If this was a matter of national security - I'd say yeah - we don't need to know exactly who has the money. I'd totally understand that. We don't "need" to know that Lockheed-Martin got the bid award for the secret helicopter project that shoots missiles with precision aim while hanging upside down, with 27 Portuguese Water Dogs specially trained to carry bombs are tossed out in self-pulling parachutes over the enemy compound.
But we should know that Darden Restaurants (owner of Chili's) received 10M while Bob's Diner's application wasn't even considered because they ran out of money before he turned it in - which was 2 weeks BEFORE the deadline.
We don't necessarily have the "right" to the first wad of taxpayer dough's information. But we should necessarily have the "right" to the second wad's info.
