GOFUND ADMIN GUIDE
GOfund is akoyaGO’s donor portal product. Fund holders and donors can use GOfund to view their fund statement, see their grant history, or make a grant recommendation. GOfund has functionality in akoyaGO CRM and as a user interface (UI). The CRM side is for foundation staff only. Fund holders and donors will interact with the UI.
getting started
To have an active GOfund account, you need to have at least one active fund connection and the proper role and permissions set.
Make sure you are in the Fund Management workplace, then select the Funds entity. From the Fund, click Fund Connections. Then click +New Connection.
F
A New Connection form will open with the Fund populated.
Search for the Contact record to fill in the Name field. Results can be mixed across entities. To ensure you are pulling in the correct contact (and not a user), you can filter the record type to Contact. Note, the Contact must have a valid email address before the connection can be created.
From the Name field:
Click on the magnifying glass and select “All Records.” Click on the “Results from ## Record types,” then select Contact. If you select anything other than a Contact record, the system will not allow you to save.
Next, click into the As this role field and select Donor Portal Access (GOfund). The second “As this role” field will auto-fill as Fund.
Upon selecting the Donor Portal Access role, a Donor Portal Access subgrid will appear with the role’s permissions sets. Here you can choose the access level for an individual GOfund user.
- Fund Profile Update Access: If Yes, the user will have the ability to edit the information in the Fund Profile.
- Grant Submission Access: If Yes, the user will have the ability to submit grant recommendations.
- View Fund Statement: If Yes, the user will have the ability to view the fund statement and see particulars
- Grant History Access: If Yes, the user will be able to view the Fund’s Grant History in the Fund Summary and in the Grant History from the top menu.
- Gift History Access: If Yes, the user will be able to view the Fund’s Gift History in the Fund Summary and in the Gift History from the top menu.
- Document Access: If Yes, the user will have access to any documents uploaded to that fund and site-wide documents. If No, the user will not have access to document uploaded to that fund, but will still be able to see documents uploaded in GOfund Settings if the Enable Documents setting is set to Yes.
Make sure to fill in a Start Date. Start Date is required before saving a Fund Connection. End Date and Description are not required. You may choose a start date in the future. The GOfund email invite will be sent on the date that you choose in Start Date (via a workflow called GOfund Daily Invitation Check). When the GOfund invite is sent, the GOfund Email Sent field will populate with the date. When you are satisfied with your Fund Connection, click Save or Save and close.
Please note: it could take up to twenty minutes to see your funds in GOfund.
GOFUND EMAIL INVITE
Once your connection is established, the user will receive one of two emails.
- If they are a first time GOfund user, they will get an email inviting them to create their GOfund account. In that case the user would follow the link in the email, create their password, and log in.
- If they are an established GOfund user who has just been connected to a new fund, they will get an email alerting them to the fact that a new fund had just been added to their account.
You can also select multiple connections to bulk-send the invite email.
The new user will get an email with a link included. The link will be active for 90 days. They should click the link and set up a password.
If a donor tries to click the invitation link after already registering their account, they will be prompted to access the login page. They should click the Login link.
This email lives as a template in your advanced settings. You can edit the image and text there.
Please note: If the Foundation Staff Contact field on the Fund is blank, the sender will fall back on the person listed in the GOfund Settings as the Foundation User.
If a donor's invitation link has expired, they will be directed to a page with a button that will allow them to resend the email with the invitation link. They should click the Resend Invite button and use the link in the new email to register their account.
For Simultaneous Fundweb/GOfund clients
If your organization is running FundWeb and GOfund concurrently, (for example, if you are transitioning off of FundWeb and onto GOfund) when you create a Donor Portal Connection, it will create a draft of the GOfund invite email that you will need to manually send the email. You will send this email from the Contact’s Activities, found in the timeline on that record
For GOapply Users with a New Fund Connection
If you have GOfund users who are also GOapply users, they can log in with the same credentials to GOfund as GOapply. When a new Donor Portal Access connection is created, they will get an email relaying this information.
Contacts that have existing fund connections, but are added to additional funds, will get an email notifying them that a new fund has been added to their account. The fund connection set up acts as the trigger for the email.
Deactivate a fund connection to remove the fund from the user’s available funds in GOfund.
If you’ve forgotten your password, click the Forgot password link on the sign in page and enter the email address you use to log in to GOfund.
You will receive an email with a link to reset your password. Click the link and follow the prompts.
