When your Fund Advisors login to their Fund Advisor Portal, they can see the details of any fund they advise. Fund Advisors who have the proper permissions and are logged in to their Fund Advisor Portals can make grant requests, approve grant requests, or give from the Fund(s) they advise.
To review and verify what each Fund Advisor has access to your system, Administrators can perform a "log in as" to see exactly what each Fund Advisor sees.
Login As
- Navigate to the Fund Advisors page and click the ID of the Fund Advisor you want to view.
- Click Login As in the left-side menu.
- You must have Admin permissions to do this, and the Fund Advisor must have previously logged in and created a password.
Tabs
If fund advisors have access to more than one fund, then their first task when signing into their fund advisor portal is to click the fund with which they want to interact. After that, the fund options are shown as tabs that can be clicked on for access.
Depending on fund setup and fund advisors' permissions, various tabs of information exist.
- Home - Shows a summary of the fund's balance, including spendable balance if applicable; advisors; and recent transactions.
- Choose Fund - Lists funds that the fund advisor has access to.
- Contributions - Shows all donations/money coming into the fund.
- Pledges - Lists the pledges/promises associated to the fund.
- Grants - Shows all grants going out from the fund.
- Historical grants can be copied by using the Copy button in the grant list.
- Grant Request - Contains a form that allows the fund advisor to make a grant request to a non-profit, a grantee, or a fund.
- If the Allow Additional Advisors setting is enabled within a fund, fund advisors can collaborate with each other on a grant request and specify which fund advisor specifically is making the request.
- If there is an additional individual that needs to be contacted throughout the grant process, then Additional Grantee Contacts can be added as a fund advisor submits the request.
