  1. Our fund advisors would benefit from an alert that would be sent to our staff when a fund advisor creates a distribution request that would leave the fund with little or no remaining balance. As non-profit organizations experience funding challenges, we do see the potential for more agency fund advisors to request funds for emergencies. An alert would create an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with our fund advisors. It would be great if the alert can be sent via email to the foundation’s key relationship managers. It would also be nice if the community foundation staff could determine a…

  2. If a fund has to reach a certain dollar amount before it distributes, is there a way to set a Distribution Start Date by fund balance?

  3. It can be time consuming to enter manual fees on a monthly basis. We have a lot of fixed recurring fees that are different for each fund. Would love a way to set up a recurring manual fee on a fund that would run automatically for a set period of time. Or - a way to enter monthly manual fees in batch rather than individually going to each fund.

  4. The creation of a "most active funds" analysis report. I have done this analysis in the past, but not in C Suite. If we could have the ability to determine fees per transaction, it would be very helpful. It's a rather simple calculation to make, but harder to pull from the system and needs to be available on a per fund basis. Here's the formula:

    Fees/transactional volume (Gifts + Grants)= Fees/Transaction.

    Being able to access this information quickly over various time periods (year over year, 5 years, etc.) would enable us to analyze our "most active funds" and determine which…

  5. The fund balances aren't aligning with the contribution, grant, and distribution totals due to credit card processing fees applied to donations. Is there a way for the fund advisor to drill down into each donation or view a separate screen that shows the associated fees, even before the end-of-quarter statement is posted?

  6. We would like to able to assess a yearly minimum fee that is not at the end of the calendar year but at the end of Q2. If we could adjust the dates for minimum fees that would be very helpful for our process.

  7. The ability to schedule when spendable grants are to be made would be very helpful. We currently maintain a spreadsheet that lists funds, grantees, and timing of grants to know when to go "grant spendable" each year. Being able to set the date to be granted on the beneficiary would be most helpful. I'm thinking something along the lines of the recurring grants process.

  8. It would be very helpful to be able to edit the calculated admin fees prior to posting. Similar to how distributions/spending calculations can be edited prior to posting.

  9. For those funds that specify a dollar distribution (ex: $6,000/year), it would be nice to have the ability to create and apply that distribution type. I understand it can be modified during review but could be easily missed, particularly by newer staff. If there's a good work around I'd appreciate suggestions.

  10. When generating the admin fees, I would like to see the total calculation that the fee is being processed on. It shows in a description box but not in a column on it's own (nor does it show the total). Would be very helpful to make sure fees are calculating on portfolio balances accurately. This was something that FIMS included on their admin fee report, it showed both the full portfolio balance along with the fee column.

  11. It would be highly beneficial for the Audit Details export information to be available prior to posting distributions. Without posting distributions first, the quarter ending values used to calculate distributions are not available. This makes it difficult to compare year over year data to ensure accuracy. Having the quarter ending values used in the distribution calculations prior to posting distributions would negate the need to run all distributions in Sandbox first. We discovered 2 errors in cSuite calculations due to posting in the sandbox where cSuite was not calculating QEV correctly. Access to these values first is paramount to quality…