If a GOfund user needs to update the email address that is connected to GOfund, simply go to their Contact record and update the email address. You will see a popup alerting you to the fact that changing this will change their GOfund access.
Once the record is saved, the user can log in with the updated email address immediately.
Impersonate a Donor
Foundation staff have the ability to impersonate a donor in GOfund. This is useful for donors who wish to bypass the donor portal.
This functionality is only available to foundation staff who belong to the proper security groups. If you need access to impersonate please ask your IT person, or your designated admin user. The proper security group is called GOmanager Users and can be found in the “Teams & Groups” section of your Office 365 Admin site. If you need assistance adding users to this group, please contact akoyaGO Support at (support@akoyago.com).
Impersonation starts in the Connection record. Navigate to the Connections entity and choose the connection that represents the donor and the fund they wish to work from. (Double-click on a blank space of the record, not link text. Clicking on a name or fund number will lead you to those specific records.)
From within the Connection record, drop down GOfund from the top toolbar and select Impersonate.
A new window will open where you can sign in as the user. Click Sign In.
Next, you’ll be logged into GOfund as that user and will be able to access everything the user can in GOfund. **This includes taking actions that may result in payment records being created. Use with caution.
GOfund Logs
Each GOfund user’s activity will be recorded and stored in akoyaGO CRM.
In the Activities entity, filter on Activity Type for GOfund Logs to see all GOfund activity. If you are looking for information to a specific user, their GOfund activity will also appear in the timeline of their Contact record.
GOfund usage metrics can also be found in a Dashboard called GOfund Usage Metrics.
GOfund Invites utilize the statuses of Created, Sent, In Progress, and Completed.
- Created - Invite is created
- Sent - Invite email has been sent
- In Progress - Invite link has been clicked but user did not complete onboarding
- Completed - User has completed onboarding (submitted a password)
GOfund settings
In the Tools workplace, there is an entity called GOfund Settings. This is where you will set up GOfund sites and where foundation staff can edit their GOfund page. This entity will only be visible to akoyaGO CRM users with an Admin or System Customizer security role.
General settings
Double-click on the GOfund Settings record. There should only be one settings record available.
At the top of the record, you will see the following settings:
Enable Fund Statement: Toggle to Yes or No. This feature works in conjunction with the GOfund settings in Department. Users will be able to view their fund statement if Enable Fund Statement = Yes in both places.
Foundation User: this is a lookup to User. The user listed in this field will be the “From” email in emails to go out from GOfund. This is also the person whose name and email address will be listed in the Foundation Staff Contact section of GOfund if the Fund does not have a Foundation Staff Contact assigned.
Enable Fund Details as start page: If Yes, Home page will not be visible or accessible. Donors will be taken to the Fund Details page upon logging in. If No, Home page will be visible and accessible.
Enable Documents: If Yes, users will be able to view Fund Documents. This setting works in conjunction with a permission setting in fund connection record (page 4). If Enable Documents = No, no users will be able to view documents, regardless of document location, or their permissions in their fund connection record.
Fund Statement Start Date: set a date here if you do not want GOfund users to be able to run fund statements before a certain date.

Fund Statement End Date: set a date here if you do not want GOfund users to be able to run fund statements after a certain date. Leave blank if you do not want to set parameters on the fund statement. This setting will apply to all funds on the site and will default to YTD. Note that if this date preceeds the current year, the Fund Statement Start Date (if not specified) will default to the first day of the year of the end date. For example, if today's date is 3/15/2024 and I set the Fund Statement End Date to 12/31/2023 and leave the Fund Statement Start Date blank, the Fund Statement Start Date will default to 1/1/2023 in the Fund Statement.

Donations
IMPORTANT: Before enabling donation acceptance in GOfund, make sure to set up a Stripe account for your organization. Follow the steps in the Stripe setup whitepaper available on GOsupport.
After your stripe account is set up, you can enable donations in GOfund by toggling on the Enable Donations setting. When on, the GOfund user will see a Donate button in the Fund Summary.
Donation Complete Html: Design your donation complete message that the user sees.
Uploading a document to GOfund Settings makes it visible to all GOfund users, if the Enable Documents settings = Yes in GOfund Settings.
Department GOfund Settings
Department also contains GOfund settings. Navigate to the Departments entity in the Tools workplace. Select a department, and click the GOfund tab.
These settings will override the general GOfund settings where applicable. If these settings are blank, your GOfund site will default to the main GOfund settings.
These settings will apply to the funds that live inside the department.
