Making a grant from DonorCentral
I like to suggest an update to DonorCentral. We have a number of donors who do not find the new site user friendly for making grants to organizations they have supported in the past. Currently on the home screen you can make a grant to the 10 most recent organizations you’ve granted to in the past, however many of our donors do significantly more than 10 grants a year. So, the ideal situation would be to allow for more than 10 grants be available to make a grant from the home screen. Given that space may be a concern, another alternative would be to make a hyperlink from the fund summary page where you can list 100 or more of your grants. The current option available is recurring grants, however, we believe there is not significant information provided to us (the community foundation) for our records and to do proper due diligence. If additional fields could be added to the email confirmation for recurring grants which include fund name, donor name and organization contact information (much like a “regular”, “non-recurring” grant) that would be extremely helpful.
Impact: It would address our donor concerns for user friendliness of the site.
This is on our roadmap for the new DonorCentral.
This is along the lines of the idea which I posted as well - a 'regranting' option for a number of grants (rather than doing each one and having to go back and find their grants list between each one).
