LSI Foundation Announces Success of Pro Bono Program

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Linguistic Systems, Inc. (LSI), a leading provider of language translation services, is proud to announce the success of the LSI Foundation’s Pro Bono Program, providing translation and interpreting services to those organizations serving the community, and specifically enabling LSI employees to give back to their community. The LSI staff has seen the difference the program has made for local organizations and has decided to increase their contributions through the fall.

“Now that we’ve seen the impact we can have on organizations, we are putting an extra effort into the LSI Foundation. We want to see more and more organizations benefit from our services.”

Since its founding, the foundation has donated services to many in need including Pharmacists for Foster Kids, a program run by the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. “The goal of the program was to educate foster parents to give their children the best care possible,” said Lauren Simonds, a student at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. “The LSI Foundation allowed us to effectively communicate vital information with the Spanish-speaking foster parents of children with asthma.”

The LSI Foundation, founded in February 2010, is an incorporated non-profit foundation in Massachusetts, capitalized at $1,000,000, to perform translations, interpreting, and related language services for charitable and educational purposes.

“We love to see our employees give back,” said Martin Roberts, President of Linguistic Systems, Inc. “Now that we’ve seen the impact we can have on organizations, we are putting an extra effort into the LSI Foundation. We want to see more and more organizations benefit from our services.”

Organizations that are in need of language services for pro bono legal cases and other humanitarian causes, for educational purposes for third world countries, or other charitable needs should contact the LSI Foundation at (866) 654-5006.
