  1. We pay grantees on a reimbursement basis. With some programs, this is a quarterly request, with others it is a single installment at completion of project.
    In either case, their budget will be collected in excel as part of the application. I would like that file to live with the specific project and be used to request reimbursements. Since file uploads are not shared questions, I don't have an easy way to help applicants do this.
    I saw that others had requested this functionality previously and the request hasn't been implemented due to lack of support. I'm hoping that by…

  2. I inadvertently Closed our scholarship recipients when I went through the old applications in order to update contact info. They have to be kept in approved to pull up by group; Closed applications can only be accessed one by one. The Close Request button is on the bottom right where it's common to find a button to leave a form/web page or an X on the upper right. Foundant has neither for users. You have to go to the Home icon, Requests & Users option, or the back arrow. It's not good user layout. Move the Close Request to the…

  3. With the new feature that allows a grants administrator to select which auto-emails should even appear in the auto-email list, it seems to be sorting them in a random fashion. I would like the auto-emails list to be sorted by stage in the follow-up lifecycle. See the attached file for an illustration.

  4. It would be helpful if you could create evaluator print packets after you have assigned your evaluators. Right now you can only batch create them BEFORE you've assigned them which isn't helpful. I want to be able to create application packets for evaluators if I need to (eg they are late or having trouble doing it themselves). It would also be helpful to be able to create packets of the top applications which you wouldn't know until after evaluations are done. You also can't create batch evaluation reports.

  5. We do post-grant evaluation and would love to be able to use follow-up for admin purpose. For example, create a form to document oral reporting conversations with grantees.

    We would like to be able to assign the follow-up to an admin and keep the form visible internally only.

    That would allow us to create databses to search through and report on the information gathered through oral reporting.

  6. For multi year scholarships, we have info we'll need from the student each subsequent year. Those follow ups now show in "drafts" but really, they are not in draft stage, they are upcoming or pending. It would be great to have those in their own bucket in the followup box on the dashboard so we can keep those separate from current/real time drafts we need to be aware of.

  7. We are doing a combination of standard written reports and meetings/calls with grant partners. I would like to be able to batch assign follow ups to internal users.

  8. As previously mentioned, a search function for process forms to copy. Further, I would like to be able to copy several "copies" of a form at a time. It is cumbersome to search, select, copy a form numerous times. Especially for grants with several years of reporting requirements. Example: a land donation with 10 years of reporting history assigned.

  9. We are using internal follow up assignments very frequently for staff to complete verbal reports with grant partners. When the report form is complete, they have to click "Submit Follow Up" then go back to their dashboard to access the submitted report, open it and mark it complete. If it's the final report assigned then they also close the grant. To help streamline better, it would be really helpful to have another button offered for internal follow up forms for "Submit Follow Up and Mark Report Complete". If doing that would make the same button appear on the external follow…

    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…

  11. There is only one Confirmation that goes out to Applicants when application is submitted and when follow-up forms are submitted. The standard language for the application is great but does not apply to the follow up form. It would be nice to have 2 options, so we do not have to have Foundant change it for us.

  12. Can the approval draft allow funders to add payments and follow ups and then once approved officially by board it is just a one click and the grant goes forward?

  13. I would love a way to auto assign an internal follow up to the same officer that reviewed the application. Currently I manually assign an internal follow up form to the officer. It gets overwhelming when 20 follow ups come in during the day.

  14. It would be great to have the completed follow-ups more easily available from the Requests & Decisions page. Currently, from "Requests & Decisions" completed follow-ups are only accessible by choosing "Follow-Ups Assigned" and then selecting each individual request/organization. I think the narrower group of only follow-ups that have been completed would make workflow better for admins using this page to navigate different requests, as well as board members, evaluators or grant managers who want to view completed follow-ups. For us, there is currently no way for our board members to easily get to completed follow-ups on their own, without being…

  15. I love the ability to show certain information in columns, however, it is limited to only particular fields. It would be great to have uploads as an option in these follow up columns. We collect student photos to send to donors and currently I have to go into each individual request to download the photo they provided.

  16. It's also about user roles and auto emails attached to F/U forms...

    We really need an additional user role for our regional directors. Our program managers (in the Grant Manager role) do 99% of the lift in GLM, but every so often we need to be able to bump a form up to a director. But our directors are also in the GM role, so everyone gets the same email. Our current work around is to assign the form to the director, but that doesn't always catch their attention.

    Also, making the payment forms approvable would be great. That way…

  17. For example I have a multi-year grant and I want the applicant to complete the same follow up form for each year of the grant (so same form, different due dates one year apart). Seems a little messy to have to create a new follow up for each year when the questions are the same - I'd like to just reuse the first form.

  18. When you enter the due date for a follow up by typing mm/dd/yy, the system should default to the current century rather than assuming you mean the 1900s.

  20. I would like to be able to assign a follow up to our own team members. We do a lot of internal reporting on behalf of our beneficiaries, so it would be great if I could assign a follow up to them instead of the grantee since we are responsible for the work. Some examples include receipt tracking, site visit reports, and internal mid-year reporting. I'm happy for the grantee to see what we are saying, but more importantly, for us to have an integrated system that allows all the right people access to how we're doing - transparency and…
