  1. Allow Instruction Question type to be shared. We use this to provide external links to guidance documents at the top of each form. It would be VERY HELPFUL to be able to update the link once, rather than in every form.

  2. Enhance the Candid API Integration
    - Reduce Nonprofit Application Burden
    - Improve Funder's Collaboration Potential

    The Vision:
    Imagine nonprofits applying for grants by simply entering their EIN, then watching most of their application auto-populate with organization, programmatic, demographic, and impact data from Candid's database. No more asking nonprofits to repeatedly enter the same basic information across multiple applications!

    Imagine funders receiving better data from applicant nonprofits. And also having an easier ability to share funder grantmaking data out to the field. (By having a standard export in Foundant of data coded for submission to Candid's annual eGrants reporting.) Funders would…

  3. I am really enjoying the new organization summary page. I think it would be great if on the "Amount Awarded" table which goes by year, if we could also toggle to "Amount Paid" and look at how much we've actually paid per year to a grantee.

  4. I was wondering if anyone would find value in the ability to weight evaluation questions. We are exploring the idea of funding general operating requests and project-based requests, all from one process. If we were able to weight questions or make some scoring questions optional, this would prevent and help us with our evaluation of LOIs and Applications.

  5. Show Decision Status: current setting applies to entire site (available under site settings). Moving this setting to the Process Manager and allowing it to be set individually on each process would open up more flexibility to accommodate different foundation's workflows.

    Example: two grant programs are open at the same time. one is a rolling basis application process with fast turn around. the other is a quarterly LOI process involving board meetings. the ideal use of "show decision status" for these two programs would be vastly differently; yet the software is forcing one setting for all.

  6. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could program LOI/Application Evaluation Dates into the process AND ALSO set up automater reminder emails that go to assigned evaluators before these deadlines?!

  7. In GLM/SLM it would be great to add due dates for evaluation forms. Automated emails could then be attached and reminders to complete evaluations could be automated.

    As a small staff, I have to remember to do this, along with all the other things we are doing. While I do keep in close contact with our committees, it would be lovely for this system (where we have invested a significant amount of $$) to take on some of the burden, instead of leaving it on our shoulders. ...work smarter, not harder...

  9. It would be really helpful for the organizer in me to be able to move around/re-arrange Follow Up Forms as well as Decisions. When creating new ones they go straight to the bottom, but if I could group them together in ways that would help my workflow that would be great!

  10. Custom Message/Yellow Card - In the New Dashboard, the yellow card/custom message card in the upper left corner needs to have the visibility adjusted so more of our custom message can be seen, similar to the other cards. Right now, it is cut in half with a large blank space that serves no purpose.

  11. 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.

  12. Change the symbol of the Integer question type away from a # to something else.

    In our application we ask for percent of people served in our county. We built that question with the integer question type because that was the only question type where we could restrict the entry to two numerical digits.

    But our applicants and reviewers are confused because we are asking for a percentage but the little symbol next to it is the number sign, so it almost looks like we are asking for the raw number of people, not the percent of people.

  13. In addition to multiple signatories, I'd like to be able to add DocuSign fields such as Date Signed, text boxes and radio boxes.

  15. We need side-by-side columns for our evaluators so that they can see how their individual application score compares to the group of evaluators' average score. Only the person in the admin role can see the average group score. And, if the admin is also an evaluator, things get messy quickly in a meeting. An admin/evaluator can never see both their individual score column and the average score column without flipping between roles. Having the ability to see individual scores and average scores on ONE PAGE in side-by-side columns will greatly help with our evaluation meetings and enable us to make…

  17. When creating a merge document, it would be convenient to be able to choose the "documment type" at the top of the "create documents" box, rather than having to scroll to the bottom every time.

  18. From what I can tell, there is no way to indicate if a request is from an organization that was merged into another organization or if it was originally from the final organization. Currently, for applicant funding history (which we provide in a Merge Document) to our grant reviewers, we have to manually go through each request and figure out which was for Org A and which was for Org B. If our current staff ever leave, this knowledge will be lost or buried in the Comments tab. Is there a simple way to see this?

  19. 'Installment' should be a field option that can auto-populate in GLM - email templates. We fund multi-year grants and it would be helpful to include both the total amount awarded as well as the installment amount.

  20. Please add deleting a recipient from a batch email before sending, with having to exit the email template altogether. Thanks!
