Grant Notify for Internal Grants
Currently, when a fund advisor submits a grant request that is fulfilled via an internal grant (a transfer to another fund within the same foundation), the Grant Notify email is not triggered upon posting the internal transfer check.
This creates an inconsistency in the donor experience:
Fund advisors receive Donation Notify emails when their fund receives an internal grant
But they do not receive Grant Notify emails when their fund gives an internal grant
This lack of communication may cause confusion for fund advisors, especially if they are used to receiving confirmations for external grants.
Request:
Please enable the Grant Notify email to trigger when an Internal Grant Transfer Check is posted, so fund advisors are notified of all posted grants—internal or external.
This change would ensure consistent communication and transparency for fund advisors engaging in internal giving.

This would be a great enhancement! I also posted an idea to include scholarship payments in automatic grant notify emails. I was shocked to see that the emails aren't triggered, even though a scholarship is paid as a grant. Please vote for my idea: grant payment notification for scholarships

We have had fund advisors request confirmation that their internal grants were made since they received notifications for the external ones, but not the internal ones.

I agree with this statement. We have had fund advisors request confirmation that their internal grants were made since they received notifications for the external ones, but not the internal ones. As mentioned above, this is very important communication, but it appears like it has been overlooked and lacks consistency.
