Add an internal switch to interfund grant in portal
Currently, when a fund advisor requests a grant through the portal, if the grant is an interfund, we have to void their request and re-enter it causing confusion to the fund advisor.
It would be great to have the ability to internally switch it to interfund on the back end to keep the integrity of the fund advisor's request intact.
Thanks!

Grant document attachment: Option to set to no grant document by fund or fund group
I would love to be able to set a default "no grant document" by fund or fund type and then have a choice at grant letter to turn off the letter like we can for award letter. It is tedious to find and delete attached grant letters to grants that do not require letters. In our case, we do not send letters with grants that come in from GLM. I understand I can turn it off by check batch, but that means I need to sort out which grants are which at the time of the check run each time…

Automatically Populate Grantee Contact on Internal Grants
Automatically Populate Grantee Contact on Internal Grants:
It would be great if the grantee contact field would automatically populate with the primary fund advisor on the recipient fund for internal grants and/or we could have a drop down menu with fund advisors to pick from, as opposed to having to manually enter the grantee contact via profile ID each time.
This already happens for external grants-- so it would great to have the same functionality for internal grants.
Thanks! -TCF

Bulk Upload Ids for grant records
We love the bulk update functions in custom reports for grants. It would be incredibly helpful to have the option to bulk upload IDs and then gain access to the bulk options for grants.
For example, we are tracking grants for Hurricane Helene, which requires pulling reports and sorting in excel. It would be worlds more efficient if we could bulk upload grant IDs to mark the custom fields on these grants at once (vs. going one at a time, incredibly time consuming during a challenging time in our state).

Grant Approval with Vouchers
As the CFO, I work on fund clean-up and other grants movement all the time. It would be helpful if grants went to the Approval bucket in Vouchers so my CEO could approve all of the week's payments at once and I wouldn't have to ask her to approve grants constantly. OR so I don't have to constantly change the Settings in Grants back and forth. Maybe this is a toggle within the grant creation? Thanks for considering this idea!

Allow Foundation staff to hide an ACTIVE organization in the donor portal.
In CSuite: Allow Foundation staff to HIDE organizations from donors in the portal. (Eg: The Ohio State University – Scholarships)
* Allows Scholarship orgs to be ACTIVE, and allows them to be paid directly from CSuite without going into SLM
* Reduces the possibility that a donor will send a check to the Bursar.
*Offers Foundation's the option to manage unsuitable nonprofit organizations, while investigating concerns.
*Marking the grantee INACTIVE is NOT manageable in our workflow.

Grant request notification for staff - can they be targeted based on steward designation?
Is there a way for CSuite to send grant request notifications that come in exclusively from a philanthropic advisor's portfolio? We have staff members assigned as Stewards for both donors and funds. If a grant request comes in from of these donors or for one of these funds, it would be nice to be able to notify that particular staff member, without it being an "all or nothing" proposition. Certainly, we have some staff that needs to be notified of each incoming grant, as they will be processing each one. But for other staff, it would be quite helpful if…

Send or print grant letters in bulk, not just by check batch
We should be able to send grant letters in bulk, not just by check batch. Similar to how you can check the box for the tax receipts you would like to send all at once.

Annual grant letter for an organization - customized merge fields
We would like to create a custom letter that exports all the grant data for an organization in a fiscal year - similar to a donation report for funds.
We are looking at ways to reduce the administrative burden on our grantee partners and one of the things we are looking at is reporting.
Currently in GLM we require our grant recipient organizations to complete a report for every single grant they receive. As some organizations receive over 10 general purposes grants a fiscal year, they have to complete 10 individual reports. To try and relieve this burden, we would…

grant minimums by fund group
We would love to have a minimum grant request option for the portal but its done by fund groups. For example: DAF's minimum grant is $500 but maybe and Org Endowed is $100. We adopted a policy that requires all DAF grants to be over $500. However, if we set that as the grant request minimum for the portal it will cause issues for some of our small organizational endowed funds who maybe don't have $500 in ATS in any given year.

Custom Sort Order for Checks & Letters
It would be very helpful if we we could customize the order in which checks and check letters were sorted. We would like to be able to sort by the Grant Letter template. We have eight difficult templates that involve multiple constituencies and a number of letters. If they were grouped, we could process each type all at once which would reduce the opportunity for errors when processing the mailing.

It would be helpful if anonymous grants were marked in red.
When a donor checks the anonymous box after submitting a grant request online from their DAF, it would be extremely helpful if this was emphasized somehow.

Ability to Import Recurring Grants
There are times throughout the year where it is necessary to put several recurring grants into the system to set everything up for the next year or based upon requests from a fund holder. In order to do this it has to be done one by one in the system. It would be helpful to have a way to get several recurring grants into the system via a front-end import.

Grant description field should be larger so it can be viewed without scrolling
Could you please modify the grant description field so that it automatically wraps text when adding or editing descriptions?
Currently, the field allows up to 255 characters, but it's challenging to verify entries because we can't view the entire description at once. It would greatly improve usability if the description text wrapped within the field during data entry, allowing us to see the complete description without having to scroll. Once the grant is saved, we can read the entire description in one field but still have to scroll when editing.

Recurring Grants - New Interval
It would be useful to have more interval options than are available for recurring grants. In particular, we would like to have an 'every other year' option.
An archived idea once suggested a 'twice a month' interval, so other foundations do occasionally wish to set up recurring grants outside of standard intervals.

Add filters to grant document bucket
It would be helpful to add filters to the grant document bucket similar to all of the other buckets in the grant module.

Fiscal Sponsor Field on Grantee Designation to Auto-Populate on Grants
We would like for the option to pick a Fiscal Sponsor on the Grantee Designation of a grantee's profile so that it automatically populates on a grant record when it is created for that grantee. Similar to how the Grant Type field on the Grantee Designation automatically populates on a grant record, this would save us time and clicks.

Fund Balance Check on Grant Posting
When posting a grant, the system should check the balance of the fund no matter what the grant date or posting date is. Currently the system only checks the fund balance and gives a warning message if the grant date and date it's being posted are the same. If the grant date is in the future (as all of ours are), the system will allow you to post grants over the balance in the fund. As we are not posting grants on the same day as the grant date, it would be ideal if the system would give a warning…

Multiple Advisors on one grant
We have many donor advised funds with multiple advisors. There are often times when they want two or more advisors listed on the same grant. Is there a way to add this option? Otherwise we need to contact the grantee and let them know all of the advisors involved in a grant.
