The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the epicenter of evil in our modern world, with every Globalist agenda and ideology finding a home, and most importantly, money. With over $55 billion under management, the Gates Foundation has the ability to remake society in its image through its ability to deploy capital to institutions that are actively involved in depopulation and forming a world government. Most people have no idea who Bill Gates actually is and what he stands for because his investments in the media make sure that the truth stays hidden away from the rest of the world. The number of resources that he has provided to organizations that actively kill children with their products should land him in prison for the rest of his life or worse. Let's get real about who Bill Gates actually is, and what his plan for the world entails.

Job quality is vital not only for workers, but also for small businesses and communities. Yet too many jobs today miss the mark on one of the key characteristics of a good job: providing enough pay to live on. Only 56% of full-time workers in the United States make enough money to cover their families basic needs. This problem is particularly acute at small businesses. Nearly 60% of low-wage workers work at businesses with fewer than 100 employees, and 35% of low-wage workers work at micro-businesses with fewer than 10 employees. Small businesses also struggle to address other characteristics of a good job, like providing adequate benefits, stable scheduling, and a positive work culture.Recognizing this context, in 2022, the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program (EOP) launched the Shared Success project, funded by the Gates Foundation. The project supports 11 community development financial institutions (CDFIs) across the country to integrate job quality support into their small business services with the goal of improving job quality for small business employees and building business resilience. Three years later, EOP has seen how grantees have used innovative approaches to recruit, advise, and incentivize small businesses to improve job quality.This discussion is the second of two panels from our event, “How Good Jobs Support Small Business Success: Lessons from the Shared Success Demonstration,” which took place on May 21, 2025 at the Aspen Institute's office in Washington DC. Our speakers include Viola Mai (Director of Development and Impact, ICA Fund), Betsy Biemann (Chief Executive Officer, Coastal Enterprises, Inc.), Barbara Magnoni (President, EA Consultants), and moderator Maureen Conway (Vice President, The Aspen Institute; Executive Director, Economic Opportunities Program).During this event, we heard from leaders of CDFIs, their small business clients, philanthropic supporters, and other experts, and we discussed the lessons learned from Shared Success, ranging from practical tips about strategies for engaging small businesses in discussions of job quality to the range of job quality improvements CDFI clients helped their businesses make. We hope you enjoy this important discussion on small business support strategies that help businesses and workers both thrive, achieving Shared Success.For more information, including a transcript, speaker bios, and additional resources, visit our event page. And add our first panel, “Driving Innovation in Small Business Lending: Examples of How Small Business and CDFIs are Working Together to Advance Job Quality,” to your podcast queue.For highlights from this discussion, subscribe to EOP's YouTube channel.Join us on Zoom on June 26 for our webinar on Advising Small Businesses on Job Quality: Lessons from CDFIs.

In this episode, former Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift joins Jeff and Michael to explore how to rebuild the broken college-to-career pipeline. Now leading Education at Work, a nonprofit that provides work-based learning opportunities for undergraduates, Swift shares how her organization supports first-generation and Pell-eligible students with paid, career-relevant jobs during college. The conversation also dives into the policy vacuum left by congressional inaction, the role of states in driving innovation, and where bipartisan opportunities still exist in connecting higher education to the workforce.

Han prenumererade på titeln världens rikaste man. Det här är historien om hur Bill Gates styrde om från Microsoft till världsförbättrande. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Under 80- och 90-talen erövrade Bill Gates den nya IT-industrin med sitt företag Microsoft. Han blev ansiktet utåt för PC-revolutionen och världens rikaste person. Men han blev även beryktad som en hänsynslös affärsman och anklagad av den amerikanska staten för att bedriva monopol. När hans rykte var som sämst sadlade han om till filantrop. Han grundade en stiftelse, The Gates Foundation, som många menar räddat miljontals liv. Men som även kritiserats för att tvinga på världens fattigaste länder lösningar som inte fungerar.Nu, när hans hemland USA gör stora nedskärningar på biståndsarbete, presenterar Bill Gates nästa giv: han ska ge bort alla sina pengar. I avsnittet medverkar journalisten och författaren Tim Schwab och P3:s techreporter Evelina Galli.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Tobias NorströmLjudmix: Fredrik NilssonKlippen i programmet är hämtade från: SVT, Sveriges Radio, The Gates Foundation, Live 8, CBS, NBC, CNN, CBC, The New Yorker och TED.

