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.
