Grants on Hold
There have been previous posts about having the ability to put a grant on hold (rather than approve or deny), but they haven't gotten much of a response. We would find this extremely helpful, and have been surprised that other funders don't seem to have a need for this. Perhaps a new post will get more of a response?
Examples for us include having an applicant org announce that the Exec Dir is leaving, and wanting to wait until the new ED is in place before funding (to ensure their priorities remain the same), needing to have a site visit but having to delay it, or waiting for our finance committee to do a "deep dive" into an org's finances (for applicants requesting over a certain threshold).
