Life Science Cares provides a platform for companies and their employees to make a difference on issues of poverty.

Life Science Cares leverages the power of the life science industry to solve one of our most intractable social issues—poverty. They currently operate in four locations that boast a critical mass of companies working in biotech, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and research: Boston, Philadelphia, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area.

By partnering with local nonprofits with proven records of impact in their communities, Life Science Cares directs financial resources, donated goods, and thousands of volunteer hours to address both immediate and long term needs of our neighbors living in poverty.

The mission of Life Science Cares is to leverage the intellectual, financial, and human capital of the life sciences industry in an effort to reduce the effects of poverty in Boston, Philadelphia, San Diego and the Bay Area. They do this by making financial, multi-year grants to a cohort of nonprofits while also recruiting volunteers and directing donated goods to their organizations. The result is an efficient model of support that both increases the capacity of nonprofits to serve and provides valuable team-building and corporate social responsibility benefits for companies.

Life Science Cares offers grants to organizations working in three areas of need: survival, sustainability, and education. Learn more at lifesciencecares.org.
