As Executive Director, Ali oversees the day-to-day operations of Glick Philanthropies.

Ali founded the Glick Gives program, which matches qualified charitable contributions from Glick employees to not-for-profit organizations. To date, the Glick Gives program has matched over $525,000 in employee contributions to charitable causes. “I love being able to see the impact that Glick Philanthropies has on the community and educating people on the importance of giving back,” Ali says.

Ali’s heart for philanthropy was influenced by her dad, who she counts as one of her biggest heroes and recalls the example of him helping countless friends and family members in need as she was growing up. Today, her family supports a school for AIDS orphans in Uganda called Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project, and they had the opportunity to visit the school in the summer of 2017 & 2019. Her family raises funds for this organization, and they have “unofficially adopted” five Ugandan kids as their own that they love and support from the US.

In her spare time, you can find Ali cheering on her son on the basketball court, spending time with her family and friends and enjoying the outdoors.
