Integrate C-Suite to Zapier
Zapier lets you connect to 2,000+ other web services. Automated connections called Zaps, set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between apps that otherwise wouldn't be possible. In particular, we are looking for new ways to do online fundraising given COVID. We would like to work with GiveButter, a platform that will allow us to livestream an event and collect donations at the same time.

Multi-platform integrations via Zapier, Make, MuleSoft, or similar middleware
One of the most limiting things about using Foundant is the lack of connectivity to other platforms that we all use. Even in cases where there is some integration (like with MailChimp) that integration is extremely limited.
I found those ideas all via one quick search in the Idea Lab for the word "integrate." I bet there are many other requests that could also be solved this way.
If you're considering voting for this and want to know more, you can see all of the integrations available via Zapier, Make, and MuleSoft at these locations:
Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps
Make: https://www.make.com/en/integrations
MuleSoft: https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectorsFoundant is a relatively small company and obviously doesn't have the capacity to develop connectors between CSuite and the many platforms we all use.
Instead, I suggest that Foundant focus on developing a connector to one middleware platform like Zapier, Make, or MuleSoft. CSuite could connect to one of these platforms, then users could create integrations between CSuite and many other.
I did a quick search in the Idea Lab and found a number of suggestions that could all be solved by a middleware integration. Here are some examples:

FA Donation notifications should include tribute information
Fund Advisor donation notifications currently don't include tribute information, if the donation has been made in honour/memory of someone. It would be helpful if that was a field that could be added to donation notifications, as it's very important to some of our fund advisors to keep track of this for their own fundraising purposes.

birthday - option to not include year
Can we please have the option to select birthdays without a year or even a specific date?
Sometimes we may know the Month and Year
Other times, we may only know the Month and Day, but not a year.It is nice to capture this information for donor development

Complete Multiple Grants at One Time
I would like an option to complete multiple grants all at one time, but not ALL grants. Our organization utilizes this function to track when our organizations have submitted their completed grant reports on how funds were used. We process grants and two different types of scholarships. We don't need grant reports for scholarships so I want to mark them complete right after processing them. Right now though this is an all or nothing feature from what I can tell so I have to manually go into each grant and complete it because I don't want to bulk complete all for those grants we have distributed that we still need reports for. It would be nice if there were check box icons beside the grants to select which ones to complete. For example, after you select Complete All from the PAID grants tab and the list of Bulk Complete Grants appear having a box you can select like there is when you can select different donations to deposit at a time.

Fund statements
Please provide the option to list the school's name in the grantee detail section of a scholarship fund statement. This field is currently blank or will list the student's full name since the student is considered the grantee according to C Suite even though the payment was sent to the school. This is confusing for donors. This update would also protect the privacy of the student by including the school's name, and not the student's full name. We are not interested in the post by payment option as that feature can cause issues with financial integrity.

Last Donation Date does not reflect accurate last gift date
Currently on the household record, the Last Donation Date does not roll up all donations from the household members. So, if the household has not given since 2021, but a member of the household gave in 2023, that is not reflected in the Last Donation Date on the household record, it shows their last donation was in 2021. This is not an accurate representation of the household's giving. Please have all household and household members giving be reflected on the household record's Last Donation Date.

Delete Default Templates
I created a template I need to delete. I can't delete it because it is the default, and there is no other template in that category. We just don't need one in that category. But having one bad one isn't great either - I just want to delete it.

Scholarship Directory (Similar to Nonprofit Directory)
We would like to request that Foundant consider creating a scholarship directory similar to the Nonprofit Directory. We would like a place to easily share our scholarship names, descriptions, and photos to our students, parents, donors, and community. We would like to maintain this directory directly in C-Suite so that it can communicate externally and with SLM, if possible.

Allow Donor Addresses on Donations to be pulled for reports
The donor addresses found on donation records are not available to include in custom reports. Since the address on a donation may differ from what's found on a donor's profile, it would help to be able to view donation addresses through custom reports and exports. Right now, it requires manually viewing individual donations in the system to see that information.

Choose what donor/donation data fund advisors see in portal
We would like to be able to allow our fund advisors to see a variety of combinations of donor information (all info, just name, name and contact info, name and amount, etc.). Right now the portal only allows all or nothing. It would be great if we could choose what donor/donation information fund advisors see in the portal using checkboxes, kind of like we choose for them to see donations, grants, grants catalog, grant recommendations, invoices, etc.
(This was posted before but Foundant combined it with a similar but actually quite different idea!)

Fund Advisor portal updates s/b marked inactive instead of deleting from original profile.
I am in agreement that they s/b able to correct their contact information but I think it would be better at the profile level to then be toggled "inactive" instead of disappearing altogether "deleted". Instance that just happened they removed their work email and replaced with a personal email, which is fine but now the work email is no longer on their profile at all. Please change to inactivated vs deleted when changes are done on the portal.

Fund Anniversary/Upcoming Anniversary Reporting Functionality
I am in a strategic process here at the Foundation thinking through further ways to engage fundholders and we would like to pursue using the “Fund Open Date” data to acknowledge anniversaries.
Currently, reporting will allow "Fund Open Date" field to be pulled by Month (regardless of year) but Relative date options are tied to year and will not produce a whole list.
I’m able to pull the report and work in excel, but wanted to work with y’all if there might be a non-external way to do this entirely on the CSuite system.
Desired improvement would be a functionality within Reports or elsewhere where milestone (especially "Upcoming") events are easily alerted and tracked to engage donors. A quick reference to "Upcoming fund open anniversaries" or "Upcoming Birthdays" would be a fruitful improvement to allow less external data manipulation.
Thank you for your consideration.

Multiple Email Options for Communications
When individuals unsubscribe from Mailchimp emails, it is impossible to discern if they want to unsubscribe just from marketing/ communication emails and who should just simply be marked "do not email". If Foundant could add choices on emails that indicates something to the effect of, "Marketing Emails" and/or "Foundation business" as boxes to check as options, similar to "mailing" or "inactive" for mailing addresses, that would be very helpful. Currently, if someone unsubscribes from a MailChimp blast, there is no way to realistically remove that person from marketing email blasts unless you go 1-by-1 and remove them from every campaign created that is then linked to MailChimp. The last report we got of unsubscribes was over 400 profiles in length and we would need to cross-reference this list each time, for each campaign. That is not a workaround we, or any nonprofit, is capable of. If Foundant had the option though to mark a record's email as wanting to receive or opt-out of MailChimp emails, but still wants to keep receiving emails about fund statements, tax receipts, or other 'foundation business' this would be a great proactive step! To continue that idea, if bulk updates to this sort of feature to a list of records also was feasible, this would greatly enhance our database management goals of keeping our records updated and 'clean'.

Pay Email Address for EFT Grant Notifications
When emailing grantees for Electronic Payments, there is the CC email field (which is great!) - it would be super helpful for this field to automatically pull in the Email from the grantee profile that is marked as "Pay". So that the email can automatically be sent to the grantee ED and the person who should be notified of payments.

Household opportunities should show on Individual profiles
When setting up a new opportunity for a household (example new fund solicitation or bequest expectancy), it would be helpful if the household's opportunity showed up under both individual parties' profiles as well.
