Welcome to The Columbus Foundation's
Fund Portal Resource Center

The Columbus Foundation has transitioned to a technology platform designed to further strengthen our provision of service, community information, and financial reporting to you. The Fund Portal is for individuals who manage funds in partnership with The Columbus Foundation.

The Fund Portal launched on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. If you are an authorized fund contact and need to set up access, please contact us at donorservices@columbusfoundation.org.

GETTING STARTED

 

Change can be challenging, but our team is here to help you navigate the new Fund Portal and its functionality. Below, we’ve outlined a four-step process to get you started. As you explore, we understand you may still have questions or need assistance. To further aid you, we’ve created an additional quick reference guide and other resources, which can be found here.

 

STEP 1:

ESTABLISH YOUR PASSWORD

 

On Wednesday, April 17, fund contacts received an email from The Columbus Foundation (from the domain no-reply@fcsuite.com). Follow the instructions to set up your password. Your username is your email address in all lowercase letters. The password requirements will be clearly outlined when you create your login.

STEP 2:

ACCESS THE PORTAL

 

Access the portal anytime by visiting columbusfoundation.org and clicking LOGIN (located in the upper right-hand corner of website). Enter your username and password. If you have access to multiple funds, you will select which fund you’d like to review after logging in.

STEP 3:

TAKE A LOOK AROUND

 

Your Fund Portal landing page provides an at-a-glance summary of your fund, including the current balance and an overview of grants and contributions. 

STEP 4:
USE THE FUND PORTAL

 

From the tabs on your Fund Portal landing page, you can suggest a grant, review contributions and recent grants made from your fund, and access fund statements when available.

FAQs

What if I didn’t receive an email to set up access to a new account?

First, check your spam or junk folder for an email from The Columbus Foundation with the domain “no-reply@fcsuite.com.” If you still don’t see it, please contact us at donorservices@columbusfoundation.org so that we can re-send the information you will need to get started.

The URL in my email only worked one time. How do I login now?

The custom URL in the initial email you received should only be used once to establish your account. After you create a password, you can log in anytime at columbusfoundation.org by clicking on the LOGIN button in the upper right corner of the homepage. 

What happens if I get locked out of my Fund Portal or can’t remember my password?

Once you have entered an incorrect password ten times, your account will be locked for security purposes. If you are locked out, click Forgot Password on the login page. Enter your username and click the Reset Password button. If a user account is found, you will receive instructions via email on how to reset your password. 

 

Please note that The Columbus Foundation staff does not have access to your password information. If you are still having trouble, contact donorservices@columbusfoundation.org.

Where can I find my old information?

Your Fund Portal will include the same up-to-date information as our previous system. If you are looking for historical fund statements or tax receipts, please reach out to your Donor Services Advisor or email donorservices@columbusfoundation.org.
