  1. Currently, it doesn't appear that you can add a deceased individual as a donation advisor. This creates issues when someone gives us money through their estate. The donor will usually be "the estate of" or a trust associated with the original donor. But we cannot add the deceased individual. That means we won't be able to see a donor's total giving history even if they made clear their intentions during their lifetime.

  2. On a scholarship record the name from the profile comes over as Last Name, Title, First name. We would like to have student names read first, last retaining the ability to sort alphabetically by last name. This causes problems with the award letter(see previous ideas) and with the check name when we use the student as the payee- it comes out as Last Name, First Name. Most banks don't take that so we need to fiddle with it in excel.

  3. After creating a custom report, it would be great if there was an option to edit the title/name of the report and save.

    Currently, the only way to change a report's name is to "Save As" and go back and delete the original report with the old title.

  4. When note text is output in reports it loses all carriage returns. This makes it rather difficult at times to read notes that have been laid out in a specific manner.

  5. Consider adding the Fund Steward as a field for grant letter templates, just like the fund statements. We use a custom field to present this information on our grant letters but having the Fund Steward available is ideal. It's available in other templates so hopefully this is easily implemented.

  6. I think that the Fund Managers should be able to toggle the "Grant Notify" and "Donation Notify" buttons on our off at their leisure. It would be nice if this is something that they could have a hand in managing for themselves when they login to the portal.

  7. Money In / Bequest Pledge -- our foundation deals with complicated bequests every year which need detailed reports for our Audit. Please create the ability to have a Pledges-Bequest section which can be booked to our GL account for bequests receivable, which could map to our correct net assets GL code. Using Opportunities for bequests receivable does not allow for our desired Audit reporting requirements. We have experimented in the Sandbox for setting up bequests as a pledge, but currently it is too cumbersome having to constantly change the pledge default codes.

  8. One Big Beautiful Bill includes a new above-the-line charitable deduction for non-itemizers that goes into effect 1/1/26 which specifically excludes DAFs. Between now and then, we need Foundant to offer a solution for noting which funds are DAFs in the Giving Hub, so donors know whether their gift is actually going to be tax deductible for them. Possibly "Group" and/or "Donor Advised Y/N" could become visible.

    NOTE: This is a customer service issue that will impact ALL Foundant clients that sponsor DAFs and use the Giving Hub.

    Thanks! - TCF

  9. We need to be able to track scholarship specific information (such as associated high school, minimum award amounts, maximum award amounts, criteria, funding use limitations, etc.). Custom fields on scholarships that are REPORTABLE are needed! Custom fields on awards or funds won't suffice because a fund can have multiple scholarships and an award is too far downstream in the workflow. SLM doesn't allow for tracking of this information either so without custom fields in CSuite we are forced to continue tracking this information in Excel :(

  10. Currently, Manual Fund Statements can be created to include days that are outside of the closed period -- This has caused issues for Fund Advisors when they (through the portal) create a manual fund statement. They are including periods that the foundation has not closed, and it is leading to confusion.

    Ask:
    Can there be a warning associated with the Manual Fund Statements to alert a Fund Advisor that the time period they've selected is not within a closed period and therefore the information may not be accurate?

    Thank you, Team!

  11. We would like the profile-fund link feature to function more like profile to profile linking and org role feature, with the ability to add start/end dates, mark the link as active, and have a record of historical links.

    We are utilizing profile-fund linking to track folks who participate on committees for specific scholarship funds. It would be very useful to have a record of who has participated in the past and when folks began participating.

  12. Beneficiary and Additional Beneficiaries can be added, but they seem to be underneath the incorrect section. These fields are included under the "add opportunity tasks" rather than the actual opportunity itself. This gives the false impression that this field will be visible on Tasks, when in reality it won't.

  13. When entering a note for another individual, it would be great if the "Who" was an option to change when entering the note. Currently I have to enter the note, then edit the note to change the "Who." Thanks!

  14. Require Primary Advisor Approval - Multiple Advisors

    On a fund with multiple advisors, currently only one Primary may be indicated when requiring approval of a grant request. If someone other than the Primary submits a request, the Primary is notified to log in and approve the request. If the Primary submits a request, none of the other advisors are notified for approval. We need to be able to require equal approval from all advisors, so that when any advisor makes a grant request, the other advisors will be prompted to log in for approval.

  15. It's great that Csuite tried to make updates to allow for donors to give to multiple requests from the main grant catalog page, but the user-experience needs improvement.

    The "basket" is hard to find, and the new "ADD" button below each grant catalog request is not intuitive. Please change "ADD" to "ADD TO BASKET" or allow us to edit the "ADD" button language. (It's surprising this is not editable).

    On mobile, the "Basket" is especially hard to find, buried under the menu, which is how most donors give. And, the basket total amount does not update on mobile like it…

  16. Allow Profile Fund link Categories to be edited vs having to delete the Profile Fund link and adding the fund back with the newly desired Category. Example, we are changing 'advisor' to 'primary advisor' or 'secondary advisor' and having to delete the Profile Fund link w/ 'advisor' category and then adding the fund back with the Profile Fund link of 'advisory-primary' or 'advisor-secondary'.

  18. Currently, the ability to generate an in-system Portal advisor invite email with a unique account setup link is only available from the profile's Fund Advisor record (the "Send Login Email" button retained from the legacy Fund Advisor Portal); profiles without the Fund Advisor designation do not have this option available.

    We find the Send Login Email option to be the most efficient way for our staff to set up new Portal accounts and would appreciate if this tool could be made available from the profile level (on the menu of the Login Info tab) so that automated emails with unique…

  20. It would be extremely helpful to have an Outstanding Loan Balance field available within loan templates and as an option for custom reports.

    Our organization would like to send annual loan statements to clients that clearly show the remaining balance on each loan. Currently, there isn’t a straightforward way to include this information, which makes it difficult to provide complete and transparent communication to our borrowers.

    Having an “Outstanding Loan Balance” option would not only streamline annual reporting but also improve client service by allowing us to easily share accurate, up-to-date balance information. This enhancement would be valuable to any…
