This is super cool! I am very glad to see this happen. Thanks to everyone who volunteered for the committee, and I look forward to seeing lots more awesome grant projects!

Fantastic! :D
Will the new committee be working on a (written) set of principles to guide decisions about which grants to accept? It's no secret that some past grants have come with conditions (as money nearly always does) and some of those restrictions have caused a lot of headache and some resentment.
