2:18 p.m.
Dear BCOEL friends,
I'm an avid reader of your meeting minutes and noted that Monday's included a
concern about the matching funds requirement for our currently posted Calls for the OE
Foundation
Grant<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/open-education-foundation-grant-for-institutions/>
and OE Sustainability
Grant<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/bccampus-open-education-sustainability-grant/>.
We have taken this concern to heart and will be removing that requirement. The following
text will be added to these Calls.
In light of the financial constraints being faced by B.C.'s post-secondary
institutions during the current pandemic, BCcampus has decided to remove the requirement
that applicants must secure matching funds from their institutions, equal to the grant
total.
If an applicant's institution is willing and able to provide in-kind and/or financial
contributions to their proposed project, this information should be included on the grant
application.
Best regards,
Lauri

Subject: [Bcoelsteering] May 11 meeting minutes ready for review
Hello all,
The draft minutes from Monday's meeting are now ready for review. Please don't
hesitate to send revisions my way - particularly in regards to the institutional updates,
as I fear I missed some details.
Many thanks,
Lindsay
