Forms for Committee Members
We would like the ability to assign forms to users that review applications, such as Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality agreement forms. Ideally, they would have to sign those forms once and before they begin reviewing applications (even if they are reviewing for multiple opportunities).
We also ask our committee members to submit a recommendation form listing their top choices of applicants (we don't often go by scores). It would be great to have that form be something that committee members could fill out within the system.13 votes -
add to calendar
Create an "add to calendar?" option for any due date (app/follow up forms, etc) whether from the dashboard or within an automatic email. This would be really helpful for applicants who are managing multiple grant processes that are in several stages.

add signatures to emails
I would love it if, when sending an email that's in a template, there was a way to choose a pre-uploaded signature (even if it was plain text). Right now whichever progam officer is sending the email has to go into their outlook email and copy/paste their signature into the email. Is there a way there could be a dropdown menu (or something similar) so that users with admin status could choose a their signature?

API Integration of SAM-UEI Verification
API to integrate a UEI verification function: https://open.gsa.gov/api/entity-api/ [open.gsa.gov]
This would allow organizations that require a SAM-UEI to verify the number submitted.
Thanks Eric Ashby from the Indiana Arts Commission for the heads up on this one!

Show Decision Status
Instead of a site-wide setting of showing the decision status and follow-up forms "x" days after the decision is made, it would be helpful to be able to set a particular DAY the decisions will be visible. This would allow us to approve and assign forms over a span of the scholarship cycle but NOT alert the student until a particular day. We would be able to better communicate with students, and high schools, on when awards will be announced. (Example, I could do the administrative work on our end from April 10th thru 28th, but all notifications and forms…

Email to Admin in Evaluation Stage
It would be nice if we could have a notification to administrators when an evaluator has completed their evaluations so you know to move to the next step.

Ability to link incoming e-mails directly to a request/organization
In order to facilitate the archival of correspondance linked to an organization or a request, we try to always send e-mails directrly from Foundant (using the "Send (no template)" option.
However, the responses come to our Outlook inbox and we have to save them somewhere in order to upload them in the Document section of the organization or request. It takes time and it does not allow us to view all correspondance in one place (e-mail history).
There is a lot of back and forth with applicants and grantees, so that would be very useful!
12 votesWe are continuing to understand the needs and workflows for emails that need to come back into the system.
What providers are people using?
Are there emails other than responses to system messages that need to live in the system?
If an email was sent in relation to a request, example for submitted, where would you want to view that email from?
Any thoughts are very helpful

calendar for GLM synced with outlook or google calendar
Having a calendar in GLM for grant renewal dates and reporting dates that can be synced to appear on outlook or google calendar. One could click on the calendar event which would link directly to the approved application for the grant.

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…

Add Form Creation Date to Reporting field options
Clients want to know when a LOI or Application form was first created. This field is available to select in Search Requests & Decisions but is not available to select when generating a quick export, nor is it a field available in reporting). Clients have no way of reporting on this date.

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!

Applicant dashboard improvement
It would be helpful to add the grant number and dollar amount to the applicant dashboard. Some organizations have multiple grants with similar descriptions. Being able to reference the grant number will minimize confusion for us and them.

list the actual payment date rather than the award due date in the award details of the request summary.
Seeing the due date instead of the actual payment date leads everyone to believe that was when the payment was made, especially since there is nothing that explains that date. In most cases, it is not and, unless they drill down to find the actual payment date, they assume that it is.

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!

Apply page
Challenge: at most times of the year, we have between 3 and 5 processes "open" at 1 time. Some of our applicants do not realize we have several grant rounds open and do not scroll to find the correct process. They click the first apply button that they see and fill out the incorrect application! Idea: would it be possible to have the Available process have 1 line (like the dropdown in the application) so that 5 or 6 processes would show at 1 time; the applicant would click to open the drop-down description, and reveal the preview and apply…
