The application is a post, the decision is a reply, and the grant is that same reply.

Solutions

Grant processes are slow in ways that mostly protect the funder. At these amounts the protection is not worth the delay it buys. Deciding in public and paying in the same breath means people get money in minutes rather than quarters, and the fund’s whole history — who asked, who was picked, what they got — is readable by anyone thinking of applying next.
