  1. 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…

  2. Foundations increasingly allow donors and fund advisors to update their contact information directly through the Portal, which is a great improvement for data accuracy and staff efficiency.

    However, when an individual profile that belongs to a household updates their address, the household address is not automatically updated. Many foundations use the household record as the primary source for mailings and communications, which can lead to inconsistencies and outdated addresses.

    Current Challenge:
    -Individual updates address via Portal
    -Household address remains unchanged
    -Mailings continue to pull from the household record
    -Staff must manually reconcile records

    Proposed Enhancement

    Provide an option to:
    -Automatically…

  3. Adding a fund to the grant catalog functions differently in the fund portal-facing catalog than it does in the public-facing catalog. There are also differences in how funds function when added to a portal-facing catalog, as opposed to all other imported requests. I’ll give an example and explain the problems this presents.
    In the portal-facing catalog, there is no “Learn More” button. This is inconsistent with the “Learn More” buttons on other requests imported from GLM or added manually. Additionally, clicking on a fund does not take you to an intermediary screen to read the full fund description (as do…

  4. My understanding is that on the Email History on a Profile, it will only display the file that was attached if it's system-generated.

    It would be useful to display the attached file for emails sent MANUALLY through CSuite, too.

  5. It would be great to access both Individual and Household opportunities under the Household's profile. I am imagining something similar to how you can view all the donations under the household whether it be the individual or household.

  6. I think that the Fund Managers should be able to toggle the "Grant Notify" and "Donation Notify" buttons on our off at their leisure. It would be nice if this is something that they could have a hand in managing for themselves when they login to the portal.

  7. The paid invoices bucket has the oldest invoice at the top rather than the most recent. Please resort this bucket so newest invoices are at the top when you open the paid invoices bucket.

  8. If an organization is a beneficiary of a fund, I would like to see that on the recipients profile, not only on the Fund profile.

  9. Consider adding the Fund Steward as a field for grant letter templates, just like the fund statements. We use a custom field to present this information on our grant letters but having the Fund Steward available is ideal. It's available in other templates so hopefully this is easily implemented.

  10. It would be nice to include an "Item Date" for tax receipts in the foreach item section. Currently, if you wish to include the date of an item/donation for a tax receipt in a table, a SET-REF condition needs to be used within the template.

  11. It would be helpful if the Fund Statement Review Email Body email would allow for one email to be sent to a fund advisor letting them know that multiple fund statements are ready instead of an email for each individual fund statement. We have some donors that are fund advisors to several funds so will receive multiple emails. It would be efficient to have this information all in one email.

  12. We would like to be able to attach a file - letter, image, etc. - to fund statements. This would enhance fundholder (donor) relationships and communication. We easily do this for our fundholders who receive paper statements and would like to be able to mirror the communication for our fundholders who have receive electronic statements.

  13. It would be great if when adding a new note, you could add it to a household as well as individuals within the household. Or add multiple people onto one note.

  14. In the content settings for fund advisor emails, the only field we've ever had to use for an employee name is {{employee_name}}. That formats the name as last name, first name. We'd like it to show as first name last name, like John Doe instead of Doe, John. The only way we've been able to accomplish that is by changing employees in the system to a first name of John Doe with no last name. That works, but it's cumbersome to have some of our employees listed this way.

    Can we get a field added to the content that would…

  15. In the Portal for a Fund Advisor, on the donations tab of a fund, I see the description; however, I have to click into the Donation ID or Export to see if there's any tribute information. It would be great if there was a way to show the tribute information on the initial donation listing page and not have to click into the ID or export. Thanks for considering!

  16. It would be nice if Foundant can add CAMPAIGN and EVENT as optional fields to the existing voucher template. When there are hundreds of credit card transactions, it is very time-consuming and tedious to sort/enter CAMPAIGN and EVENT only after the transactions are loaded in CSuite. Thank you.

  17. Similar to the grants bucket and other areas of the system with sorting capabilities, it would be great if the Items columns in individual Vouchers could be sorted - Expense Account, Description, Quantity, Unit Cost, Total, and Campaign. When entering a voucher with many items, the sort order changes once the voucher is saved, so it would be very helpful to be able to sort these columns on screen. Thanks for considering!

  18. Change/Edit Date Range for Dashboard display should be sticky. Currently, the Start and End Date for Dashboard can be edited to display a different range than the default, pre-populated range. However, navigating away from the Dashboard reverts the date range back to default values. It would be amazing if the Start and End Dates were sticky, so I don't have to edit/re-select dates every time I go to the Dashboard.

  19. Provide an optional Dropdown Field on Grant Requests/Recommendations from donor-advised funds:
    - General support
    - Program support (indicate specifics in Grant Description)
    - General support for an event, no benefits are received
    - Grant is for an event, full minimum cost to attend has been already paid in full outside the DAF

    Purpose: Increase due diligence when processing grants

  20. This idea has been proposed before but archived for lack of engagement. However, I think it's worth posting again as it would be extremely beneficial to be able to export report to formats other than a plain CSV. For example, if we could export as an excel, it could preserve the hyperlinks in a report.
