Yes you can create one manually. If I'm understanding you correctly, private organizations you add to a stackaid.json file will be ignored. Our focus is on funding open source.

But if you mean, can you commit a stackaid.json file in a private repository, yes absolutely. As long as the GitHub app is given access to that repo, we will discover it and fund dependencies specified in the stackaid.json file.

Another question if i may, do we have visibility over how funds have been accepted/moved/etc?

it would be nice to know when library authors have actually received my funds, vs them not taking them for a few months and the funds moving to another library. This would let me as a user pester the author about funds they're missing, since i'm invested in them getting support i'm trying to give.

Yes, projects with unclaimed funds have a notice at the top of their page. I think there is also an opportunity for us to show you which of your dependencies have been claimed in your dashboard.
