I am fine with all of the required fields (we automatically fill all of these in for every grant already - including general support).
That said, I'm not sure how this really makes anything better. I need to read through all options for every grant to ensure that it is filled out completely, so splitting it into quandrants doesn't really do much.
I would MUCH MUCH prefer instead to just be able to get my shortcuts back at the top of the screen to go directly to grants rather than having to toggle my way to grants, funds, etc.
I would also prefer to have at least some of the the left-hand menu back (i.e. for edit payment). I find that easier than scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the grant to change/edit. -

Please make it optional to require the description field in grants be populated. We get many DAF grant requests that are for general support of the organization and do not have a description. I got an error when trying to create a new grant without a description, but after creating I could go back into the grant, edit it to remove the description, and save without an error. It would be ideal if the grant description field wasn't required from the beginning, especially for portal grant requests. Thanks for considering!
