Thanks, you’re corect—they say they publish almost every grant, and have detailed explanations of most, but that some have less detail, and some are delayed due to sensitivity or undermining the purpose of the grant. See here, and especially the bolded points in the quote below:
”...we have stopped the practice of writing in detail about every grant that we make. We plan to continue to write in detail about many of them. We will try to focus on those that are especially representative of our thinking and strategy, or otherwise seem like they would be interesting and helpful to discuss.
In most cases, when we do not produce a detailed writeup on a grant, we will still include the grant in our database with basic information about the date, amount and recipient, and a link to the relevant focus area so people can understand what broader goals the grant supports.
In some cases, even basic information about a grant (date, amount, recipient) could constitute sensitive information, for reasons including:
It might reveal our tactical approach to a contested issue, helping people with directly opposing goals anticipate our and our grantees’ actions.
It might pose a serious risk of misinterpretation, and explaining our reasoning might be difficult and time-consuming.
It might pose a risk of exposing us to active harassment from people who oppose our goals.
In these cases, we will generally delay publishing basic information about the grant until and unless we have settled on a good strategy for communicating about it. We expect these cases to be rare.”
