I think the LTFF will publish a payout report for grants through ~December in the next few weeks. As you suggest, we’ve been delayed because the number of grants we’re making has increased substantially so we’re pretty limited on grantmaker capacity right now (and writing the reports takes a somewhat substantial amount of time).
I like IanDavidMoss’s suggestion of having a simpler list rather than delaying (and maybe we could publish more detailed justifications later)-- I’ll strongly consider doing that for the payout report after this one.
Maybe a good compromise would be to publish a complete list generated from relevant fields in the grants database every couple of months (redacting recipients who requested not to have their grant publicized), and then we’d all have an opportunity to ask for elaboration or other questions in the comments each time. This way the time invested in providing (the equivalent of) “reports” on each grant would be better targeted toward the cases that the community is most interested in/uncertain about, which should be a small minority of the grants made.
