    I'm just joining this thread now but this has become one of our main challenges as we move through our granting cycles with Foundant. Lacking an ability to effectively evaluate followups is a glaring gap in the GLM process. We do a great job of receiving and analyzing applications, but if we are not able to effectively evaluate followups, I feel we are not doing our jobs well as philanthropists.

    Our work-around solution is similar to others - we have previously uploaded pdfs to Shared Documents for our evaluators to read and review. But it is a very clunky process.

    My respectful request is to please introduce the ability to evaluate followups which are linked to the original grant application. It would make our process move much smoother.

    Gratefully,

    This is a high priority for us. I am hopeful we can also assign our evaluators as reviewers of followups. Our purpose is not to approve/deny them, but just to be able to view the report back from the organization on the activity the reviewers initially approved. I think it is essential that the circle is completed and our reviewers can see the results of their approvals.
