  1. Hi,

    Preparing profiles for screening through iWave or WealthEngine (both platforms that provide donor intelligence solutions to help organizations identify potential donors and optimize their fundraising strategies) typically takes about a month.

    Why does it take that long? The software requires detailed information for both individuals in a household to be listed in the same row. This includes:

    -First name, middle name, last name, nickname, and prefix

    -Business details

    -Phone numbers (home, mobile, and business)

    -Email addresses

    In addition to that, they request giving history: total giving, years of giving, number of gifts, last gift amount and date, as well…

  2. The donor submitted grants request through the Portal that exceed the fund balance and available cash.

    Currently, there is no setting or hard stop in place to prevent a grant request from exceeding the available cash. When a request is created that surpasses the total available amount, the system displays a warning message indicating this—but it still allows the request to be submitted.

    I recommend implementing a control that automatically subtracts the available cash each time a grant is made, ensuring that future requests cannot exceed the remaining balance.

  3. We have gift match programs going on most of the time. We need a way to check that incoming donations are all linked to the donors' pledges. Running a full donation report and whittling down to the donors who have made pledges is a time suck. I've tried writing a custom report, but there isn't a sort or field for "Pledge is Linked to Donation" or "Donation is Linked to Pledge."

    Please consider adding a "Pledge Linked" column on the Profile/Donor page. The "Pledges" tab only shows that the donor ever made a pledge, not the status of a pledge.

  4. When we create a scholarship in CSuite and turn it into a grant the grant description is automatically populated as Fund name :: Student name. We don’t want the student names to be visible in the fundholder portal, which they are if they’re listed in the grant description. Can you create a setting which would only pull in the fund name to the grant description, not the student name?

  5. When fund advisors use the guide star search, when staff process the grants in the new bucket all they can see in the new grantee field is the name and that it was from guidestar search. Often times, even though the guidestar search was used, we actually already have the grantee in our system. Our grants manager has to make the new grantee, compare it to the one in our system, and if it already exists then delete the new profile, and change the grantee in the grant. It is a lot of steps to take. When we see the…

  6. For recurring grants, the language used for the number of grants is confusing. The wording that advisors see when they make a request is "Number of Recurring", and the wording that staff sees is "Max Recurrence." However, in practice, the number in this field will be used for the total number of grants (one initial grant PLUS any recurrences). Can the language be changed to "Total number of grants" and "Max Occurrence" - or something similar that makes it clear that the first grant should be included in the count?

  7. I’d like the option to customize the Search box text in the grant catalog. The current “search grants” feels internal-facing, and “search nonprofits” would be more donor-friendly.

  8. Not too long ago they have us the ability to add a file to a note - this is super helpful because we can often attach email correspondences without junking up the "Files" tab with so many attachments.

    HOWEVER - you can only "Add File" AFTER you post the note. So many staff members have forgotten that option is available now. Please put the Add File Option to the Add Note screen so we can attach at note creation.

    Thank you!

  9. Please create a "convert to household" button in campaign to easily convert individual profiles to household profiles (with household members) added as guest. Sometimes individual profiles are pulled in from a profile type and there's not option to bring in the household. It would be great to just scroll down the list of profiles in the campaign, see who is in a household, and add the household (with household members as guest) with just one click! (We have a workaround for this now, but it's time consuming!!)

  10. The "hide description" functionality for the Fund Advisor portal currently hides the description on both donations AND grants. Based on other available settings related to fund advisors, there does not seem to be a setting that will allow for one description to show but not the other. It would be more practical to have control over those independently (e.g. turn off descriptions for donations, turn on descriptions for grants).

  11. It would be beneficial to be able to filter on custom reports or in the grant buckets whether or not a grant is multifund. Currently only available in Home > Grants > Reports.

  12. I would like to have a positive pay "bucket" or similar functionality that allows me to keep track of which checks have been downloaded in a positive pay export, and which ones are ready to download. We try hard to keep up with the work flow to include positive pay, but a few workflow situations have caused bank exceptions that could be easily solved if there was a quick place in csuite to view the checks ready to submit for positive pay. Thanks!

  13. Many donors recommend the same grants from their DAFs every year. I'd like to be able to copy grants that have been made before and have the custom fields carry over into the new copied grant instead of having to fill them all out again.

  14. I would like the ability to set 'No Default Template', as opposed to leaving the field blank and having the system automatically assign the predetermined default template.

    Most of our grant notification happens via GLM/SLM, and we do not need to generate a 'Grant Letter' or 'Scholarship Letter', or 'Award letters' for individual grants in CSuite.
    However, we have some programs that run through CSuite only, and need a letter attached. Because these programs are the only ones using the 'Grant Letter' template type, the system automatically pulls this letter template for ALL grants, at this time. As it currently…

  15. When you click on "Donate" from the Fund Advisor Portal left navigation, can the Giving Hub be opened in a new browser tab so the Fund Advisor can more easily get back to the Fund Advisor Portal?

    We have disabled the Login button on the Giving Hub in order to reduce confusion for our donors who are not fund holders (we have not opened our portal for donors). So we are trying to figure out how to help our fund advisors get back to the portal. Of course, we can direct them to open a new tab or remind them…

  16. There should be a feature added in SLM to prevent applicants from creating a duplicate application instead of just a warning. A duplicate universal application leads to quite a mess when it is submitted as it then creates duplicate individual opportunity applications as well. It is not only confusing for the scholarship agency, but even more so the applicant as it clutters their dashboard.

  19. We would like to be able to attach a file - letter, image, etc. - to fund statements. This would enhance fundholder (donor) relationships and communication. We easily do this for our fundholders who receive paper statements and would like to be able to mirror the communication for our fundholders who have receive electronic statements.

  20. Add / Create Task - can the due date default to today's date, keep option to change date? A lot of tasks are done for daily activities, so why not save time for the due date?