Navbar Logo: This determines the image in the top left corner of the screen and the logo set here will override the logo from your GOfund Settings when navigating within a fund that belongs to that department.
Enable Fund Statement: This setting works in conjunction with the setting of the same name in GOfund Settings. If both settings = Yes, users who have the View Fund Statement permission will be able to view their fund statement.

Header Text: This is subject to the header text alert type and will display under the Header Text in GOfund Settings.
Footer Text: This is not subject to the alert type and will display above the Footer Text in GOfund Settings.
Fund Statement format
In each Fund record, a field exists called Fund Statement Format. Please be aware that the fund statement layout selected in this field will determine the layout of the fund statement in GOfund. If you do not put any information in the ‘Fund Statement Format’ field, the fund statement shown in the Donor Portal will be the default fund statement in Business Central.
For more information, please see the Fund Statement Layout whitepaper.
GOfund UI
GOfund UI is the interface that the donors and fundholders will interact with.
Upon logging in, GOfund will present its home page (if enabled). Fund selection, Grant History, and the Newsfeed will be shown on the Home page. Also seen will be the hero image, header text, and footer text according to your GOfund Settings.
Across the top of the page will be menu options such as Home, Grant History, Gift History, and FAQ. Selecting a fund could potentially change these options depending on the permissions you have for that fund.
When navigating GOfund, we recommend that you start by selecting a Fund. Doing so allows the site to show you relevant information for the fund you are interacting with.
On the home page, contact information can be seen on the left-hand side. Before a Fund is selected, this information is determined by the Organization through the Interfund Payee/Payor field in your Accounting Settings (found in the Tools workplace.)
After a fund is selected, contact information (name, email, and phone number) is determined by the Foundation Staff Contact field on the fund. If that field is empty, the contact information will be pulled from the Foundation Contact field in GOfund Settings. Please note that the address listed under Foundation Staff Contact will always be the address from the donor listed as the Interfund Payee/Payor in accounting settings. The phone number listed will be the Main Phone field in the User record.
Upon selecting a fund, you will be directed to its Fund Summary page. The Fund Summary page will show you the Fund Type, Fund Balance, Spendable Balance, and Pending amount. The pending amount is based on a calculated field on fund called Requests Pending (Request Activity tab). Below that, you’ll find recent grants from and recent gifts to the fund. The Fund Summary page also includes pending recommendations/submissions (requests for the fund where status = Pending) and scheduled distributions if applicable. These sections show the most top three most recent entries regardless of date. So, if your fund has not had a gift or request payment in five years, that will still be reflected in the Recent Grant Payments and Recent Contributions section even if the entries were not technically “recent”. You can also click View Fund Statement to pull up a PDF of the fund statement. When the subgrid does not contain data, it will be hidden from the page. For example, if the fund has no scheduled distributions, that subgrid will not be visible.
The Documents button in the fund summary will take you to the documents for that specific fund. To view all fund documents or site-wide documents, click the Documents option in the top menu.
You can hide the spendable balance on a fund-by-fund basis. On the Fund form, there is a field called Hide Spendable Balance in GOfund in the Spendable Allotment Settings section. This is a Yes/No field. If Yes, the Spendable Balance will be hidden from the Fund Summary.
Primary fund Donor vs. Primary fund Contact
At the top of the Fund Summary page you will see the Primary Fund Donor. This corresponds to the Primary Fund Donor field in the CRM Fund record.
If the Primary Donor is blank in the CRM Fund record, the fund’s primary contact will be listed, which corresponds to the Primary Contact field in the Fund record.
Click on the pencil icon next to the fund name to view or edit the fund details. Editable fields include the formal fund name, the anonymity status, and the purpose. The fund name, fund code, fund type, fund class, endowed, and established date are not editable.
FUND STATEMENT
The fund statement can be run from the fund summary page or from its top menu option. On opening the fund statement, the date range will default to the current year-to-date unless otherwise specified in GOfund settings. Change the date range and click Apply Filter to see the new range.
Fund statements can also be run as a group if the fund is a member of a fund group. Fund group is determined in the CRM, in the fund form. Check the box "Run the Fund Statement as a Combined Statement for all funds in the fund group" to see the consolidated statement. NOTE: The logged in user must have a GOfund connection to all the funds in the group to be able to run the consolidated fund statement.
Recommend a Grant
To recommend a grant, first select a fund. Then, click Recommend a Grant from the top menu or the button next to the fund name. A form will appear if you have the proper fund permissions.
