Through nonprofit programs, consulting, and investing, The Global Good Fund accelerates the people and organizations that relentlessly tackle the most pressing social issues, creating a more sustainable and just future for all.
Thanks to a series of nonprofit organizations and mentors — and his own personal drive, Karim became the first person in his family to attend college, graduating in the top 10% of his class at Cornell University. He started PRACTICE to address the inequities he experienced in the public schools he grew up in to ensure that a student’s zip code doesn’t determine their future.
Said Karim, “There is a direct link between your individual growth and your business’ growth. It’s not just you as the individual, but it’s your leadership team and how fast you and your team can grow and develop leaders within the organization.”
Today PRACTICE is the largest education direct service program operator in New York City, tutoring, mentoring, and supporting children, and partnering with principals, teachers, and parents to close the opportunity gap in urban schools. Karim is still in touch with his Fellowship coach, and other members of the organization’s leadership have worked with our Consulting team to support their growth and development, too. PRACTICE’S groundbreaking approach to education is leveling the playing field by reimagining what is possible for students.
