I agree. Some stats on the Meta pages per year would be helpful, as well as a list of grantees and their reports (for those who didn't make a report, maybe we have other data available on them, like submissions & presentations, or something like that)

There may be a rumour circulating among some editors that the same people get sponsorship every year, but there is also a rumour that there is no point even applying if you had a grant three years ago. I considered it worth applying for Mexico as I had been turned down for both Hong Kong and Washington DC, but I know at least one editor who didn't apply this year because he had had sponsorship two or three years ago.

In these circumstances it would be helpful to have a little information, no need to have names, but if we could have the  number of people who have had sponsorship once, twice, three times or more in the last six years I suspect it would do much to reassure people that the myth that the same people get sponsorship every year is either true or untrue.
