What it is
Foundant CommunitySuite brings fund accounting, constituent records, donor portals, endowment and fee management, events, and online donations into one cloud platform. Foundant describes it as purpose-built for community foundations, and also identifies college and education foundations, family foundations, and faith-based community foundations as users. Accounting tools track endowed and non-endowed funds, pooled investment earnings, administrative fees, and spending policies. The CRM connects donors, advisors, grantees, and vendors with their interactions in individual constituent records. Donors can make recurring donations and print tax receipts; fund advisors can review balances and statements and submit grant recommendations through self-service portals. The system processes grants and scholarships itself or connects with Foundant’s lifecycle products for award payment and fund accounting. Reporting includes filtered financial reports, real-time spendable balances, batch fund statements, and performance and trend analytics. Listed integrations include Outlook, Power BI, Candid, Stripe, Mailchimp, Google Looker Studio, AlphaVantage, Salesforce, and Constant Contact, alongside an open API. It is available on the web and through an API. Pricing is provided after contacting Foundant about an organization’s needs.
