There have been dozens of grants made since the last published reports, much more than over the same period last year, both in numbers and dollar amounts.
Both LTFF and EAIF have received large amounts of funding recently, some of which has already been processed, and some of which hasn’t.
Thanks for clarifying Jonas. Glad to hear the funds have been making regular grants (which to me is much more important than whether they follow a specific schedule). But FYI the fund pages still refer to the Feb/Jul/Nov grant schedule, so probably worth updating that when you have a chance.
Re: the balances on the fund web pages, it looks like the “fund payout” numbers only reflect grants that have been reported but not the interim grants since the last report, is that correct? Do the fund balances being displayed also exclude these unreported grants (which would lead to higher cash balances being displayed than the funds currently have available)? Just trying to make sure I understand what the numbers on the funds’ pages are meant to represent.

Thanks, fixed!

Correct.

No, they don’t.
I can see that this is confusing. We will likely de-emphasize the fund balance (probably move it to the Stats page) because it’s hard to clarify what it means and people frequently read too much into it.
No, the EAIF and LTFF now have rolling applications: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/oz4ZWh6xpgFheJror/you-can-now-apply-to-ea-funds-anytime-ltff-and-eaif-only