With higher education policy increasingly driven by executive action, Michael and Jeff explore why Congress has been largely absent from the conversation—and what that means for students and institutions. They're joined by James Kvaal, former Under Secretary of Education under the Biden Administration, and Preston Cooper of the American Enterprise Institute, for a bipartisan discussion about stalled reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, cuts to the Department of Education, the future of international students at American colleges, and more. This episode is made with support from the Gates Foundation.Chapters0:00 - Intro04:44 - The Cost of Congressional Inaction13:28 - Unlocking Movement on Higher Ed19:53 - Areas for Bipartisan Compromise23:15 - The Big Change We Need28:33 - The Impact of Cuts to the Department of Education32:58 - Immigration and International Students38:23 - Agreement Across the Aisle43:55 - Changes Since the Last HEA Reauthorization48:12 - Too Much Focus on the Elites?

Gates Foundation's Bold Plan and Legislative Challenges for Nonprofits In this week's episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed, George and Nick dive into significant developments affecting the nonprofit sector. The discussion kicks off with Bill Gates' groundbreaking announcement regarding the Gates Foundation, the largest American foundation by asset volume. Gates revealed plans to dissolve the foundation by December 2045, aiming to spend down its entire endowment of over $200 billion. The foundation will focus on three key goals: reducing preventable maternal and childhood deaths, eradicating deadly infectious diseases, and alleviating poverty. This decision is driven by cuts in U.S. foreign aid and the pressing need for immediate action in health and human development. Gates' approach reflects a shift in philanthropy, emphasizing immediate impact over legacy preservation, reminiscent of Mackenzie Scott's philanthropic strategy. This move is seen as both radical and necessary, aligning with the current urgency in addressing global challenges. The episode also covers legislative developments that could impact nonprofits. A provision in the House budget bill, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," could grant the executive branch broad powers to revoke 501(c)(3) status from nonprofits without due process. This echoes past legislative attempts and raises concerns about potential executive overreach, particularly targeting organizations involved in immigration, gender rights, and other contentious areas. Additionally, the bill proposes taxing investment income from large endowments, affecting major foundations and universities. While intended to address equity issues, critics argue it could harm philanthropic efforts by redirecting funds away from charitable work.

World-renowned philanthropist Bill Gates announced Thursday that he will give away virtually all of his wealth to the Gates Foundation.世界著名慈善家比尔·盖茨上周四宣布，他将几乎将全部财富捐赠给盖茨基金会。"There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people. That is why I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned," Gates said. "I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world."“有太多紧迫的问题需要解决，我无法保留可以用来帮助他人的资源。因此，我决定以比原计划更快的速度回馈社会。”盖茨说道。“我将在未来20年内，通过盖茨基金会，将几乎全部财富捐赠给拯救世界、改善人类生活的事业。”The foundation announced it would spend 200 billion U.S. dollars by 2045 to improve people's lives using its current endowment, with the balance coming over time from Gates' personal fortune. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, it published the new commitment, which marks a major acceleration in the foundation's work and sets 2045 as the year to sunset its operations.盖茨基金会宣布，到2045年，将利用现有捐赠资金投入2000亿美元，用于改善人类生活，其余资金将逐步从盖茨的个人财富中拨出。为庆祝基金会成立25周年，基金会发布了新的承诺，这标志着基金会工作的重大加速，并将2045年定为基金会的终止日期。According to the announcement, the foundation's board of directors affirmed the accelerated timeline with a change to the foundation's charter, which had said the organization would sunset 20 years after Gates' death.根据公告，基金会董事会确认了加快的时间表，并修改了基金会章程。章程此前规定，该组织将在盖茨去世20年后结束运营。"A few years ago, I began to rethink that. More recently, with the input from our board, I now believe we can achieve the foundation's goals on a shorter timeline, especially if we double down on key investments and provide more certainty to our partners," said Gates.盖茨表示：“几年前，我开始重新考虑这一点。最近，在董事会的指导下，我相信我们可以在更短的时间内实现基金会的目标，特别是如果我们加倍投入关键投资，并为我们的合作伙伴提供更多确定性。”According to the foundation's announcement, it will collaborate with its partners on three main objectives over the next two decades: eliminating preventable deaths of moms and babies, ensuring the next generation grows up free of deadly infectious diseases, and lifting millions of people out of poverty.根据基金会的公告，未来20年，基金会将与合作伙伴共同致力于三大主要目标：消除可预防的母婴死亡，确保下一代在远离致命传染病的环境中成长，以及帮助数百万人摆脱贫困。Gates said that during the first 25 years of the Gates Foundation, he and Warren Buffett together gave away more than 100 billion dollars.盖茨表示，在盖茨基金会成立的最初25年里，他和沃伦·巴菲特共同捐赠了超过1000亿美元。"Over the next two decades, we will double our giving. The exact amount will depend on the markets and inflation, but I expect the foundation will spend more than 200 billion dollars between now and 2045. This figure includes the balance of the endowment and my future contributions," Gates said.盖茨表示：“未来二十年，我们的捐款将翻一番。具体数额将取决于市场和通胀情况，但我预计，从现在到2045年，基金会的支出将超过2000亿美元。这个数字包括捐赠基金的余额和我未来的个人捐款。”philanthropist/fɪˈlænθrəpɪst/n.慈善家；乐善好施的人endowment/ɪnˈdaʊmənt/n.基金；捐赠资产；天赋charter/ˈtʃɑːrtər/n.宪章；章程；特许状sunset/ˈsʌnset/v.（用于机构或法律）逐步终止、结束运行

