OpenWater Grant Management
OpenWater Grant Management gives grantmaking organizations tools to manage applications, review rounds, communications, and program data. A drag-and-drop form builder supports conditional logic and file attachments of any size. Reviewers can access submissions assigned to them and submit scores through multi-round workflows. Dashboards track decisions and reports, while fund tracking records amounts, payment dates, and program budgets. Reporting and analytics help administrators examine program data and monitor outreach and follow-ups. OpenWater lists more than 65 integrations across association management, CRM, directory, and payment gateway products, including iMIS, Salesforce, Higher Logic, Stripe, and PayPal. Safeguards include SSO, app encryption, two-factor authentication, CAPTCHA, password strength requirements, and GDPR support options; integrated payment gateways must be PCI-compliant. Submission pages are mobile-responsive, administrative and review functions are available through the OpenWater app, and the platform supports WCAG compliance. It is designed for grant administrators at foundations, government agencies, associations, and higher education institutions—not grant recipients. Pricing is available by request and varies by usage. Recommendation requests are not supported directly within the platform.
