OpenWater earned 10 badges in G2’s Fall 2026 reports, including Leader recognition in awards and scholarship management and new honors in grant management.
The G2 Fall 2026 reports are out, and OpenWater has earned recognition across Awards Management, Scholarship Management, and Grant Management.
These badges are based on customer satisfaction and market presence, making them a meaningful reflection of the experiences clients have using OpenWater to manage their application and review programs.
OpenWater’s Fall 2026 G2 badges
OpenWater was named a Leader in the Awards Management Grid® Report, as well as the Small-Business and Mid-Market Awards Management Grid® Reports.
Additional recognition included:
- Leader in Small-Business Scholarship Management
- Momentum Leader and High Performer in Scholarship Management
- High Performer in Grant Management and Small-Business Grant Management
- Highest User Adoption in Grant Management
- Users Love Us
We’re particularly proud to be recognized across awards, scholarships, and grants. These programs have different goals, but the teams managing them often face similar challenges: complicated applications, time-consuming reviews, repetitive communications, and information spread across multiple systems.
OpenWater brings those processes together in one configurable platform. Organizations can collect applications, coordinate reviewers, automate communications, track progress, and report on results without relying on disconnected forms, spreadsheets, and inboxes.
The Highest User Adoption badge is especially meaningful because powerful software only delivers value when people can successfully put it to work. The Users Love Us badge is equally important, reflecting feedback from the people who use OpenWater to support their programs every day.
Thank you to our clients who shared their experiences on G2. Your feedback helps other organizations make informed software decisions and helps our team continue improving OpenWater.
We’re proud of these Fall 2026 results and even prouder of the important work our clients accomplish through the programs OpenWater helps power.
