You should use jsonMap. You should also look at jqGrid wiki and this specific topic. You can try something like this:

colNames:['Children','ID', 'Properties', 'Other','Sponsor'],
colModel: [
    {name:'children',width:100, jsonmap:"children.0", formatter: function (cellvalue) { return cellvalue.children }},
    {name:'objectId',width:100, jsonmap:"children.0", formatter: function (cellvalue) { return cellvalue.objectType }},
    {name:'properties',width:100, jsonmap:"children.0", formatter: function (cellvalue) { return cellvalue.properties.objectId }},
    {name:'other',width:100, jsonmap:"children.0", formatter: function (cellvalue) { return cellvalue.properties.other[0] }},
    {name:'sponsor',width:100, jsonmap:"children.0", formatter: function (cellvalue) { return cellvalue.properties.sponsor }}
    // and so on...
],

This is obviously not the best approach because you'll have to know how many records you have on your JSON and do it manually for each one. Actually, I don't know how you could make it automatically, but as I said, if you look out for jsonMap on jqGrid wiki you'll probably find what you want. Best of luck!
