Important:
To ensure an import file gets uploaded successfully, please review your file to ensure:
column headers match the original template exactly
your file only contains one sheet
no formulas, formatting, or additional columns are present
Best practice is to use a fresh template and copy the data into it, once you are sure your data is ready.
Find the blank Recipient Page Fund Bullets template at the bottom of this article.

Click Continue. A new page will appear, with a link to download the blank file template:
Click the Download button (circled above). The blank template will download as an Excel file.
Fill out the template with the appropriate data, according to the column headers. DO NOT ALTER THE COLUMN HEADER NAMES. Also, do not add additional columns or additional sheets.
There should be one recipient per row. If a recipient received awards from more than one fund, create an additional row per fund.
Columns in this file are:
Fund ID: This is whatever ID you use in your system of record for your award recipient.
Bullet 1 - Bullet 5: The information you want to appear after each bullet. There is no character limit, but keep in mind the overall page size, so that text doesn't overflow into other areas. You don't need to add the bullet points themselves, they are added automatically.
Please note: Fund ID must exactly match the fund’s GLID in Balance.
