Allow request documents to be seen by 3rd parties as well.
For grant agreement forms, we often need an institution official to agree to the IP language or grant acceptance form. We usually have the applicant enter in a 3rd party email to complete this, but then have to rely on the applicant to also send them the document they are agreeing to. It would be helpful to have that 3rd party be able to view the request document like the applicant can.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your idea in the Idea Lab — we truly value your input and creativity. After reviewing engagement levels across all submitted ideas, we’ve decided to archive this particular idea. This helps us keep the Idea Lab organized and focused on the ideas that are getting the most activity and feedback from our community.
That said, your idea is important to us! It’s possible a similar idea with higher engagement already exists — a quick search might help you find and support it. If you’d like to resubmit this idea with clearer or more specific wording, it could also help others find and vote for it more easily.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns. We truly appreciate your participation and look forward to hearing more of your thoughts in the future.
Thank you again,
The Foundant Team

This would also make it easier in SLM as we get many applicants asking if their requests have been submitted. It would be ideal if Administrators could allow the 3rd Party Request questions to be anonymous or not anonymous. Right now everything is only anonymous but it actually makes more sense to have most stuff visible to the applicants.

Agreed. Executive directors are not always eager to agree to an application without being able to review it. Currently, the grant writer or I have to pdf the application and send it to the director.
