We are leaving the SAT/ACT on the application as an optional question. But the one scholarship I have that requires a minimum SAT/ACT score will be removing that criteria since most post-secondary ed programs are not mandating it. And it is near impossible to get the test in our community in the past year. I never liked…

@hankdrew Thanks for the heads up. I'll be more diligent about checking stripe. Bettie

Hi @ReneeCouser Thanks for asking this question! We've been talking about doing a similar donor survey. Update info, but also get better info on their preferences for contacts, listing donations, how they have engaged with the foundation, how they prefer to get information (mail, email, etc.) Thank you @elizabethmesserli…

@tamikafisher - I am fairly new to this also. But I think the branching needs to be done off of a question asked of the student. Not off an upload. So you would need to ask the student to report in a question field such as "What is (or Please provide here) the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) amount listed on your…

@RandMorgan Great post and thoughts. Congratulations on your new grandson - I hope you live close enough to see him and his parents! For me add on to the global/national upheavals, With: my husband had a minor brain bleed in February, and the end of May I woke up with a pinched nerve in my neck. But I am so thankful that…

Here is our Universal Application from last year also. I am in the process of tweaking some of the eligibility and branching for 2021. We identified some issues that just didn't work as smoothly as I'd thought (some language, some interpretation). And I've learned what to include in the Opportunities List. Overall, we were…

@VondaCarr Let us know how it goes! Bettie

@LisaDiehl , @VondaCarr Not so much about involved in legal action. But our grant process has an electronic signature and declarations that states: The Authorized undersigned hereby certifies that: 1) All the information contained in and submitted with this proposal is correct and submitted with the approval of the…

@robincowles We do have designated funds that have more than one organization - but those were set up with bequests. I haven't had a living donor set one up for current. But I don't see why not so long as their is a defined percentage of the income to go to each organization every year. So the Red Cross gets 50% and the…

Yes. That would make sense. We already do that - put the student name in the memo line. But I've heard of some places that actually make the check out to the school and student - so the student has to sign it also.

Thanks, @DanaBerggren ! I hadn't thought of it that way. It does make a lot of sense. We haven't done that in the past but I think willing to explore that for the future. I was also thinking during the webinar - if anyone had a deferral policy they'd be willing to share.

Thanks for sharing that @SammieHolzwarth . I am curious about #4 - Put the name of the student and the school on the disbursement check. Why both? We have put just the school name and include a statement and 'agreement' that the school signs with us states who it is for and how it is to be used. We also not that the…

@DarahMoore Bummer on the December You Fly We Buy event... But I understand. I look forward to hearing more. Meanwhile - I am with the Community Foundation of Greene County (Pennsylvania) - the southwest corner. So I'm always looking to meet up and connect with other community foundations, and other Foundant users. We have…

Actually they sort of have a poll function with the flags at the bottom. Except they don't have any don't agree ones. It might be nice.

@SarahBattersby Thank you so much. I listened with interest yesterday, but it is nice to see/hear some of the mechanics I may have missed while making notes. I will share this with my committee and board for consideration next year. I agree that an impact on helping students not only accessing post-secondary education, but…