Upon opening the form, you will see two fields:
Fund Name: this will populate with the fund you have selected. If you want to recommend a grant for a different fund, select the new fund from the dropdown then click Recommend a Grant again.
Would you like to grant to: choose Organization or Established Fund. If you choose Organization, a form will appear with fields for recommending a grant to an organization. Follow the instructions below for granting to an organization. If you are granting to a fund, skip to the top of the next page.
Recommending to an organization
Organization Name: Choose the grant recipient from the list. This list is determined by a system view on Constituent called GOfund Grant Recommendation Eligible Constituents. Admins can edit this view to filter the organizations listed. Type to search the list. Search includes the AKA field on constituent. If users don’t see the organization they want in the list, they can Create new organization (if applicable) and fill in the new form. When a user creates a new organization, it is created as a constituent in your akoyaGO CRM. Likewise for the contact at that organization. Users can also select Charity Search (if applicable) if the organization they want to give to isn't in the list. Choosing this option will search by name the list of IRS or CRA organizations. We recommend using this option over Create New as Charity Search will pull the information from the appropriate governing body.
Choose Select on the organization.
Using CRA search will create a new Constituent and run GOverify.
Amount: Enter the dollar amount, be mindful of the minimum amount. Also be mindful of the fund’s spendable amount. If your recommended grant amount is greater than the fund’s spendable, you will be unable to submit the grant recommendation. The amount entered here will populate the Request Amount field on the Request record in CRM. Amount does not have to be a whole number, cents are allowed to the tenth place.
Timing of grant: choose from the dropdown (ASAP, on a specific date, or on a recurring basis). Please note that for the ASAP and Specific options, they will map to the Posting Date and the Est. Grant Pay Date on the Payment record.
- Issue this grant upon foundation approval = Today’s date
- Specified = Choose a date
- Recurring = Scheduled Distribution
Grant Type: Choose General Operating/Unrestricted or Restricted. If Restricted, an additional field called Purpose will appear.
Purpose of grant: describe the purpose of the grant, this field is required and maps to the Purpose field in the Project tab of Request. If the User chose General Operating/Unrestricted as the Grant Type, then that is what will appear in the purpose field.
Upload a file: This field is optional, click Choose File to choose from your local drive. This file will appear in the timeline of the request in akoyaGO CRM. Documents (including submission pdf) can be found in the request timeline, and in the Documents tab of Request. An automated flow moves attachments to your SharePoint site.
Please issue this grant anonymously: check the box if you want the grant payment to be anonymous. If anonymous = yes, anonymity in the Payment record will equal yes.
Verification text: check to acknowledge, this is required.
Workflow: Grant Recommendation Acknowledgement
After recommending a grant, the recommender will get an email confirmation. This email is sent via an automatic workflow called Send email to Grant Recommender. This is a workflow that, with your GOfund Project Manager, you will tailor to you and your donors' needs. It is triggered when the field GOfund Recommender contains data on create of a request. The email will not send if this field is backfilled after the request is created.
IMPORTANT: the trigger for this workflow is that the GOfund Recommender field on request contains data. It will send to the email address collected for that donor. Please keep in mind that this logic extends to requests not created from GOfund, for example, if someone on your staff creates a request manually or via quick create and fills in the GOfund Recommender field, that contact will get an email.
Recommending to an Established Fund
Would you like to grant to: choose Established Fund
Gift Fund: choose from the list of funds. This list is populated by the GOfund Funds view in akoyaGO CRM.
Amount: dollar amount, please be mindful of the minimum required amount. Amount does not have to be a whole number, cents are allowed to the tenth place.
Date Requested: the date input here will map to the Interfund Grant Date in the Interfund record in CRM
Purpose of Grant: the text input here will map to the grant and gift purpose fields in the Interfund record in CRM.
Verification text: check to acknowledge, this is required
Click submit to send your grant recommendation to the foundation. You’ll be redirected to a page where you can choose to recommend another grant or go back to the Fund Summary page. Click an option or navigate to a different area using the top menu. Grant recommendations that have NOT been processed (sent to accounting) will maintain the Folio/Payment Status of Recommended.
For foundation staff, recommended grants will appear in the Requests entity as a Pending grant request. Interfund grant recommendations will be created as Interfund Grants, and once those are processed and sent to accounting they will appear in the Requests entity.
PDFs of submissions and any files that were attached to the recommendation will appear in the Documents tab of the Request.
In the CRM, the interfund grant has a field called Grant Recommender that will populate with the contact record of the user who submitted the recommendation.
