UPCOMING COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FUND ADVISOR PORTAL TRANSITION

The Community Foundation is transitioning to a new back-office software provider to improve all aspects of our operations. As part of this new software adoption, we will also be rolling out a new and improved portal for our donors and fund advisors in the upcoming weeks. This new portal will provide an enhanced fund management experience for you and allow us to support your work more fully.

FOR FUND ADVISORS - we'll be reaching out soon with more details regarding timing and steps to take. In the meantime, please be sure to reach out to your Relationship Manager with any questions and thanks for your patience and cooperation during this period of transition!

FOR CURRENT GRANTEE PORTAL USERS - We encourage you to pull down all historical grant information (e.g. past applications) and store it securely before May 31st as this is when you’ll lose access to the current Grantee Portal and any documents being stored there.
