What's New in GrantsConnect

Organization admins in Blackbaud ID can now enable all current and future generative AI features powered by Blackbaud AI with one global setting. If you don’t opt in, your organization remains opted out by default.

After your organization opts in, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Account Manager to update the AI settings on your GrantsConnect account.

Tip: For details, see Opt In to Generative AI Features Globally. For full release details, see What's New - GrantsConnect Release 2.158.0.

Grant managers can now report on the date an application's most recent payment cleared. The new Last Payment Cleared Date field is available wherever Last Payment Date is available, including ad hoc reports and form report fields. In dashboards, you can also group by month and year.

Unlike Last Payment Date, which reflects when a payment record was created, the new field reflects when payments cleared. It uses the latest cleared date across an application's active, cleared payments. If a cleared payment has no cleared date, the date of its latest status change is used instead. Voided and refunded payments are not counted. If no payment qualifies, the field is blank.

Note: Last Payment Date is unchanged. If a form currently displays Last Payment Date, select the new field to show the cleared date instead.

Grant managers can now see the payment notes for each payment on the Awards tab of a nonprofit's profile. This helps you understand the purpose of each grant at a glance, without opening the individual record or running a separate report.

Note: Long notes are shortened. Hover over a note to see the full text.
