Boost donor engagement with updates to CommunitySuite’s donor management software

Sometimes, the simplest functionality can boost your impact by making things easier. Our team is dedicated to making client experiences easier, more impactful, and efficient – so you can focus on the impact and stop the repetitive manual data entry that makes most of us a little crazy.   

At Foundant, we continually seek to add functionality in CommunitySuite to help you improve relationships with donors. Some of our most recent and exciting updates include:   

  1. Alumni Designations  
  2. Outlook Integration  
  3. The Giving Hub  

      Alumni Designations  

      The new designation field will help staff better understand how different alumni groups interact with the foundation, providing insights to inform engagement strategies, marketing efforts, and fundraising initiatives.  

      Benefits:  
      • Simplified relationship management and fundraising for community college foundations and university foundations.  
      • A deeper understanding of how different alums interact with your foundation.  
      • In-depth insights to shape and improve your funding strategies.  
      • Create user-defined degrees, programs and activities list.

      Outlook Integration   

      Once Foundant for Outlook has been installed through our step-by-step instructions, the app will appear in your Outlook tool bar – check out these video instructions to learn how. From the app inside of Outlook, search for any name and add emails directly from your inbox to the notes inside of associated CommunitySuite profiles.   

      Benefits:   
      • You no longer have to leave one system to copy/paste email communications into another. Do it all right from your inbox and eliminate context switching.   
      • Easily add emails as notes to CommunitySuite profiles to improve your communications and relationship management.   
      • Increase visibility into your communications with donors and never miss a critical communication.   
      • Decreases the likelihood of mistakes due to manual entry in multiple systems.   

      Outlook integration for CommunitySuite is simple, yet powerful. Empower your donor management software to enhance relationships and build trust with tools meant to boost your impact.   

      The Giving Hub   

      The Giving Hub style page has also been updated and is live in all sites. Clients, if you have not updated your style page, your site will automatically transition to the default view. Learn more about what you can expect in this Foundant Portal and Giving Hub article.