Email confirmation: The recommender will get an email confirmation, but only after the foundation processes the interfund.
Foundation Staff Email Notification: There is a workflow called GOfund - Internal Notification for Interfund Grant Recommendation in your akoyaGO system that will need to be activated and edited but, once active, will send an email to a designated staff person every time an Interfund Grant is recommended. The body of the email can be edited to suit your needs, but out of the box it will contain a link to the interfund record, the grant recommender, amount, the gift and grant funds, and the purpose.
Exclude/Include Funds
The funds that appear in the list when a user recommends a grant to a fund come directly from a view in CRM called GOfund Interfund Funds.
To include or exclude funds, edit the filters on this view.
For example, to exclude a single fund, you’d add a condition that the fund name does not equal the fund that you want to exclude.
To exclude all non-endowed funds, for example, you’d add a condition where endowed equals true.
All GOfund Requests View
In the Requests entity, you have a system view called All GOfund Requests that shows all requests created from GOfund.
Grant/Gift History
Upon opening Grant/ Gift History, the date range will automatically be filtered to the year-to-date.
Grant History is based on a view in akoyaGO on Payments and Requirements called GOfund Grant History. Gift History is based on a view in akoyaGO on Gift Payments called GOfund Gift History. You can edit these views, however, the Gift History view MUST contain “Fund” as a column or else it will cause errors for GOfund users.
In the Grant and Gift History pages, users can select multiple funds (if they have multiple fund connections), specify a Grant Recipient, and change the date filters. If they want to clear their filters and reset the screen back to how it was when they navigated to it, they can click Reset. Upon clicking reset, the Fund Name filter may clear entirely, in this case, the results will show all grant or gift history for all the funds they are connected to for the current year to date.
Users can also see the fund's grant or gift history by clicking See Full Grant History or See Full Gift History from the Fund Summary page.
From there, you can select a grant recipient, change the Fund, and set the start and end dates. Click Apply Filter to see the data.
Export Gift/Grant History
Once in the gift/grant history page, GOfund users can export gift and grant history to Excel. Adjust the filters as desired and click Export Excel.
Expanded Gift History View: In order to support this functionality, we added a view in the Gift Payments entity called “GOfund Gift Export View”. The distinction being that the view contains columns for the donor’s address fields. When the user exports the gift history, the export will use the columns in this view.
Click Repeat Grant in a grant or gift history view to create a new grant with the same Fund, Payee, and Amount. Fill in the rest of the form as needed. This functionality works for interfunds, too.
Documents
Clicking the menu option Documents will show the user all documents for any/all funds that the user has document permission on, plus any site-wide documents uploaded from the GOfund settings.
There is also a Documents button in each Fund's fund summary page, this button will show the user the documents specific to that fund.
For uploading fund-specific documents, first you will need to go into your SharePoint site and add a subfolder to the fund folder called “GOfund Documents”. This folder name is case sensitive, make sure it is formatted exactly as written in the previous sentence.
After this folder is created, you can add documents from the Fund record in CRM. And be careful to not add anything that should not be seen by GOfund users into the GOfund Documents folder. Documents you don’t want to be seen by GOfund users can be added to the overall fund folder.
FAQ
This is the area you set up in FAQ page of the GOfund Settings.
Donations in GOfund
User experience
The following will be the user experience of donating in GOfund.
In the Fund Summary, click Donate.
A dialogue box will appear. Enter the amount (no dollar sign) and choose whether this donation will be unrestricted or a designated purpose. If designated purpose, you will be prompted to enter a purpose. Purpose is required.
If this gift is in memory/honor, click Add dedication. The form will expand to include memory/honor fields. Choose in honor or in memory, enter the person’s name and address. Click Continue.
Select the donor that is giving this gift.
If you don’t see the donor you want in the dropdown, click Add new donor and fill in the form accordingly.
Check out. Enter your credit or debit card information and click Complete Donation.
Donation processing
Once a donation is completed, it becomes a GOdonate transaction record. GOdonate transactions is an entity that lives in the Donor Management
A successful donation will have a status of Completed and a Payment Status of succeeded.
The GOdonate transaction will also contain the dedication fields if applicable.
When a GOdonate transaction is created, a gift and gift payment are also created.
The gift record will populate a lookup field in the GOdonate transaction record.
The gift record is created automatically through a workflow, but in the case the workflow fails, you can run it manually in the Flow drop down at the top toolbar.
From here, process the gift payment as you normally would.
