With Traditional Grant Management for Foundations

  • Multiple systems are inevitable

    Most online grant management solutions for foundations begin and end with application collection. Tracking, reviewers and logistics must be handled by hand, via email or on spreadsheets.

  • Look and feel is random

    Many grant solutions for foundations force applicants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This confuses users, and lowers the number of submissions.

  • Information is scattershot

    Who’s started an application? Who’s completed one? Which reviewers are finished? Which haven’t started? Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to tell. And if you’re not informed, you can’t make informed decisions.

With OpenWater Grant Management for Foundations

  • One system is all you need.

    With OpenWater Grants, all tasks – by application, reviewers, chairs and administrators – are handled in one unified, fully integrated solution.

  • Branding is Consistent

    When you use OpenWater Grants, our team creates a custom-branded upload portal that matches your existing website and visual identity. Users will know they’re in a place they can trust.

  • You’re always in the know

    OpenWater Grants’ advanced analytics capabilities eliminate confusion and simplify internal and external communication. Key reminders are sent automatically, and it’s easy to tell the status of any action item
