eligibility quiz
It would be great if an eligibility quiz could be used to filter applicants for specific grant opportunities. So, depending on how they answer the questions in the quiz, it would then show different application opportunities. For example, if the applicant belongs to a small organization that is not scalable and has a limited budget, then after completing the quiz, an application specifically designed for this type of organization would be available to them.

Thank you for your feedback! This is actually one of the ways clients use Eligiblity Quiz today. If you reach out to our support team they can connect you with someone in Success to talk through the workflows.

Allow applicants to update Organization address again
Please restore the site settings allowing admins to designate specific org page fields that can be updated by applicants. I recognize that not every client wants this, but as a trust-based org, we'd like to give our grantee partners the autonomy to update their address on their own rather than having to reach out to us. (And if you all don't recall how this used to work, please reach out to me for more details.)

Prevent Duplicate Applications in SLM
Bumping this back to the top of the list - please strongly consider only allowing one application per process to be started at a time within a process cycle.
When we have multiple processes running (for us it just increased again this year, in the 30s) and 550+ active applications, we need a better way to keep the numbers accurate and moving things through the process clean and as efficient as we can. Please limit them to one application start within a process and change the apply button within the tiles that match to them to "Continue" if they've started…17 votesHello!
This functionality is now available through our process request limit functionality, released in January 2026.

Login Log for GLM
As it stands right now, the login record in GLM just shows the last time a user logged in and that includes someone proxying into their record. It would be nice to be able to see a detailed list like we are able to in CSuite.

Project Name included on Applicant Dashboard
In the new version of the applicant experience (which we are big fans of!), I love that the process is listed up front, our grantees used to struggle with identifying their different grants and which program they were connected to, but now the project name doesn't seem to be reflected anywhere on the new applicant home page. For our grantees/organizations that may have more than one project in a process (fairly common with local universities or hospital systems) the follow ups are indistinguishable unless they click into the form. Is there anywhere or any way that the project name could…

Third-Party Count in new applicant dashboard
The new applicant dashboard shows a red icon when there are pseudo-common or opportunity-specific third-party submissions that are outstanding (this is great!), but right now it doesn't show the icon if a common third-party submission is outstanding. The count (0/1, 0/2, etc.) when you hover over the icon also only includes pseudo-common or opportunity-specific third-party submissions. This has the potential to be confusing for applicants because they could believe all of their common third-party requests have been submitted when they are actually still outstanding. As an administrator, it will also be difficult to direct applicants on identifying which of their…

Notification when third party letter of recommendation is submitted
I've seen a couple of posts about this already, but not sure that it was articulated in this way. It's scholarship season and students are stressed out trying to submit their applications and get teachers to complete their letters of recommendation. I was really surprised to learn there currently isn't any formal notification that gets sent when a teacher completes their 3rd party letter of recommendation in SLM. Teachers would benefit knowing their work was properly received. Students want to know they don't have to worry about this or nag their teacher to do this, and admins want to know…

Change font color of administrator comments in GLM applications to make more visible
When I add a comment to an application in GLM (and mark it so that the applicant can see it), is there a way to change the font color or make the font BOLD so that the comments are more visible to the applicant? With all the text on the page, the comments just blend in and applicants aren't seeing them - which means they call me 900 times a day!!!
9 votesHi All,
we have changed the layout of the comment to look more like a sticky note on the question, we hope this has helped create a better distinction of the comment but if your applicants are still having questions please let us know.

prefixes
Update Prefixes to include gender neutral "M." and non-binary "Mx.". I know it says etc.; however, since it does spell out Mr., Mrs., Ms. we should include M. and Mx. to be respectful of those who identify as gender neutral or non-binary.

Pop Up Message when clicking on Apply buttons
Our Foundation supports a nonprofit healthcare system. Our Foundations grant both internally to departments to better the patient experience and externally to nonprofit organizations in the communities we serve. Therefore, we have to have an external application process and an internal application process. Multiple times this year, I had applicants moving too fast and not reading which application they were clicking the "Apply" button for and even though the questions weren't making sense, just kept going and submitting. That created a lot of rework for both our operations team and the applicant to copy the content over to the correct…

Apply Page Appearance
It would be great if the apply page could be shown in a grid or have a sort of table of contents on the side/top of the page -- we had several applicants apply to the wrong process because they clicked on the first opportunity (which takes up most of the screen). It seems some of them did not realize they could scroll/did not realize that there were multiple opportunities on the apply page.

Autosave In Progress Applications
Build a function where in-progress LOIs/applications and evaluations autosave regularly (perhaps every 30 seconds like in Google Drive/Forms)? I cannot tell you how many folks exit the page or forgot to hit save/submit, and lose all of their work, because they're used to autosave functions on so many other softwares they use. This would save so many headaches, and truly improve the experience for our applicants, grantess, and staff.
2 votesHello Annie,
Autosave is enabled in all Foundant forms. Questions save as you move from question to question, with every 100 characters in text responses, and any other click or take action the work will be saved. At a maximum with our autosave a user should only lose work of one questions. If you have seen this not be the case we ask the you please escalate to our support team.

same email for more than one organization
It would be nice if a user could be easily registered under more than one organization, using the same log in credentials to enter the grant management system. Hey, a girl can dream! :) Thank you!

Make the Preview button on Apply Page Optional and/or Customizable
The ability to turn off the 'preview' button (per process) on the public apply page would be helpful. If the Eligibility phase is being used or if the application form in a process has a lot of branching, the preview does not accurately represent the application requirements.
Alternatively, it'd be great to be able to insert a custom link so that users are taken to an informational page/pdf when they click the preview button.

Allowing larger file sizes
Our applications typically require a lot of uploads. They also have a lot of conditional logic. For instance, if someone is applying for a smaller amount of money, we ask for less financial documents, It would be nice if the allotment for file size allowance per application took the conditional logic into account instead of making it all cumulative. We bump into the issue of not having enough file size space in our applications all the time, and often steal a megabyte or two from one upload field to accommodate another, only to need to steal from somewhere else, etc.

Greater space between processes on the Apply Page
I would like to see a bigger space between multiple processes that are open on the "Apply" page. Currently, there is a tiny space between each process' "box", and our applicants frequently click the first blue "Apply" button they see.... which is often for the process below the one for which they actually want to apply. We have instructions saying to click the button at the top-right of the box but we all know people don't read well. If there was greater differentiation between the list of open grants then applicants may scroll back up to the correct Apply button.

Pending Deadlines
It would be very helpful if, on the applicant side of the dashboard, that urgent items/impending due dates could be big/red/or listed at the top of each process.
We consistently run into grantees not being able to find their final grant report/follow up forms that are due on their dashboard because it's listed at the bottom and not called to attention in any real way.Also, many grantees never see the edit button to the far right because there's a large white space after the text, so they assume there's no more information and don't realize that the full page…

Change Applicant Dashboard View
A lot of our users get confused when they initially look at their applicant dashboard because all of the grant requests are expanded and finding each individual grant gets confusing. Also, the title of each grant does not stand out very well since it is just a grey button. It would be helpful if we could change the default view of the applicant dashboard so that all of the requests are collapsed, and then you can click on each to expand, instead of starting with the expanded view.
