Hi Laurel, Here are a few of the Custom Reports that I run regularly to keep on top of things: Service Area Grant Type I run these Custom Reports to clean up the discrepancies that Stripe leaves once donations enter the database from outside donors: Salutations Prefixes (people often don't know the difference between a…

We have just introduced an AI Policy. However, it addresses staff use of AI tools and essentially allows for the use of AI but all generated work must be reviewed by humans before being launched publicly.

Hi @MaximilianEyle, I am building the catalogue in CommunitySuite. The HTML is being used in the Headers and Project Descriptions. Once the catalogue is complete we use the weblink provided by CSuite to display on our website. My HTML skills are fairly basic and I leave the webpage building to our Communications team.…

I agree Kathleen! This catalogue is incredible. I'm going to talk to our team about producing something similar next year. It's so great to have the award criteria listed out like this. 🤩

We have fairly uneven results with our guidance counsellor outreach. Some have our application links plastered all over their websites and social media handles, others ignore us. New for us this year was to send weekly reports to the schools letting them know which students had applied for which awards. We also highlighted…
