PROSPECTUS<br />
<strong>2019</strong>
Dear Friends,<br />
<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> is on a mission—to eradicate poverty and its effects in our community—by harnessing<br />
the industry’s human & financial resources in a collective effort. We are at an inflection point as we enter<br />
<strong>2019</strong> and are poised to significantly grow our work with your support.<br />
We’re excited to launch an LSC corporate membership effort in <strong>2019</strong>, allowing us to set a sustainable<br />
baseline of our fundraising and increase our commitment to our nonprofit partners doing the best work<br />
in basic human survival, education and economic sustainability. Member companies will have access to<br />
dozens of volunteer events and programs throughout the year, as well as support to plan custom corporate<br />
volunteerism programs working with LSC staff.<br />
We continue to host signature events to raise money and awareness of our partners and their incredible<br />
work. These programs provide an opportunity to increase your organization’s visibility in our community.<br />
Take your support one step further with sponsorship opportunities that allow you to get your message,<br />
products, or services in front of our rapidly growing network of members, industry leaders and decision<br />
makers.<br />
We stand by to talk about your <strong>2019</strong> goals and how to best maximize your participation in<br />
<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>. To discuss membership, sponsorship or other ways to get involved,<br />

harnessing the industry’s human & financial resources in a collective effort. We partner with the<br />
most effective & efficient nonprofit organizations in three areas of focus, and direct the industry’s<br />
resources—financial and human—to help them do their work bigger, better and faster.<br />

before anything else.<br />

college prep & college access.<br />
Workforce development,<br />

Why join <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>?<br />
It’s good business. Research shows a well-designed corporate social responsibility program increases employee<br />
engagement and productivity, while reducing employee turnover and the costs associated with turnover. And<br />
employees these days expect a diverse array of volunteer opportunities year-round.<br />
It’s good citizenship. Poverty, wealth inequality and the opportunity gap are the societal challenges of our time in<br />
Greater Boston. With more than 20% of Boston families living in poverty, not working to address the issue means we<br />
are turning our backs on our neighbors.<br />
How does it work?<br />
1. <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> finds and evaluates nonprofit organizations doing the most effective and impactful work<br />
fighting poverty in Greater Boston. Through an application and grant review process, we find programs and<br />
organizations where we can have clear, measurable and unique impact as an industry.<br />
2. LSC provides financial grants to these partners and builds deep relationships to understand how the industry’s<br />
other resources (time & talent) can be put to use.<br />
3. We work across our member organizations to recruit volunteers to meet our partners’ needs. These can be<br />
individuals, informal company teams or all-company efforts, and programs can be structured for one-time or<br />
ongoing participation. You receive seasonal volunteer calendars, monthly newsletters and invitation to upcoming<br />
events and share with your entire team.<br />
4. LSC tracks and publicizes the results of our collective efforts—via regular member communications, companyspecific<br />
impact reports, materials you can share via your Intranet or employee communications vehicles, social<br />
media and traditional media channels.<br />
<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> member companies get access to 100+ volunteer opportunities and events<br />
throughout the year. Our professional staff handles the logistics and provides volunteers with any<br />
necessary training and support to ensure an impactful experience. Visit www.<strong>Life</strong><strong>Science</strong><strong>Cares</strong>.org<br />
to learn about our 2018-<strong>2019</strong> partner organizations and to check out upcoming volunteer events.<br />
For more information or to sign on as a Founding Member, contact<br />

Together, we will make a meaningful and lasting impact in the communities in which we live and work.
