It wouldn’t surprise me if there was no good way to speed up grantmaking, given the existing constraints. If that’s true, I’d love to shift the system to something that recognizes that and plans around it (through bridge loans, or big enough grants that people can plan around delays, or something that looks more like employment), rather than hope that next year is the year that will be different for unspecified reasons.
