  • Just received a package of these caramels last week and shared them with the office....we are all obsessed now!! Best caramels I have ever had. Thank you so much for the awesome and delicious treat, Foundant Team 😊
  • Thanks so much for sharing, @KatyKeller! This is awesome and really helpful :D
  • Awesome, thank you so much, @KaraAdams! I will definitely be sure to share what we learn and come up with as we make our way through the process. Anyone else that happens to see this comment and has information or resources they can share, it would be greatly appreciated 😊
  • Hey, @KaraAdams - we are currently looking to start a hurricane relief grant and doing some research to pull things together. I came across this thread and really hoping to watch the webinar linked in the main post, but it is not working for me. Are you able to help with this? Thank you so much in advance!
  • Thanks so much, @KaraAdams! It was quite the event and most of last week was spent cleaning up and getting things back in order. Thankful we did not experience damage like the Coast did, but it was still quite significant in Central FL as areas saw upwards of 16" of rain...our community received 16.69" in just 24 hours!…
  • Welcome, @AnulikaOkpalor! So happy to have you part of the Foundant community :D what kind of music do you like? I am huge fans of Britney Spears, Rihanna, Tove Lo, and Halsey to name a few - but also going to a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert tonight - so a wide range of music for me. I loooove cooking and also try new…
  • Welcome, @JulissaMancilla! Great to have you part of the Foundant community. Wishing you the best of luck! But also, I am curious to know what kind of pup you have? I am a proud dog dad of 4 boys - Carolina Dog, 2 Rhodesian Ridgeback mixes, and a Bassett Hound/Blackmouth Cur mix. They are simply the best 😁 - dogs that is.
  • Thank you for asking this question, @jessicascites! This is probably the section of our application that applicants struggle most and have been working through ideas on how we can better capture anticipated outcomes. I appreciate @LaurieAbildso for her response...simple but effective. I hope others chime in to get other…
  • Welcome, @FaithMcDaniel! Such adorable fur babies you have...I am the proud dog dad of 4 amazing pups! They truly are the best 😍
  • I don't quite have the outline prepared yet, @ClaireOatey. We use WizeHive currently, but I have been working in the Foundant Sandbox and this will help me to build out those outlines since my hope is we will move to Foundant and need training around using their platform now. When I get this ball rolling I would love to…
  • Congrats, @MissyBelles! Love the pic of you and your adorable fur baby! Can we get Foundant to make some swag for our pups?! I would so have my pups rock a Foundant shirt 😁
  • That is so amazing, @KaraAdams! I will definitely take you up on that when we start building that out...which will be when we make our transition to Foundant at the end of the year. I am currently playing in the sandbox today and having lots of fun! Thank you so much :D Happy Friday and hoping you have an awesome weekend!
  • Really intriguing discussion and one I would like to follow. Hoping this thread gets some good responses. I am currently looking into developing training for our Board and staff who participate in the review and decision-making process. I am testing out Talent LMS to see how we can utilize an online platform to build out…
  • Welcome, @SidAnderson! Looking forward to working with you as well. I am curious to know what your favorite kind of wine is? I am big fans of Cabernet and Chardonnay. Cheers to your arrival!
  • Welcome, @Lyndsey_Thompson! We are lucky to have you part of the community based on your experiences and expertise - really looking forward to learning from you! Best of luck in your new adventure with Foundant!
  • Welcome, @RioWofford!
  • Welcome, @MelanieRuiz! So exciting to see another Knight here 😊 I graduated from UCF in 2015. Excited to have you part of the Compass community and wishing you the best of luck.
  • Really great questions! My answers are below. 1.) What financial documents do you require from applicants? We collect 990s, current operating budget, and program budgets for the program they are requesting funding for. 2.) How does that information factor into your review of funding requests? We use the 990s more so to…
  • Wow, I can't thank you enough, @ChiakaNwosu! This is incredibly helpful. I was drawing such a blank and don't know why I couldn't remember the term 'unduplicated people served' - this is data I definitely want to see. It would be interesting to see the demographic we are serving and if it is an underserved population or…
  • Hi, @ChiakaNwosu! Really great question! We ask on our applications if an applicant is receiving funding from other sources and to please list them out if they are. We do not use this against the applicant, our Board actually really likes to see funding come from other sources because it proves to them the program is…
  • Thank you so much, @RhondaReichert!! This is very helpful and a very good start for me to present to my manager and our Board. I don't want it to be the very thing that decides the outcome of a grant but more as a tool to guide discussion and comments regarding a request we receive. I am essentially trying to eliminate any…
  • Hi there, Just wanted to chime in because this is a really great discussion and something I have been thinking about revamping for our Foundation. We currently operate 2 grant cycles, a Spring and Fall cycle. We do not currently have an LOI process. Instead, we use an eligibility quiz at the beginning to determine if an…
  • Hi, @MarshaStrauss and Happy Tuesday! A lot of what you are doing sounds exactly what I am doing, minus the processing of gifts and getting the mail piece. My official job title is Grants Officer at my organization. I've always been curious about job titles for grant professionals because there are so many different ones…
