New Portal: Add "Grant to Another Foundation Fund" as a button on the Grant Request Page
In the legacy portal there is a clear way for an Advisor to search for another foundation fund to recommend a grant. In the new portal you have to click "Previous Grantee", even if the Advisor has never given to that fund before. There should be a button that says Grant to Another Foundation Fund so that Advisors know where to go to make interfund grants. This is especially important for emergency & disaster response funds and giving circles. Please make it clearer so our Fund Advisors know how to recommend grants to other funds at the foundation.

We're having the same issue with this.

I agree - it is critical to make it easy to make grants to foundation funds, and it should be easy for foundations to promote this to their fund advisors.

It would be helpful to streamline the Create Grant Request options in the new portal. Here is a suggested change:
Once someone clicks the "Create Grant Requests" button (the one at the top of multiple pages) -
provide the following option tabs:
Previous Grantee
Search Grantee
Manual Grantee
COPY PREVIOUS GRANT RECOMMENDATION
EDIT OR CANCEL RECURRING GRANTSThis makes more sense than asking fund managers to go to a completely different tab on the left side navigation to complete what is essentially all the same task.

Thank you posting this idea! This would be a welcomed enhancement. DAF fundholders awarding grants to other funds at our foundation happens often.