The cardinals electing the next pope will vote again Thursday afternoon after black smoke rose again from the Sistine Chapel Thursday, indicating no pope was selected in the conclave's latest round of voting. The secrecy surrounding the conclave hasn't stopped people from trying to predict the results. Three of the major betting markets alone have taken in more than $19 million in wagers. Known as papal vestments, the pope's official attire has long been made by two family-run tailoring businesses in Rome. They're eagerly waiting to watch white smoke rise from the Sistine Chapel and see a new pope emerge, possibly wearing the garments they created. The price tag of parenthood is becoming more expensive. Tariffs in the escalating trade war between China and the U.S. are driving up prices on baby products, impacting businesses and customers.

This week, we learned that billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates will commit most of his fortune to the Gates Foundation, which will close in 2045. Before this date, the foundation will double its philanthropy, spending $200 billion over the next two decades. The announcement comes as the organization, which has given away $100 billion since 2000, marks its 25th anniversary. Meanwhile, at the end of last week, U.S. President Donald Trump's budget proposed an unprecedented slashing of U.S. foreign assistance, making huge cuts to global health, humanitarian aid, and core economic and development work. We discuss the details of Trump's budget proposal for fiscal year 2026, and its potential impact on the global development sector. As the future of foreign aid remains in limbo, 400,000 boxes of food for malnourished children remain stuck in the United States. To explore these stories and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with reporters Sara Jerving and Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on Bill Gates giving away almost all of his fortune.

Eindelijk weten we waar Trump het al dagen over had: het is een handelsdeal met de Britten. Die 'major announcement' is volgens de Amerikanen en Britten zelfs een 'historische deal'. Veel details kregen we nog niet. Die moeten nog worden uitgewerkt, zegt Trump. De hoofdlijnen krijgen we wel: het is vooral de Amerikaanse landbouw die erg profiteert. De deal is ook een opsteker voor Boeing, want de Britten kopen voor 10 miljard dollar aan vliegtuigen van dat bedrijf. Trump belooft daarnaast dat er ook druk wordt onderhandeld over handelsdeals met andere landen. Wanneer Europa (of misschien zelfs China) eindelijk aan de beurt is bespreken we deze aflevering. Daarnaast hebben we het over de Amerikaanse chipbeperkingen. Die worden ietsje soepeler dankzij deze president Trump. Volgens Bloomberg komt er een uitzondering voor AI-chips op de beperkingen die zijn voorganger Joe Biden heeft ingevoerd. Wat Trump zelf te winnen heeft met deze versoepeling, gaan we bespreken. De chipaandelen profiteren in ieder geval: ze staan allemaal hoger vandaag. En Trump heeft voor de zoveelste keer uitgehaald naar Fed-baas Jerome Powell. Trump schrijft op zijn eigen Truth Social dat Powell een 'fool' is, die geen enkel idee heeft. Maar zegt Trump ook: 'Verder mag ik hem heel erg!' Verder hoor je wat de nieuwste tegenvaller voor Elon Musk is en hoe Chinese aandelen profiteren van het oplaaiende conflict tussen India en Pakistan. En we kijken naar de koffieprijzen, want die stijgen gigantisch volgens koffieboer JDE Peets. Dat betekent in Nederland waarschijnlijk weer ruzies met de grote supermarkten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
