Welcome back to campus! The term is off to a great start. As of last term, our capital fund was sitting at just over $9.7 million, making us the largest student-run endowment foundation in the world! Donation returns were open until May 20th and are now being processed by the lovely people over in finance. Detailed term participation statistics as well as our new capital fund total will be available in the next issue of The Iron Warrior.
This term, WEEF will be allocating $60,000 in funding! Proposals for funding are due June 22nd at 11:59pm to weef@engmail.uwaterloo.ca. Guidelines and forms can be found online at http://www.weef.uwaterloo.ca/proposal_form.html. Each term, funding allocation decisions are made by WEEF Funding Council. Each class gets one vote on funding council and students decide where all the funding goes each term.
A list of class reps is also available online. Please ensure that your class has a WEEF rep so that you have a say in how the $60,000 is allocated. Remember, without a class WEEF rep, your class does not have any say in where the funding goes. WEEF is designed to be allocated by the students, for the students. Make sure you are represented!
KEY DATES:
June 22: Proposals due
June 27/28: Proposal presentations
June 30: Funding Council makes allocation decisions
The WEEF Board of Directors will then meet in July to finalize allocations.
As always, feel free to contact me with questions, comments or concerns at weef@engmail.uwaterloo.ca.
