  1. The ability to void a grant should not just apply at the grant request stage. If a grant is created from a grant request and then deleted without being posted or having the charity status checked, there is no log of the grant ever existing in CSuite - no log of who created the grant or when they created it. Not until the charity status is checked or the grant is posted does a log exist for the grant. After this, you can’t even look up the grant request if you’ve taken note of the grant request number since it’s…

  2. We have a few corporate DAFs where the fundholder recommending grants is an organization profile. Currently on the template, we are able to include the name of the organization and their contact information through the fund advisor fields. We would like to also have the ability to include the main contact person's name and title at the organization. I see where org. contact label is in grant templates, but this is the contact person at the grantee organization and not the fund advisor recommending the grant. Could a field be added that would populate the org. contact name and title…

  3. Several donors would like to receive our annual report by email to save the cost of mailing, others only want info about grant specific events, etc.
    To be able to flag outliers would be most helpful.

  5. Within a Fund have a box list (similar to Fund Profiles) in the white space on the right to house the past 6 grants, include the GranteeID, Grantee and Amount. Making the GranteeID a clickable link to expand on the grant for more information. Instead of having to run a grant report according to years or quarters.

  6. It would be swell if we could run a report that summarizes the detail in the amount of a calculated balance swap. Swaps that occur to or from our Operating fund are always a funky amount, and I understand that it's a mix of payables, grants, fees, etc. but it would be great if we could get a report (or see a screen) that summarizes all the transactions that constitute that swap amount.

  7. After you create a grant, it would be awesome if you could see the fund balance right there. it seems like you could through loading a custom report, but ultimately it doesn't show correctly (maybe because it needs to be approved first?) in any case, this would be super helpful!

  8. Please make a system toggle to turn off the reo-ccuring grant option for the fund holder portal - the tracking for this is super cumbersome and its awkward when we have to tell a donor that we don't have the capacity to track this. Much appreciated.

  9. When you run a grant history report the default setting is that the report is oldest to newest. It would be nice if either you could change the default or choose the sort order. Typically the oldest grants are closed, and I'm working on the newest grants. It's very rarely that I want grants sorted from oldest to newest.

  10. It would be great if you could change the fund on a grant after an installment has been paid or be able to change the fund on an installment basis. Once an installment has been paid there is no ability to do this. The system does allow a fund change if there is only one installment.

  11. After voiding a grant request in CSuite, if you don't take note of the grant request number (which we don’t do), there is no way to go back and find that voided grant request. It seems like it should be much more easily found - like on the fund, grantee, and/or fund advisor profile. You should also be able to run a report on voided grant requests.

    Similarly, when a fund advisor cancels a grant request on their side of things, this comes across in CSuite as a voided grant request - it looks the same as when one of…

  12. The Fund Summary Report would be more useful if filtering of "Donation Types" was allowed. We use "Donation Types" for more than just true contributions (because we do not wish to use "payments" for recording non-gifts due to control concerns), so it would be nice to be able to select (using checkboxes) which Donation Types to include. Also, it would be nice to be able to filter out internal grants altogether, rather than showing as a separate item in the charts but including in the summary report.

  13. It would be very helpful if you could add a way to pull in refunds of scholarships or grants that were entered into Fims as non-gifts. Or even generate fund statements as Word documents that can be edited to add a row in grant details for a refund, so the total of the grant details tie to the grants summary line item above. Otherwise it does not match.

  14. I would like to see the capability to add the name of the office or department on an organization's profile for mailing and sending checks purposes. Right now, we have either manipulate the address 1 and address 2 fields or the contact title. This doesn't always work though because we have the highest position on the organization's profile, but often times that is not the contact person and/or position that it should be sent to. I'm not exactly sure the best way to do this, but I imagine that many people run into similar situations. Some examples that would be…

  15. When grants are awarded in one year but are returned in the next year, it would be nice to have the ability to put these funds into an "other revenue" account rather than reducing the current year grants. We are running into this issue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grants were awarded last year that were to be used for programs during the Spring of 2020. Since some programs have been cancelled we are receiving the grant back. We don't want to reduce our current year grants by these returns.

  16. It would be useful to have a field at the fund level where the recognition name (if different from the fund or advisor name) could be set up. This field would need to be able to be merged into grant transmittal letters and report-able in custom reports. This would allow more flexibility in recognizing fundholders who submit grants through the portal, as well as for the Foundation's fund listings.

    For example, if Jane Smith submits a grant online from the Smith Family Fund, the grant letter can be set up to list Jane and John Smith as the donors if…

  17. Right now when a fund advisors cancels a grant in the Portal it is done automatically. It was suggested by an advisor that instead there should be a warning alert "are you sure you want to cancel" instead of it being automatic. Great feedback!

  18. We need to be able to see trends in giving and grant making over a given number of years and would like to be able to compare donations/grants for a given month, quarter or year compared to the same month/quarter/year for past # years. (Compare April 2020 to April 2019, 2018, 2017 etc or 4th qtr 2020 to previous 5 years etc. for both donations and grants with ability to breakdown by gift/grant type. (Exporting all gifts and grants to an excel worksheet and manually extracting this info is not a great solution and prone to error and running separate…

  19. This idea would do well for both the Grants Catalog and the Donate to a Fund. On the main page with the list of funds and list of grants, it would be good to only allow 200 characters to show - to shorten the list. But then, when a donor clicks on the Fund to donate or clicks on the grant to donate, the fund page or grant page would show the rest of the information about the fund or the program in the grant catalog.

  20. We would like to have a section for personal interests that acts similar to grant type interests. This would allow us to have a better idea of how to converse and interact with donors. (Ex. If a donor is tagged with the "baseball" interest, we could take them to a game). It makes it easier for us to track personal interests without flooding the notes and grant types section of C-Suite.
