  1. Many foundations have funds with multiple advisors (e.g., primary advisor + successors). When a grant is processed, foundations often want to:
    -Send the main grant letter to the grantee
    -Send a separate notification letter to each fund advisor that outlines what was sent to the grantee

    Currently, only the single Grant Advisor field on the grant can be used in merge fields. Since only one Grant Advisor can be selected at a time:
    -Only one advisor can be merged into a letter
    -Users must manually reassign the Grant Advisor and regenerate the letter for each additional advisor

    There is no…

  2. When generating an internal grant letter (e.g., a DAF granting into an Agency Fund or Field of Interest Fund), foundations may want to notify the receiving fund advisor that a grant has been made into their fund.

    Currently, there are no available merge fields that allow users to pull:
    -The primary fund advisor of the receiving fund
    -The receiving fund advisor’s mailing address
    -Other advisor contact details from the receiving fund

    This limitation makes it difficult to automate internal notification letters for:
    -Interfund grants
    -DAF → Agency Fund grants
    -DAF → Field of Interest grants

    Current Limitation:
    Internal grant letters…

  3. In the Internal Grant letter template, I would love to have the advisor household salutation. You have included the advisor household label, but my only option for the salutation is one member of the household. So, we are manually editing all the internal grant salutations. Please help us be more efficient by providing the advisor household salutation!

  4. VOTE FOR GRANT LETTERS!!! 1 - Allow for the grant type AND grant letter template to be two custom fields on the import template. 2 - Allow the signed letters that are uploaded and saved to C-suite, to be emailed from C-suite.

  5. Currently in the donor portal, before a donor submits their grants, there is a button that says "Review Grant Request". Can we please change this to say submit the grants? I have had numerous phone calls from our donors because they are frustrated with the clicks before the grants are submitted. We have several older donors who are confused by that button and let their grants sit in the cart. I would love to see an easier process/button to submit grant requests.

  6. When processing manual fees, the calculation date automatically generates as the date that the fees were processed. That's inaccurate for us as our fees are all calculated as of quarter end but most likely not processed until a month later. We would prefer that a calculation date field be added so that we can select the date ourselves.

  7. We would like to add more than one fund to a manual fee entry. We frequently have to process manual fees for more than 100 funds, and it would be cleaner and less time consuming if this could be all in one manual fee entry with different funds (like journal entries where you can add a fund). In addition, a duplicate or copy function would be ideal so we can simply edit information as needed each quarter after duplicating last quarter's fees.

    The current manual fee entry process is so very time consuming compared to our previous software which allowed…

  9. The option to email tax receipts directly from a donation does not provide a customization option, so you have to edit the text that will be in the subject of the email for each donation if you don't prefer to use C-Suite's default subject field. Please add the ability to create our own default subject field that will generate for every donation.

  12. Donor rollup reports don't rollup First Date nor Last Date for donations made by an Individual member of a Household, or when a donation was Advised. This is confusing and deceiving, since Rollup Reports are supposed to help reflect all giving from or associated with a Household. There have been several other IdeaLab submissions related to this issue but dismissed due to level of engagement - maybe those Ideas should be "rolledup" to accurately indicate interest in this being fixed by Foundant.

  13. Please consider adding an approval log (or something similar) to a scholarship record. Currently there is nothing that mimics the 'Approval' log that appears on a grant. When a scholarship record has 'auto-approve' turned on, it auto runs through the grant stage, and still does not receive a logged approval. There is no easy way to see which user made the approval on the scholarship record, at any point in the system (SLM through to CSUITE). The lack of this transparency means we have to upload additional documentation to CSuite, showing who approved the scholarship to be paid, even when…

  15. Can we please have totals when we are looking at grant and donation history detail within Fund History, especially once a filter is applied. It would be so helpful and avoid the extra steps of exporting to Excel each time!

  17. Is it possible to hide all closed funds. It's frustrating to accidently click on the closed fund and have to go back again to retype. Staff here complain all the time to me.

  18. This was already posted and marked as implemented back in December, but now our top menu option has been taken away. Please give us back the option to use our old menu at the top of the page!!

  20. Shiny New Look: Responded to user feedback on the new UI updates, particularly around visibility and shading:
    - Increased contrast when grouping a custom report.
    - Increased contrast between enabled and disabled action buttons according to user permissions.
    - Updated buttons for generating award letters on scholarships.

    This did not happen on my sccreen
