIDDEN] (see screenshot) and are unable to be removed. Our reviewers have given feedback that they would like the opportunity to have those be optional columns so that they are able to pull in more relevant information like high school attended, major, GPA, etc.
Removing the requirement to keep first and…

Outlook Integration/Tasks
For those of you who work with special projects who need to collect reports from multiple sources it's hard to keep track of when certain report dates are due. My wish item is for the GLM to have an email/calendar integration to mitigate any "through-the-cracks" issues. Kind of like the tasks feature seen in CSuite. I would like this feature in the GLM.

Parent-subsidiary relationships
We repeatedly run into an issue with organization records in which one org (such as a university or community foundation) is the "parent" organization, and a department or sponsored program is a subsidiary or component fund. It would be helpful if GLM had the ability to show those relationships, have different addresses where needed for the subsidiary, and to segregate the subsidiary's contacts and grant history. For example, I am far more likely to need information about the McDonald Observatory (part of UT Austin) than the university overall.

college addresses available to merge
Two ideas for this... 1 is just making college addresses that are added in follow up forms to be available for merge templates. 2 is to establish a way that all foundant customers can submit confirmed correct college addresses - share the knowledge!

New tutorial links
Please separate the videos back out to different pages for SLM and GLM as well as the different roles. For example, if I send my scholarship evaluators the link that has GLM as well, it is going to be confusing.

Batch assignment of requests to someone with the "Grant Manager" role
Currently, anyone with the "Grant Manager" role needs to have requests assigned to them by an admin. Admins do this by going to a request's summary page and linking the Grant Manager there. However, you need to do this ONE REQUEST AT A TIME. We have over 350 requests that we need to assign to a grant manager (we need flexibility in deactivating privileges, so we cannot make them an admin). That means an admin will need to go to 350+ request summaries and repetitively assign the request to this user.
Please make batch options for that available. Ideally, the…

Organization closed or is not longer in business
There should be a way to indicate an organization is no longer in business. Especially when dealing with multiyear awards.
organization may go out of business and when the multiyear award is due it appears on the report.12 votes -
Email to Grants Manager when follow-up is complete
We have matching grants as part of a Foundant process, and we send the match payment after we receive the final report Follow-up. It would be nice to have the system automatically generate a notification to our grants manager when the Program Officers have marked the follow-up as complete.

Tracking Touchpoints
There is no way to get one clear shot of engagement/touchpoints with organizations. Should there be unexpected turnover within an organization, their Foundant profile should have a feature to track the following:
1) Site Visits (with notes and person in attendance)
2) Phone Calls (with notes and person in attendance)
3) Events (with notes and person in attendance)
4) E-mails (with notes)Right now, we have to track this information on spreadsheets, which leaves a lot a room for human error. Without a feature like this, Foundant is very limited in its ability to manage the Grant Cycle process!

add active grant start and end dates, and grant amount to org history & request summary
It would be very helpful to be able to see the grant amount and grant start & end dates, preferable in both the organization Application and Grant History line, and (at a minimum) in the top box of the Request Summary. Too many clicks & scrolls to get that basic info. Thanks!

Sync comments between GLM and C-Suite
Would be awesome if we could have nonprofit comments in GLM synced to the nonprofit profiles in C-Suite so my team and I are always on the same page. Thanks!

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…

Automatic Email to admin for late Follow-up Forms
Admins should have the feature to receive an automatic email when a grantee misses their follow-up deadline. This would help admins with follow-ups assigned at different times to keep track of grantees who don't turn in their reports on time.

Request History as an Internal Form Field
The request history table in the print packet is so helpful. Board members and evaluators really like to have a quick snapshot of this information.
It would be great if we could
1) pull this table into application or evaluation form as an internal field or
2) create a field with the option to make request history pop out as an external window
or any solution that offers a simple way to have eyes on request history to those folks who spend little time in the database and don't feel comfortable with extra clicksThank you!

Batch Create Merge letters from Approval Buckets
For our GLM Processes, we typically create all of our Merge Grant Letters once the applications are moved into the Approval Buckets. Once these are in the approval buckets and we go to create the letters we have to go into each application one by one > create word docs > export > update > save etc... It would be awesome if we could batch create our letters by selecting the checkboxes on the approval bucket page and export 1 word doc with each letter having it's own page on that doc. This would allow us to create, export and…

Allow Custom Registration Fields for Custom Columns
If custom fields are created on the registration form for organizations OR applicants, currently those fields are not available to be added in Custom Columns. It would be really helpful to have this functionality for visibility when coding payments, classifying applicants, and for eligibility.

Add Progress Bar for Student's View and Submissions
I'd love for students to be able to see a color coded progress bar on their full submission, similar to the evaluator's progress bar. I have so many students who do not submit the additional applications they are eligible for because they think their application is complete. Since the Universal Processes show up on their page random/alphabetical, they do not see the "Assigned/Edit" and "Submitted/View" which I am trying to explain in emails to both counselors and students.

Evaluator User Role Should Be Customizable by Process or Permissions
We have many users with the roles of Evaluator and Applicant, which poses a problem because we cannot restrict their Evaluator role by process nor can we modify the permissions of the Evaluator role. We just had a user with dual roles answer the "internal visibility" questions on their own grant application.
