  1. A way to customize fields on the display menus. For example, under Money In/Donations, being able to add the check number and description on the main display. Where ID, Created, Date, Donor, Fund, Type, Amount, be able to see the check number and description fields and perhaps who entered the donation.

  2. Scholarship Coordinator here: looking for ideas and/or potential solutions for calculating “unmet need” more efficiently. We are currently downloading a report for each scholarship fund. We receive about 600 applications each year, so it is very tedious. Currently we use “tables” in Foundant application that calculate applicant’s total financial support. However, then we take the applicant’s SAI number, add/sub to get “updated unmet need” calculation. This is very time-consuming. Does anybody have ideas automation? Or simpler process?

  3. Please make the choice between individual vs household vs org more visible. They're easy to miss!

    That, or add the option for a customizable header for further instruction.

  4. We would like to add instructions on when to use individual vs household vs org on the checkout page. Currently, a lot of households use the individual setting and we can't change it on the back-end.

    That, or make the choices more visible. They're easy to miss!

  5. Currently, I can only download a NACHA file by date. It would be easier if I also had the option to download a NACHA file by batch because sometimes I want to pay them on the same day but post them in separate batches. Or if I just forget one grant, currently I have to pay it on a different day.

  6. The “Alumni” designation is a great option for adding education information to a profile. However, it would be better if we could rename it to “Education,” since the current label doesn’t really fit a community foundation’s needs.

  7. The Bank Reconcile Report is a clean and concise view of the monthly reconciliation. It lists everything needed: Transaction ID / Post Date / Check Number / Description / Check ID / Debit / Credit.

    Unfortunately, the Check Numbers are missing from the Export feature and much needed for our monthly data.

    Included on attached documentation 1) a screen shot of the Bank Reconcile Report and 2) a spreadsheet of the Export.

  8. I have many applicants that are continuously requesting their balances and want to see what was paid out. It would be most helpful if they could see that from their dashboard. It would be a time savor for all.

  9. Could we make Note Type mandatory? Currently, anyone can create a note within the system, and leave the Note Type blank. In terms of reporting, having Note Type filled in is key.

  10. When wanting to validate settings on each general ledger account it is hard to double check/verify any of the following settings as they are not possible to view in a custom report or to even export out of CSuite from the Chart of Accounts:
    Functional Expense
    Advisor
    IRS 1099 Field
    Investment Level
    Financial View
    Statement Account
    Close to Equity Account
    Vendor
    Currency

  11. When sending grant award letters via Email - please create a function to auto-populate the non-primary emails into the cc fields. This would save so much time and not require staff to remember and manually add ccs each time. Alert notes don't even show up in the Email Grant Documents area so there's not an easy way to be reminded of who needs to be cced. There should be an option to automatically include more than just the primary email. Please also add any cc emails sent to the log of the grant and profile. Currently only the primary email…

  12. We have different engagement strategies based on internal personas. For example, we might have a "Frank Founder," (Founding Donor) that is also an "Andy Advisor," (professional advisor). Both have different engagement strategies such as the Andy Advisors getting invited to continuing education opportunities and Frank Founders getting invited to donor appreciation events. Is it possible to make change the drop down menu so that multiple engagement strategies can be selected? Or be able to add a custom field to help capture additional or "secondary engagement strategies?" Thank you for your consideration! :)

  13. We were in hopes of streamlining our communication with our payees when an ACH payment was processed. We enabled the check content but were disappointed when we tested the process that an automatic pdf is created that lists what Fund the payment is coming from. We would like the pdf to be an option that can be turned off OR have an option to not have the Fund shown on the pdf.

  14. Change the fund statement notification and email alert to a template which would allow for images (logos). Or add images <img src=""/> or {{img src=""/}} to html options. The current email is very basic despite having html capabilities. It's easy to overlook or mistake for spam. We currently send out an email notification through a third party which allows for image and logos. We would like to utilize the Csuite functionality instead.

  15. Please add an AUTOMATIC way to add SLM Follow Up Form, student thank you notes and pictures as files to share with Fund Advisors - in their "files" section.

    The current process is to individually:
    1) download each thank you note and student picture from the SLM Follow Up Form
    2) match with the known fund advisor, listed on file in C-Suite
    3) email each fund advisor (and donor) the thank you note and picture

  16. I think the Additional Notes section needs to be required so that when other information is needed people will put the information there and not be able to check out until it's there.

  18. A potential fundholder wants to get a tour of our portal ahead of deciding whether to open his fund with our community foundation. Is there a way to give him a tour of our white-labeled portal without showing him another person’s donor-advised fund data?

    Just like Foundant, or any other software company, community foundations need the ability to walk a potential fundholder through the UX of the system as part of their cultivation efforts to open new funds.

  19. This has NOT been implemented per previous post:

    We have multiple funds that either roll some or all of their spendable back to the principal balance of the SAME FUND each year to grow the fund or for a specified amount of time (until the donors' death for example). Currently, you can not select the SOURCE fund as the BENEFICIARY fund; it has to go to ANOTHER fund. It would be nice to be able to automate these grants annually instead of manually moving money from Spendable to Principal.

  20. Allow scheduled reports to change the date within the report. For example, if I want to see how many profiles are created weekly, I could schedule the report to go out weekly but would have to manually change the date range of Created T's. Could we have a scheduled report that also modifies time frames that filter the report.
