Assigning School and Student ID in Bulk for UA Scholarships
We process around 200 scholarships to around 100 students annually. We love the SLM to CSuite integration, but we feel there is a huge oversight regarding assigning the school and student ID. This all has to be captured individually and manually entered into the payment in CSuite. This was quite an arduous process this year. It was easier to upload it into CSuite as we used to be able to do before SLM.
There was a release on 4/6/22 to implement this for standalone processes ("The School (Payee in SLM) and Student ID will sync between the two systems.") But…

Inactive profile should not allow you to process any transaction against it. (Gift or Grant)
When a profile is marked INACTIVE, you should not be able to cut a check or a grant or post a donation. We had a grant check go out in error to an inactive profile. At the very minimum there should be a warning that you are processing on an inactive profile. FIMS did not allow you to have transactions pushed through on an inactive record.

One Log In Across Foundant Platforms
It's pretty frustrating for folks to have to remember all their passwords across C Suite / GLM / SLM / Compass and Idea Lab. Especially when they don't all update on the same schedule. Would be great to have some synching of the platforms.

Docusign Integration
Foundant is considering integrating Docusign with GLM & SLM. Is this under consideration for C Suite as well? We'd love to have this integration capability on the C Suite side too.

Household yearly tax receipt
We would like to see the ability to run yearly tax receipts for donations for a household even if donations were added to individuals within the household separately. It would be nice to have the option to combine donations.

Enhanced the 990 export to include the IRC Section Code and Grant Purpose. The IRC Section Code will be populated from the new Tax Class field that is user defined in Profile Types.

Would be great to have some visual indication on the home page that there are things to look at in our various buckets.
ie, like a little colored dot or something when a recurring grant has come due, or a donation has been made online....

More payment options for donor payment portal
We have donors who would like to make donations online using a bank check/ACH. Currently our only payment option on the donor payment portal is credit card. We were told by fondant that ACH payments through the donor payment portal is currently not possible. Fixing this to allow ACH for donations will make receiving donations so much easier especially for our corporate donors.

Free Events
If there's a free event, it would be nice to have the ability to hide the "$0.00" amount that shows up. But also have a capability to select what fields must be filled out in the Required Checkout Information process. At the moment it's part of the check our process to enter address, which isn't necessary for a free event. Overall, I think it would be great to have a check box to select that indicates campaign is a "free event". Similar to the check box with Promises in Pledge.
The difference with a free event would be: No Fund…

stripe
Stripe is now able to accept ACH direct debit payments. It would be great if the online donation page would handle these now.

990 Report needs to include the actual Donation (if stock the name of the stock and how many shares)
990 Report needs to include the type of donation (Cash or stock) and if the donation was stock needs to include the name of the stock and how many shares. My auditor is requesting it.

1099 code needs to be on voucher line level not only broadly on vendor or GL
My question is related to some activity being paid is subject to 1099 and some activity is not. Same vendor but maybe a combination on invoice payment.
FIMS would give us the option to assign at voucher level. Is there any way to do this in CSuite? Or can I only do a broad G/L account or broad profile option? This makes preparing 1099’s a bit cumbersome.

recurring donation
Add more payment methods for Recurring Donations. I have some donors that prefer ACH'd donations every month that come directly to our Bank Account. It would be nice if I could add a recurring donation for the same amount every month and have it marked either Other Payment or Check.

Bank reconcile - approvals and log
For stronger internal controls, our auditors recommended the addition of two pieces to the Bank Reconciliation process in CSuite:
Approvals, to support our actual workflow. We have one team member that reconciles the account, and another that approves the work. It would be wonderful if we could enable approvals like we can with Vouchers or other areas of the system.
Log, showing the date/time and username who processed the bank rec. If approvals were turned on it could document when each step happened. Rather than only being able to see a history report that it was done, we need to…

filename of tax receipt letter
We very much like that we can generate and send the tax receipt letters out by email from within CSuite.
However, the pdf letter that gets generated and attached to the email has a long strange filename which can be concerning for some wary of files with viruses. The filename looks something like 92b81c76-8015-4099-a6b8-11d8beddb983.pdf.
Can the filename be made to be something that is more recognizable? i.e. DonorTaxReceipt

change fund
Change fund on donation
I wish there was a way to do a fund adjustment on a donation. There is an option to change donor, but not to change fund. There are occasions where we find this out after the period has closed and there's no great way to fix it.

Adding a "pay" option to an email profile
In organization profiles, when we grant monies using email notifications, the email listed is the primary POC who may not be the financial person. Since we can add multiple emails to the org profile, is it possible to add an option that has "pay" so that we can check that box for the financial representative and all payment/grant notifications go to that person instead? Similar to the address options.
