Money Market and Capital Market: Difference
Both the money market and the capital market are the two different types of the financial markets where in the money market is used for the purpose of short term borrowing and lending whereas the capital market is used for the long term assets i.e., the assets which have the maturity of more than one year.
Money markets are unorganized markets where banks, financial institutions, money dealers and brokers trade in financial instruments for a short period of time. They trade in short-term debt instruments like trade credit, commercial paper, certificate of deposit, T bills, etc. which are highly liquid and can be redeemed in the period less than 1 year . It helps the business and industries with working capital requirements.
The capital market is a type of financial market where financial products like stocks, bonds, debentures are traded for a long duration of time. They serve the purpose of long-term financing and long-term capital requirement. The Capital mark

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

commit to support such activities?
Editor's Notes
5 mins
Introduction by AD to the session.
With particular focus on the goal of this session which is to initiate a process resulting in a strategy of how the members of the YBI Network can maximise the benefits of fundraising in the US.
10 mins
Andrew D and Henry R
Four key donor types: 1. Mass market, 2. Wealthy individuals, 3. Corporations, 4. Foundations
1. Mass market: difficult to capture, unsuitable for YBI network?
2. Wealthy individuals/High net worths: c.2.2m in the US, 1% of population but c.42% of total giving
3. Foundations: most giving from independent; historically only 6% of giving to international overseas recipients
4. Corporations: corporations and their foundations c. $10.9bn, mainly from fortune 100 companies ($6m per firm)
5. Public sector
* Based on 2003 US market research
Mass market: difficult to attract support without large scale presence, significant marketing investment and resources
Wealthy individuals/HNWs
Motivations:
Personal interest, relevant – NB Diaspora fundraising among wealthy individuals in the USA
US specific interest in ‘naming’ or public philanthropy especially arts and culture
Opportunity:
Use networks to identify and approach e.g. Your Board, Diaspora network, local embassies, senior business networks
Needs the personal approach, not ‘cold calling’
3. Foundations
Motivations:
Mission driven – very specific interests and remits
Country/region e.g. domestic, Africa; sector e.g. education, health; type of intervention e.g. disaster relief
Opportunity
Online resources
www.foundationsearch.com; www.fconline.fdncenter.org; www.guidestar.com;
Approach
Research, research, research!
Find those with 85%+ fit with your mission areas
4. Corporations
Motivations:
Corporate social responsibility, recognised as giving back to the community
Employee engagement
Opportunity
Corps with interests/links/operations in your country
YBI central point of coordination
Approach
Finding a corporate champion, preferably a senior person within the business
‘Buffet approach’ of engagement opportunities and benefits including financial, pro bono, volunteer and employee engagement opportunities
5. Public sector
Motivations:
Tackling stated economic and social priorities
Can be political e.g. Recent change in government has influenced policy
Key factors for US donors:
uniqueness
constituency
capacity building
involvement with local community
demonstrating why it is valuable
American connection
Source: US market research
Youth Unemployment is a significant issue in the United States and on that is growing due to the prolonged economic downturn. Statistics show that in communities where unemployment is running around 10-13 %, young people have rates between 25% and 50%. Frustrated by the lack of economic opportunity, and the ability to participate in traditional pathways to success they often turn to gang membership and crime to meet their needs.
Though one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the United States has pockets of severe poverty in its cities existing side by side with great affluence. This is true of many of the communities that border the San Francisco Bay. Close to 1 million people live below the poverty level in an area where the cost of making ends meet is 2.5 times the official federal poverty level.
The differences in quality of life are staggering. Statistics show that families from the poorer neighborhoods in cities like Oakland, Richmond and others have a life expectancy that is 10 years lower than their wealthier neighbors.
It is surprising that micro-finance, while a concept growing in popularity in recent years in the Unites States, has had difficulty scaling in the United States. While ACCION is the most successful, it operates in a few only a few states. And of the 519 Micro-enterprise programs, none focus on helping youth start their own businesses.
Self Explanatory
10 mins
Philanthropy in the US is driven by Americans desire to give and get: give back to their communities and get back some of their tax dollars.
To understand US tax code, one must understand that it has little to do with policy and much to do with Politics: who pays, how much and what are the exceptions to taxation. This results in a confusing array of regulations and forms that make little sense but are so ingrained in our culture that everyone accepts the process as normal. YBA in 2009 had three grants and $1,500 in expenses and had to submit a 25 page tax return that was based on a questionnaire that was 40 pages long.
Tax regulations regarding charities impact two activities; rules on the reduction in taxes paid for donations by individual tax payers, and regulations governing the actiivities of charities that qualify for tax-exempt status. There are a variety of categories of Tax exempt charities including Public Charities supported by donations from the general public, Private Charities which are started by wealthy individuals (like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations). Each category has different regulations governing how they must operate to prevent abuse of the system. For Example, Private Charities in general must spend 5% of their endowment each year to maintain their exemption.
There are also a variety of allowable activities which the IRS will permit to operated under “Exempt Purposes”. For YBA, our exempt purposes include operating a youth lending and mentoring program, and providing support for the YBI network.
There is a differentiation between Tax-exempt Activities by YBA, and the tax-deductibility of donations to YBA and Charities.
Principle #1: Individual Tax Payers (including companies) and some Private Foundations (under Expenditure Responsibility) need to make donations to a 501(c) (3) to qualify for a deduction: they cannot make the donation directly to a foreing charity and claim a deduction.
Principle #2 Most other Public Charities, provided it is an “Exempt Activity” approved in their application to the IRS, may make donations to foreign Charities Directly.
10 mins
The IRS wants to make sure that funds raised from US sources are made to responsible and worthy causes overseas. Terrorism Financing is a major concern and focus of compliance.
Earmarking or Pass-thru imply a Public Charity that is passively collecting money on behalf of, or controlled by a foreign Charity. To discourage this activity, donors will be denied a deduction.
Public Charities, to preserve the deduction for their donors, must exercise and display Control and Oversight over grant funds flowing to foreign charities.
“Designation”, the donor indicating to what foreign charity the funds will go to, is OK PROVIDED that the donor understands explicitly that the Board of YBA has the discretion to not follow the donor’s designation if it believes the funds have or will be misused. The funds won’t be returned to the donor, but used according the the Board’s discretion. The good news: the donor gets a tax-deduction.
Friends of the Prince’s Trust operates under similar principles; Donors designate that the funds should go the the Prince’s Trust, but the Friends of the Prince’s Trust is an independent charity that has a board independent from the Prince’s Trust and receives reporting back from the PT as to how the funds have been utilized and they vote on each grant to the PT>
10 mins
To simplify the process of collecting donations through YBA for the Network, the following will occur.
YBA’s by-laws and IRS registration permit grants to YBI as an “Exempt Purpose”.
MOU Between YBI and YBA provides for groundrules, including OFAC Terrorism Financing Laws compliance.
YBI prepares and presents a “YBI Buffet” grant request to YBA which includes a range of projects/countries it would like to provide financing, with milestones, reporting requirements and other KPI’s
YBA’s Board approves the Buffet.
YBI and affiliates conduct marketing campaign with individuals and companies, directign them to YBA.
YBA receives funds from these sources, and confirms with donor what designaiton means and YBA Board’s full discretion.
Quarterly, YBA Board will review grants, including performance of recipients provided by YBI. YBA’s Board will vote to approve grants, and YBA will remit funds to YBI.
YBI will act as administator of the grants, and collect required reporting and send back to YBA.
YBA will do periodic field audits of countries receiving grants.
