Life Science Cares is a collective effort of the life science industry, connecting companies with nonprofits that are working to address basic survival needs (food, shelter), improve education, and develop job skills. LSC believes strongly in the power of partnership and focuses grantmaking on building sustainable and impactful relationships with community partners, in addition to providing volunteer hours, donated goods, strategic support, and advocacy. This combination of connecting multi-year grants and volunteers to nonprofits is the central focus as LSC works to decrease the ever-widening economic and opportunity gap.

The Mini Golf for Good Tournament is one of LSC’s biggest fundraisers each year, with proceeds supporting thirty-two Boston area nonprofit organizations. For a full list of nonprofit partners, please visit lifesciencecares.org.
