  1. Since we are able to run income statements for Campaigns, it would be nice to create a budget as well. We hold events and use this option and each event usually has their own budget. - I know you archived but this is extremely IMPORTANT.

  2. Allow a new column under a grantee profile's Email section when you can select one or multiple profiles to be the Award Letter Recipient.

    Currently when Award Letters are submitted in bulk it goes only to the Primary email address for the organization. Many times an alternative email at the organization need to receive the Award Letter, and other emails need to be copied such as the Accounting or Accounts Receivable departments.

  3. We have been instructed by Foundant's support team to populate the "Sponsored Org" field on grants with the Sponsoring Org. Can this field be renamed to "Fiscal Sponsor" so that it aligns with how it is intended to be used. This would also require "Sponsor", which appears on grant reports, to be renamed to "Sponsored Org". If that cannot be implemented across CSuite due to other clients using these fields as they are named, can we be given the ability to rename these fields within our specific CSuite site?

  4. Please STOP the system from resorting journal entries by amount. At the very least, have the all the data necessary in custom reports so the data can be sorted in the entry order for review,

    When users create journal entries there is usally is a method to the order they are entered but for some reason the system re-sorts the entries by dollar value before posting. This makes it difficut to review the entries and makes them harder to follow if researching them.

  5. At our foundation we routinely have fund advisors making multi-year & multi-payment grants. How these grants are presented in the portal is slightly misleading, as it shows the full grant commitment. When fund advisors look, it requires digging into the details to see the payment schedule. This is also true for the grantee presentation in the portal. If the non-profit doesn’t look close enough, it could appear that the full commitment was paid out instead of just the 1st payment. It would help to lessen confusion for the fund holders & grantees if these grants could have the current payment…

  6. An option for an online silent auction including a way to add photos of the item and logos of donating business. Include a payment link for the winners.
    Basically, the same function as a site like Givergy but all built in to this system.

  7. 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).

  8. In the new Portal, in Grants / Grant History, it's possible to COPY a previous external grant, but not to COPY an internal (i.e. fund to fund) grant. See attached screenshot. Why? Can this functionality be added?

  9. Please change the Allow Profile Edit setting in Portal Settings to be on a per designation basis as opposed to an all-or-nothing setting.

    For instance, it would be great to allow fund advisor to edit their profile information in the portal but restrict nonprofits from doing so. This is not currently possible as the Allow Profile Edit setting applies to all or none depending on whether or not it is enabled.

    Essentially, include the Allow Profile Edit checkbox on each designations' settings as opposed to just the general profile settings.

  10. In the Giving Hub on the individual fund's donation page, we'd like to add a label that allows us to specify that the person whose contact information and picture showing is the fund's main contact (or as we call it, "Fund Liaison". That way someone from the public can know why the person's contact information and picture is showing.

  11. We are thrilled to have the ability for our fund advisors to search Candid. However, there are still too many clicks in the process and it is buried. Our donors don't want to think about whether a grantee is already in the One Valley database or not. Please make Candid the default search for "search for a new grantee". Or let us choose that as a setting. If the fund advisors add an org that is already in our database, it is easy to manage through the CSuite grant request bucket. This would simplify things for our advisors.

  12. Love the new option to send emails to fundholders who still have grants left in their cart. Currently the only option is to send emails to all fundholders on list. Is there a way to select individual donors who would be receiving the email?

  13. Please add the option to add particular custom fields to the edit menu of specific designations. For instance, it would be amazing if we could add a custom field to the Grantee designation's Edit menu.

    This would allow me to choose particular custom fields that would show on the edit menu of one or all of the specific profile designations. When I go to that Designation and click Edit, I will see the custom field I added and the ability to input/select a response for the custom field.

  14. It would be great to have the option to customize the fund URLs so they are more donor-friendly and better reflect the fund name. Instead of a URL like /create/fund?funit_id=xxxx, it would be nice to have something like /donate/EarlyChildhoodEducation.

  15. If you visit a grant catalog while it is closed (specifically the URL of a specific grant request), the text is not customizable. Right now, it says "Sorry, that grant cycle is closed," which I think is unfriendly and almost unprofessional? There's not even a period at the end of the sentence. I'd love to be able to edit this content.

  16. Automatically Populate Grantee Contact on Internal Grants:

    It would be great if the grantee contact field would automatically populate with the primary fund advisor on the recipient fund for internal grants and/or we could have a drop down menu with fund advisors to pick from, as opposed to having to manually enter the grantee contact via profile ID each time.

    This already happens for external grants-- so it would great to have the same functionality for internal grants.

    Thanks! -TCF

  17. Currently we use DocuSign to open a DAF and email. Most financial institutions that have a DAF product can be opened online.
    Can a process similar to GLM/SLM be used to open a DAF especially since DocuSign is being integrated. This would be helpful for opening all types of new funds.

  18. Thanks for all the great recent donation portal updates! I like that we now have the option to show the fund's grant type on the fund listing page. It would be great if there was also the option to group funds by their grant types like how the nonprofit directory works. We like that the nonprofit directory includes the grant types, but it would be great if service areas could be an additional way to filter this page. In addition, it would be great to be able to reorder the tabs that appear on the portal. We don't currently have…

  19. I asked about this last year, but posting fresh again to maybe get back on radar. If you want us to use your platform for sending emails and keeping track of correspondence, we need to look professional when doing it. Sending an email in Courier with no signature or logo won't cut it.

    Proposed Idea  ·  Holly Spitz responded

    A rich text editor was released on 9/12/2024. Here is the release note:

    Site: Added Rich Text Editor to the email creation areas for Profiles, Grant and Scholarship documents, Invoices, grant_letter_email_body content area and Grant Catalog.

  20. Currently, the Print Envelope feature only generates PDFs. Having the ability to download envelopes as a Word document would be extremely helpful, as envelopes often need minor edits before printing. With the current PDF format, the template formatting frequently shifts and addresses spill onto a second page, making them difficult—or impossible—to edit and print accurately. 
     
    Since Donation Receipts already include a Word download option, it seems this functionality may already exist on the development side and could potentially be extended to envelopes as well. Adding a Word option would provide much-needed flexibility and significantly improve usability.
