  1. Similar to where you can check a box to include blank default payment types to populate when you create a batch of checks add an option where you can select alternative payment types.
    Currently if you want to pay with a check for something that is typically electronic or ACH you have to change the default payment in order to create a check and then remember to change it back.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. We have had instances where we're expecting a scheduled report to be sent on a specific day and it does not get sent until a later day. If CSuite is unable to send the automated email due to a system issue or Internet outage, it will send the next available day and will also adjust the schedule from that point forward. We then have to manually change the "Next Send Date" for those scheduled reports so they're back to sending on a specific day. This is especially problematic for Weekly reports.

    Instead of the schedule auto-adjusting on CSuite's end based…

  5. The donor submitted grants request through the Portal that exceed the fund balance and available cash.

    Currently, there is no setting or hard stop in place to prevent a grant request from exceeding the available cash. When a request is created that surpasses the total available amount, the system displays a warning message indicating this—but it still allows the request to be submitted.

    I recommend implementing a control that automatically subtracts the available cash each time a grant is made, ensuring that future requests cannot exceed the remaining balance.

  6. For recurring grants, the language used for the number of grants is confusing. The wording that advisors see when they make a request is "Number of Recurring", and the wording that staff sees is "Max Recurrence." However, in practice, the number in this field will be used for the total number of grants (one initial grant PLUS any recurrences). Can the language be changed to "Total number of grants" and "Max Occurrence" - or something similar that makes it clear that the first grant should be included in the count?

  7. Add / Create Task - can the due date default to today's date, keep option to change date? A lot of tasks are done for daily activities, so why not save time for the due date?

  8. Please make the grant categories/grant types optional for populating at the top of the catalogs. They push down the catalog too far and the search bar is fine for navigating. Please and thank you.

  9. Please change the color of alerts back to red. The orange color doesn't catch the eye as well. Thanks.

  10. While we appreciate your software and all the grand things it can do, we have found it difficult to keep up with the rate at which you make changes. We are a small office of three people. We struggle keeping up with our day-to-day tasks, let alone keeping up with software updates. We are so far behind on your software updates--we just can't keep up. Can you consider doing these on a broader calendar scale? Or maybe implement them based on changes more for 'big offices' vs. 'little shops' ?

  11. Prim Date on addresses needs to be a searchable/filterable field by date in Custom Reports.

    For large mailings that may be going out in the future, Foundations using professional external print vendors for large mailings will often need to provide an accurate data list of addresses well in advance. If the future mailing date would affect the addresses pulled (e.g. knowing that the future mailing date will have toggled many Prim Dates to a different address than is currently Primary), there is no way to actually search or filter or BULK report for Prim Dates.

    Address Type Name is one…

  12. Love that I'm able to upload documents, such as newsletters, with visibility in the portal for online fund advisors. The only limitation is that it must be done for ID of every fund group (ie: scholarships, donor advised, Agency, etc). It would be really nice to have a global option to upload a document (and potentially a notification) in 1 transaction that impacts all funds. If that exists and I missed it, please share!

  13. When running an opportunities report or viewing opportunities, it would be beneficial to be able to filter the opportunities by stage. Viewing and reporting by stage can facilitate progress updates and help identify categories/levels of donor engagement when used for moves management.

  15. We send matching gift acknowledgement letters to the donor whose gift is being matched. Our current fix is their full name and then we must remember to edit. Someone else proposed this idea two years ago and it was archived.

  16. The ability to attach documents to recurring grants is great but it would be nice to be able to attach documents to beneficiary grants as well. We process a large number of beneficiary grants and it time consuming to have to attach all the necessary documents to each grant every time we process those grants.

  17. Currently you can only add/delete grant and voucher approvers in Funds > Grant Approver or Voucher Approver. Clicking into the name of an approver brings up a list of every fund in the system, but you cannot filter it by fund group or any other filter.

    I suggest just adding Grant Approver or Voucher Approver in the Bulk Edit menu on Reports! Then we can create a report that filters funds to our desire and then change Approvers there.

    Looks like similar request was suggested in 2021 but archived from lack of engagement: https://idealab.foundant.com/forums/597718-communitysuite-idea-lab/suggestions/44612853-add-fund-groups-to-grant-voucher-approval-process

  18. Would like campaign groups to be a field in a campaign report. This would help me pull a report on donations made by specific groups/tables.

    Currently, campaign donations report only show ticket purchases and not donations also made via stripe.

  19. I would like to be able to upload a donation import file that includes donations to a fund that has linked donors.

    Today my import failed because the file had one donation to a fund with a linked donor. The linked donor on the fund was also the donor in the import file.

  20. Provide a mechanism for a fund advisor to download statements for multiple funds at once instead of one by one.
