Affiliate organization
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.
2 votesIt is possible to create an award letter template and assign it to a fund. Is that what is needed here? This is done within the template. There is an option to add funds.

Grant description field should be larger so it can be viewed without scrolling
Could you please modify the grant description field so that it automatically wraps text when adding or editing descriptions?
Currently, the field allows up to 255 characters, but it's challenging to verify entries because we can't view the entire description at once. It would greatly improve usability if the description text wrapped within the field during data entry, allowing us to see the complete description without having to scroll. Once the grant is saved, we can read the entire description in one field but still have to scroll when editing.

990 report grant types
Grant Types on the 990 report (from the "Grantees (Orgs)" option) populate based on what the grant type is in the fund record. When multiple funds provide the award, the field does not populate because it can't select from multiple fund records. Because this report is a cumulative report, and for 990 reporting purposes, it would make more sense for the grant type to populate from the grantee record. That way the field would always populate because it's based on one record, and it would always be applicable because the grant was serving the org's mission.

Fund Balance Check on Grant Posting
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…

specify expense account when importing grants
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.

Add Qualified Donee row/option
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.

Grant Request Bucket - checkboxes for requests to create grants
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.

Internal grant envelopes
Is there a way that the envelope option become available to accompany a letter that is processed for an internal grant? This is a letter for the person/organization that requested the grant and currently there is no envelope option that matches the grantors name and address that appears on the letter.

Default Grant Sort
I think grants in the various buckets used to be sorted by grantID by default, but now I can't tell how they're sorted. I know I can choose any column to sort by, but can it go back to default sorting by grantID like before? Thanks for considering.

Navigate back to approval bucket after approving a grant
As a grant approver, my workflow would be greatly improved if I had the option to navigate back to the Approval bucket after I have approved a grant. The current options don't work for us because we move grants to the Approval bucket to encumber multi-fund requests. They aren't necessarily ready to be paid out yet, so jumping to the oldest grant in the approval bucket isn't helpful at all. It would be much more helpful to go back into the Approval bucket to scan for grants that are ready for us to pay.

Grant notify details needed
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.

Multiple Advisors on one grant
We have many donor advised funds with multiple advisors. There are often times when they want two or more advisors listed on the same grant. Is there a way to add this option? Otherwise we need to contact the grantee and let them know all of the advisors involved in a grant.

unapprove payment without posting grant for approval
It would be helpful to have the ability to unapprove a payment within the Grant Payment Schedule before posting the grant for approval. This is our first line of approval, and if the line gets approved in error, the first approver has to post the grant, notify the second approver that payment was posted in error and needs to be unapproved.

Copied grants - please make default grant & payment date the new grant date
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!

Send or print grant letters in bulk, not just by check batch
We should be able to send grant letters in bulk, not just by check batch. Similar to how you can check the box for the tax receipts you would like to send all at once.

Reinstitute grant and voucher creation as one process
In the most recent release notes, the creation of grants have changed so that once approved, you receive a message saying "There are no more grants that need approval" and you are then taken back to the grant home page. It makes for a smoother work flow to be able to continue, like you used to be able, to the voucher approval and creation. I am not quite sure for the reasoning behind this change, but I think it would be beneficial to return to the previous way of posting grants and vouchers in one step.

Envelope in Grants
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.
