Charity Check Data should be updated daily
The charity check data (through Grant Connect) is only updated on a quarterly basis, which means that if a Charity looses their status, they won't fail the charity check until the next quarter. The data should be updated on a daily basis - not quarterly.
2 votesAt this time, Grant Connect receives a manual update from the CRA. It is not an API feed that can be updated daily.

Bulk delete grants...please!
We see that this request has been archived in the past. Please reconsider it. If we import a large batch of grants or use the "Create Spendable Grants" to create hundreds of grants at one time, there is no way to bulk delete those grants once created if we find there is either an error or something that needs to be run differently. Individually opening and deleting each grant is extremely time consuming. Bulk actions can be found in other areas throughout the site. Can bulk delete of grants be implemented?

Add Tribute option for Grant Requests
This idea has been posted before, with many votes. I'm adding it again. In the new fund advisor portal, please add the option to add a tribute to grant requests. Donors want this option and a donation note is easily missed.

Auto-input fund advisor contacts when sending documents that have been uploaded to a grant file (ie. grant report)
When uploading documents (ie. a report) to a grant file, there is now the option to 'email' the document, as well as sharing it with the donor in their fund portal.
The email option currently auto-fills the email address of the grantee organisation, however it would be ideal if the email template pulled the email addresses of the fund advisors of the grant for ease of sharing the report with the funder.
It would be great if the copy field were blank, or also pre-filled the fund advisor email contacts as options, as opposed to just the grantee contact.

Fund Advisors Field for Grants
When you set up fund advisors for the portal, they are usually linked to the individual advisor's profile, not the household. This makes setting the household as the advisor when entering grants difficult because it populates the profiles with portal access. We then have to manually update this on the next page to the household profile, and this sometimes causes confusion if the individual profile is selected.
It would be nice to set up a profile as a fund advisor without having it linked to portal access. Often, households want separate portal access but make their grants together and want…
2 votesThere is the following fund setting that populates a drop down box when a Fund Advisor requests a grant. This is would require the household to be an advisor - you do not need to give them fund access:
- Allow Additional Advisors - Allows fund advisors to make grant requests on behalf of other advisors.
- This does not need to be selected to have more than one fund advisor setup on a fund.

Suggestion for Multi-Fund Grant Distribution in C-Suite
To enhance our grant funding process, I recommend implementing a feature that allows us to batch multiple funds for a cycle of grants. This would enable us to:
Select Multiple Funds: When bringing over a cycle of grants, we should have the option to select multiple funds for distribution.
Automated Fund Distribution: C-Suite should automatically calculate and distribute the correct amounts from each selected fund to the respective grants. This would streamline the process and reduce manual errors in fund allocation.
By enabling these features, we can improve efficiency and ensure accurate funding across multiple grants, making the overall process…
1 voteDo you utilize the fund beneficiary field on the fund? After setting these up, you can create grants in bulk once spendable is posted. Here is the link to the help article: https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405347700887-Create-and-Edit-Fund-Beneficiaries

grant notification to grantees - have two default emails
Currently the grant notification to grantees includes one default email and the option to manually add a second email notice. Is it possible to allow us to have a second default email load rather than adding manually. We have a number of grantees who have two people they want to receive a notice and it is not conducive to have to always remember to add the second person.

Post/Approve Grants Steps
When posting/approving grants, if there are no more grants to be reviewed, why do we have to then click to return to the grant you just approved? This extra step will really make a difference in Q4 when we're posting several hundred grants.

On Hold Grants
It would be great to have the "On Hold" grants put into an On Hold or Deferred bucket - similar to the "Deferred" bucket in the scholarships section.

grant advisor
On grants related to the Grant Advisor field, the field prepopulates with an individual who has the Fund Advisor designation. It would be helpful for the field:
to default to blank or a Fund Founder instead and
contain the ability to list multiple people in the case of a fund with multiple founders.1 vote -
grant type guidestar
It would be great if it were possible for the "Grant Type" (we use NTEE codes) to auto-populate from Guidestar when doing the Guidestar Charity Check. Currently, staff has to manually look them up in our organization's separate Guidestar account for each grantee when processing an award.

Increase character count in grant description field
It would HUGELY helpful for us to have more than 250 characters in the grant description field on grants for longer descriptions and details that the grantee needs to receive without having to create multiple custom fields on the fund or profile to pull into the letter.
We share our designated scholarship criteria in this way, and those can be anywhere between 1000-3000 characters.

Grant- post by payment option
I'd like the option to allow grants to post by payment like we can for scholarships. For example, the grant committee grants $15,000 paid out over 3 years ($5,000 installments). We'd like the option to have the $5,000 come out of the fund when it is approved for payment, versus immediately.

Hate Groups, Extremist Groups
It would be very helpful to have Foundant flag groups deemed as hate groups, and/or extremist groups by using some type of source to notify users that this organization has been flagged when trying to create a grantee profile with a particular EIN, or doing the charity check in GuideStar.
