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 />

contact Sarah MacDonald at sarah@lifesciencecares.org or 617-637-5052.<br />

JOIN<br />

TODAY<br />

<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> is on a mission—to eradicate poverty and its effects in our community—by<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 />

Think hunger, homelessness—<br />

The things you have to take care of<br />

before anything else.<br />

The whole spectrum—early education,<br />

enrichment, entrepreneurship, STEM,<br />

college prep & college access.<br />

Workforce development,<br />

training—programs that change<br />

the trajectory for people/families.<br />

Because our Board of Advisors covers <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>’ administrative costs, 100% of your contribution goes to our grant-making.<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 />

Sarah MacDonald, Executive Director, sarah@lifesciencecares.org or 617-637-5052.<br />

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