Top Bar

  • Search name… — find a funder by name

  • Filter by column — click any column header to sort or filter by that field (e.g., Funder, Website, Description, Location)

  • Items per page — adjust how many funders are displayed at once

  • + New funder — create a new funder profile

💡 Column filters make it easy to organize large lists of funders by region, type, or status.


Table of Funders

Each funder appears as a row in the table with these columns:

  • Funder — the organization’s name (click to open its profile)

  • Website — the funder’s official URL

  • Description — a short summary of the funder’s mission or focus

  • Location — where the funder is based or operates

💡 Clicking any column header sorts the table alphabetically or by most recent update.


Actions

From the Actions column (three dots menu):

  • Edit — update the funder’s information

  • Delete — permanently remove the funder from your workspace

💡 Deleting a funder removes its linked opportunities and people associations — proceed with care.


Inside a Funder Record

Click a funder’s name to open its detailed record. Each funder profile includes multiple sections:

Overview

Displays key information including:

  • Organization name

  • Website and contact details

  • Description or mission statement

  • Primary location

💡 Keep funder overviews brief but informative — this is your quick reference view when deciding alignment.


Linked Opportunities

Shows all opportunities connected to this funder.

  • Click any opportunity name to open its record.

  • You can add or remove linked opportunities directly from this section.

💡 Linking opportunities helps you see the full funding pipeline for each organization.


Linked People

Lists individuals associated with the funder (e.g., program officers, contact persons).

  • Add names, titles, and contact information.

  • Use this list to track relationship-building and correspondence.

💡 These are not your workspace members — they’re external contacts associated with the funder.


Notes

A freeform text space to record insights, relationship history, deadlines, or eligibility reminders.

💡 Use notes collaboratively to capture what your team learns from calls, emails, or meetings.


Activity Feed

Tracks recent changes or interactions related to the funder — such as updates, new linked opportunities, or added notes.

💡 The activity feed helps maintain shared context across your team, especially in multi-person fundraising efforts.


Key takeaway: The Funders Area is your central directory for every grantmaking organization you work with. Each funder record brings together its details, related opportunities, contacts, notes, and activity history — giving your team a complete, living picture of your funding relationships.
