  1. When importing a batch of grants, you should be able to specify an expense account at the time of import. Currently you can't, so if you import a huge batch of grants that needs a specific expense account, you have to go through and individually edit each grant to the correct expense account anyway, which defeats the purpose of being able to batch import grants.

  2. It would be extremely helpful to our workflow to have the Grant Administrator included as a column. If blank, this lets the team know the grant needs further work before it can be paid. Without this column there is no way to tell if an administrator has reviewed the grant.

  3. When posting a grant, the system should check the balance of the fund no matter what the grant date or posting date is. Currently the system only checks the fund balance and gives a warning message if the grant date and date it's being posted are the same. If the grant date is in the future (as all of ours are), the system will allow you to post grants over the balance in the fund. As we are not posting grants on the same day as the grant date, it would be ideal if the system would give a warning…

  4. Hello - it would be wonderful if a copied grant would automatically change the Grant Date and the Payment Date to the new date. Otherwise the copy function is really only partially helpful. Thank you!

  6. It would be nice for the Grant Document to be available to print prior to Approving and Posting the Grant...this would come in handy if the individual that typically signs the grant document will be out when the grant is actually paid. This way the document is signed and ready to be enclosed with the check payment

  7. Currently Grant Service Area is a dropdown option and a user can only select one option. However, we currently use Grant Service Area as individual counties and a grantee may serve more than one county. it would be extremely helpful for reporting and tracking to have this field as a multiple choice instead of restricting to one option.

  8. It would be helpful to have the envelope function in grants to add the full contact person name when printing envelopes. Also when exporting the grant data it would be helpful to have the full contact name to the export for merging envelopes to print not just salutation. In my export you can see Salutation and Label and the label on an org profile the label uses the org name. Every time I export I have to go research the persons full name for envelope.

  9. Our grant catalog has over 60 applications at a time. It would be helpful to be able to see how much has been funded when you open the catalog. It would be great to have a "total funded" field at the top of the grant catalog page so we could see at a glance the total amount funded so far.

  10. It would be helpful if there were a filter option within the Approval buckets to list any grants where the payment in the Grant Payment Schedule still needs an approval. It's easy to miss in the process and there's no way to know if that first approval step has been made for all grants before moving onto the second round of review and approvers.

  12. We would like to see the Affiliate/Supporting organization or division field from the fund details appear in the grants.

    We need to be able to recognize the funds from our affiliates in order to process the grants using the correct payment type and award letter.

  13. Add a row to Grants and Grantee profiles that allow us to select Qualified Donee as an option for Organizations/Profiles as qualified donees are eligible to receive grants. Currently, with AJAH turned on and the word "Qualified Donee" in the FedID field, it does not allow us to check or process a grant therefor, we need to keep AJAH off and manually check the charity status for each grant. This may also include bypassing AJAH charity check if Qualified Donee is set.

  14. Our fund holders love the grant notify email (confirming the grants they have submitted) however many have asked for more details. They would like to have Grantee address included to confirm that the correct location was selected. They would also like to see the amount formatted to dollars.

  15. Often, the grant writer is not the primary contact for the grantee organization. It would be very helpful to be able modify the email recipients for grant award letters.

  16. It would be helpful to have the Last Grant Date for a nonprofit show on a grant request. There is no way to confirm organizations' addresses for every grant that is processed (7,000+ annually); however, if the grant request could pull in the last grant date, it would prompt us to confirm the address if the last grant was older than/not within a certain timeframe.

  17. While we appreciate the opportunity to attach certain grant letters to fund types under "Templates" in CSuite, we are running into an issue with CSuite mandating that a default letter be selected for different fund types. Because our Foundation creates so many manual grants, having a pre-selected default letter is creating extra work for our staff. Additionally, the grants that we synch over from GLM do not have a grant letter created through CSuite, and not being able to remove a default letter creates a layer of additional work for our staff.

    Because we manage 20+ competitive grant processes in…

  18. When a fund advisor is the primary fund advisor but also marked as the one that MUST (Require Primary Advisor Approval) approve any grants from the fund and they submit a new grant in the portal, they must still approve their own grant.

    The explanation in CSuite (?) says "If enabled, grant requests made by anyone other than the primary fund advisor must first be approved by the primary fund advisor before being converted to a grant". That sounds to me like the primary fund advisor should NOT have to approve their own submission.

    The advisor doesn't even receive any…

  19. Synch grant summary from GLM into CSuite
    The majority of our staff our CSuite only users so it would be helpful to have the grant summary import when synching GLM grants to CSuite. Right now, we are having to edit each grant to add the grant summary into CSuite.

  20. For the Request bucket in Grants, it would be helpful if there were individual checkboxes for requests to create grants, similar to what’s available in the Award Letter and Voucher buckets. There are times where we just want to select one or a select group from a list and we don’t have that option now.
