I'm really happy to see this page and conversation around analyzing and comparing various ways of grantmaking to individuals - thanks for starting this!
Some learnings we have from the first round of IEG are posted here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Feedback/round_1_2013 We're planning to do a survey and some analysis of the Participation Support Program in September to prepare for a revamp of that grantmaking program and will share the learnings from that as well. I'm particularly interested in understanding what kinds of microgrants are working particularly well, what the most common challenges are with these programs, and what needs are not yet being met for individuals in existing programs...I wonder if adding a "questions" section to that page might be useful, to help define the kinds of analysis as well?
