CommunitySuite Idea Lab: Fund Statements

Fund statements: Need school name in Grantee section

Please provide the option to list the school's name in the grantee detail section of a scholarship fund statement. This field is currently blank or will list the student's full name since the student is considered the grantee according to C Suite even though the payment was sent to the school. This is confusing for donors. This update would also protect the privacy of the student by including the school's name, and not the student's full name. We are not interested in the post by payment option as that feature can cause issues with financial integrity.

6/11/2025:Fund Statements: Added award_schools merge field has been made available to the fund statement template. This enhancement enables users to display the school or schools associated with a scholarship award within the grant detail section of the fund statement. If a school has not yet been selected for an award, the field will display “undefined” on the fund statement.

    We are glad to know this idea is planned. We really needed the school data in our fund statements.

  • Susie Lotreck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thrilled to see that this idea is planned! Thank you :)

    150+ people over nearly 2 years have pointed out the flaw in CSuite that allows users to process scholarships in ways that omit pertinent details from fund statements and not only has this not yet been addressed, but it has actually been de-escalated in priority. As a new client, this is very concerning.

  • Georgia Schwartz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed. This seems to be an inconsistency in how GLM works vs. how SLM works.

  • Frannie Powers commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm so disappointed to hear that this is moving back to proposed. Please reconsider.

  • Lance Eskelund commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this field and make it available on reports. Many foundations with whom I work would be very grateful.

  • Frannie Powers commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please do this....I've been wasting hours trying to create Custom Fields that will populate in a Fund Statement.

  • Susie Lotreck commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical! It looks poorly upon us that we can't provide a fund statement with the school name in the grant detail. The vendor is the School so why does that name not populate? I was really hoping this issue would be resolved before this scholarships are awarded. Thank!

  • Lisa Houck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is this still under consideration? Or is it back to proposed idea? Would love for this to be an option while running fund statements.

  • Ann Siciliano commented  ·   ·  Report

    We are so glad this is under consideration! Our donors have been asking for this information on their fund statements!

  • Ai-Hsien "Allie" Carreon commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with Lindsay Sneed - it's important to have the option to report on both Student Name and the school.

  • Jacob Schreiber commented  ·   ·  Report

    This will better define which university is the actual grantee, not the student.

  • Susie Lotreck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thrilled to see this moves to status of "under consideration". I hope this can be implemented by the time we need to run 12/31/2023 statements

  • Susie Lotreck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is this an enhancement that can be implemented in the next release?

  • Revlan Hill commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is something that is really needed. Thanks to everyone who votes for this change.

  • Lance Eskelund commented  ·   ·  Report

    Many foundations send scholarship checks directly to the institutions. Fund holders would like to see the names of those schools on their fund statements for any number of reasons, not the least of which is to show how they are supporting higher education, including their alma mater.

  • Jane Litz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Excellent idea - please incorporate!

  • Lindsay Sneed commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's a good idea to be able to report the student and the school, please.
