Separate, non Follow-Up form to Collect Thank You Notes from Students
The current methods of collecting and delivering specific thank-you notes to donors from students are often difficult. We'd like to see a system where a dedicated thank you note form can be configured and assigned to the student per opportunity and as needed and attached to the request, eliminating the need to use follow up forms. The choice between having fewer common follow ups (general thank you) and a large number of opportunity-specific follow ups (to get a specific follow up) is not a great one. A dedicated way of exporting these or emailing a donor directly would also be…

Custom Merge Fields for Email Templates
It would be useful to have the inability to use custom merge fields in an email template.
Some background on our proposed use this feature and the need it addresses:
Our foundation was attempting to create an email template which can serve as a digital copy of the scholarship award letter we send to recipients. However, we are unable to create a "master" email template that would serve across all opportunities because there is no way to pull in a description of the scholarship each recipient has won.
It would be nice to be able to utilize custom fields from…

Choose a specific date for a follow up form to be assigned
Please provide the option to allow us to manually key in a date for when the follow up form is to be assigned. Where the applicant cannot see the follow up form when they logon and to not allow the applicant to receive any emails regarding the follow up form until the date that the follow up form is assigned. It’s very rare to have down time but when there is any, we can begin to assign follow up forms with a future assignment date.

reassign request or followups to the primary organisation contact when you delete the assocatied contact
When a staff member leaves an organisation - rather than going through and reassigning the requests and follow ups - it would be ideal if the requests and follow-ups associated with their user were automatically reassigned to the primary contact for the organisation.

Allow us to determine when to send auto emails
It would be great to be given the control to determine when our organization sends automatic emails. I would like to send automatic emails when we deny a request and even approve a request but as a Foundant user I am restricted. Denial emails are possibly the biggest concern because you have to navigate in this backhanded way to even be able to send a bulk denial email. Once you deny a request it no longer shows up on your dashboard so it is out of sight, out of mind, and you are relying on an understaffed organization to remember…

You should be able to close requests even if follow ups are still outstanding
We have a process where we give grants out - the applicant has to complete the grant contract and then submit a grant evaluation at school year end. However, some never submit their evaluations. We do not let them be eligible to apply for another grant unless all their evaluations have been submitted, so we do not want to close or abandon any of the outstanding follow up forms that say "MSHE Grant evaluation". However, at the end of the cycle, I want to be able to close out all my grant contracts that have been completed, however, since a…

Abandon Option for Follow Ups
I would like to suggest an 'Abandoned' option for Follow-Ups, similar to that for Draft Applications. This way, incomplete overdue reports do not remain on the dashboard indefinitely. This would help with decluttering the dashboard, while also accurately marking the follow-up. As I understand, the only other option (apart from extending the deadline) would be to delete it, however we would want to keep them for record purposes. In the event that a grantee is able to fill out the report, we would then revert it back to Follow-Up Draft.

Side by Side Questions on Form
Previous similar requests have been archived. I am revising this request, hoping it will gain traction.
It would be nice to be able to drag and drop, or place questions next to each other than have them just cascade down the page. If a question was short enough, it would be nice to save space and place it next to another short question. This would be beneficial for multiple radio button or drop down questions.

No warning for required fields missing on UA questions
On any question type, if you miss a required field and click into the Applicant Opportunities tab to select opp specifics and try to save, there is no warning showing you have missed filling in a required space, the page goes nowhere, nothing occurs.
Please add a warning of some sort that a required field is missing.2 votes -
Integration of Multi-fund Detail
When sending letters to grantees, I like to let them know which funds their grant came from. We do a lot of multi-fund grants and so I'd like to have each fund and amount listed. Sometimes there are multiple installments from one fund, so I don't want to pull in installment fields. To my understanding, I can only get this information into a merge template if I create custom fields in a form attached to the request (like the approval form) and manually enter them. This is a more tedious than I'd like. It would be great if this information…

Show Decision Status
Show Decision Status: current setting applies to entire site (available under site settings). Moving this setting to the Process Manager and allowing it to be set individually on each process would open up more flexibility to accommodate different foundation's workflows.
Example: two grant programs are open at the same time. one is a rolling basis application process with fast turn around. the other is a quarterly LOI process involving board meetings. the ideal use of "show decision status" for these two programs would be vastly differently; yet the software is forcing one setting for all.

CSuite Notification for Grants Synced/Approved in GLM
Implementing an automated email or system notification to the primary user in CSuite when grants are synced or approved from GLM would greatly reduce the risk of grants being overlooked and significantly improve workflow efficiency.
As the Grants Manager, I work primarily in GLM, while our CFO manages CSuite. We often rely on lengthy email threads to track grant requests and approvals, which makes it easy for information to get lost. There have been several instances where approved grants were missed and not paid out on time simply because the approval was buried in email communications.
After searching the Foundant…

New Column Idea for Grant History
In the GLM, I often use the Request History tab of an organization in my work. I would really like to be able to see a column with the amount of each grant request from that organization even if the grant was denied. Additionally, I believe this "Amount Requested" column would be helpful for both approved and denied grants because sometimes our board approves of only a portion of the requested funds.
Thank you!

Comparative balance sheets with the ability to input comparative date
IT would be nice to have the option to select the comparative date in the balance sheet comparative presentation instead of only having the listed options (year over year, month over month). For instance, I would like to compare my current balance sheet to the prior year end, and then be able to prepare a cash flow that ties into it for the YTD. In that way, I can have a complete set of financial statements (balance sheet, income statement and cash flow) that all relate to each other for the same time period.

File upload as shared question to allow budget files to carry forward
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…17 votes -
Document viewer
May I suggest a document viewer for those under the documents tab? A colleague states it would be nice to be able to preview a document without downloading it.
