Grant Request created from guidestar should show address in CSuite when processing grant requests, not just grantee name, and profile matche
When fund advisors use the guide star search, when staff process the grants in the new bucket all they can see in the new grantee field is the name and that it was from guidestar search. Often times, even though the guidestar search was used, we actually already have the grantee in our system. Our grants manager has to make the new grantee, compare it to the one in our system, and if it already exists then delete the new profile, and change the grantee in the grant. It is a lot of steps to take. When we see the…

Grant Catalog Stripe Fee on Donation Report under Grants
We recently used the grant catalog for the first time to handle our Week of Giving Campaign. When I went into the grant after the week to put the donation report for each nonprofit and exported it as a CSV it does not include the "net of fee" amount or even just the stripe fee amount so that I can manually calculate the net amount. Can this field be added into the donation report.

Add the Ability to Reserve/Assign Incoming Grants to Staff Members
We need a way to reserve incoming grants from the request bucket to an individual staff member, because we have two people who work on processing DAF grants, due to large volume. Ideally, we would “reserve” multiple grants at once, and no one else would be able to edit these grants, even while they are in the “new” bucket. Once they move into the “approval” bucket, we would “unreserve” them so that they can be batch vouchered together. This would avoid duplication of profiles and grants themselves. Since more than one staff member is working on grants at once, sometimes…

Bulk Action - Set Grant Documents Template, Set Omit Grant Documents
Add the ability to set the Grant Documents Template and mark Omit Grant Documents to multiple grants via the Bulk Action tool.
Currently, you can set the Grant Award Letter Template and set Award Letter Needed (or not) but cannot do the same for the Grant Documents.
Side note - it would be beneficial to have the language for Grant Documents be consistent throughout the system. When in a grant, it's Grant Documents Template, but when in the Templates section, it's "grant_letter".

Grant award letter
Adding a field for the check number in the grant award letter Templates.
Due to the high volume of grants processed weekly, it’s very important to ensure timely donor recognition and to streamline the process for recipient organizations. Currently, it can take up to 10 days between the award letter email and the arrival of the check via USPS. This delay makes it difficult for organizations to connect the award letter with the check when it arrives.
Additionally, we’ve received multiple requests from grantee organizations particularly in cases where checks from the same donor are issued in the same amount.…11 votes -
grant request notification - more info
I like the 5/28 addition of the grant request notification to include the grantee name and grant amount. Could this be expanded to also include the fund name and any notes? That would be a huge time saver!

Bulk email for grantees
I think it would be very beneficial if we could send a bulk email to grantees, and have the email save in Notes in each profile.

Add more options to (and/or the ability to customize) Grant Quick Payment Schedule
Right now there are options for month, quarter, and year. It would be great to have additional periods like weekly or biweekly here. In a perfect world, this could be customized with the same level of granularity as Outlook's recurring appointments (e.g., "Recur every [x] week(s) on: [Date of Week]" with the option for defined end dates)

place hold on future payments for multiyear grants
We have several multiyear grants that are tied to one application. Once we process the first payment, the remaining payments are listed under voucher even though they are not due for a year or two. Can we get a "place hold" button for these multiyear grants so we don't accidently initiate payment?

"Hand Deliver Grant Checks" as an option for funds
A local organization does not get mail from us, for reasons that are not known. These missing mailings include checks. We have documented this situation for more than a year. Their profile is now set to Do Not Mail, but an option to Hand Deliver would make it much clearer that all letters need to go by hand.

Rename "Sponsored Org"
We have been instructed by Foundant's support team to populate the "Sponsored Org" field on grants with the Sponsoring Org. Can this field be renamed to "Fiscal Sponsor" so that it aligns with how it is intended to be used. This would also require "Sponsor", which appears on grant reports, to be renamed to "Sponsored Org". If that cannot be implemented across CSuite due to other clients using these fields as they are named, can we be given the ability to rename these fields within our specific CSuite site?

Hand Deliver Only
For grantees who have recurring issues with mail, how about a Hand Deliver Only option that is right up front on the main grantee profile page? We have an organization that does not get checks in the mail from us on a regular basis. This option would make it clear what the delivery mode is without a need to read or refer to a note.

Recurring Grants - Update Language from "Recurrence" to "Occurrence"
For recurring grants, the language used for the number of grants is confusing. The wording that advisors see when they make a request is "Number of Recurring", and the wording that staff sees is "Max Recurrence." However, in practice, the number in this field will be used for the total number of grants (one initial grant PLUS any recurrences). Can the language be changed to "Total number of grants" and "Max Occurrence" - or something similar that makes it clear that the first grant should be included in the count?

Grantees, scholarship recipients able to upload documents

Multi Fund Grant Reporting
Current Challenge: The grant reporting system currently lists each fund disbursement as a separate grant, even when multiple funds contribute to a single board-approved grant. This results in:
Overstatement of grant count: A single grant appears as multiple entries.
Underreporting of average grant size: The total amount is split across entries, skewing metrics.
Reduced clarity for stakeholders: For example, a $25,000 grant funded by five sources appears as five $5,000 grants, misrepresenting board decisions and complicating analysis.
Proposed Solution: Implement a reporting enhancement that consolidates multi-fund contributions into a single grant entry. Key features could include:A unified grant ID…

Multifund grant filter
It would be beneficial to be able to filter on custom reports or in the grant buckets whether or not a grant is multifund. Currently only available in Home > Grants > Reports.

copying a grant
Many donors recommend the same grants from their DAFs every year. I'd like to be able to copy grants that have been made before and have the custom fields carry over into the new copied grant instead of having to fill them all out again.

Tracking Voided Grants
When a portal request is voided before a grant request is officially made, there is no way to track it. It would be nice for the voided request to show in the fund's history and/or on the Fundholder's dashboard so that they an see that it was voided as well.
