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 and OE 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
