Corporate Support

McDonald’s Partnership

Ronald McDonald House Charities has been McDonald’s “charity of choice” for over 40 years.

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, but McDonald’s is our largest corporate partner. Portions of the annual operating costs for Ronald McDonald Houses are graciously funded by McDonald’s and owner/operators of local McDonald’s restaurants. The remainder of our annual operating income comes from the generosity of individual donors and corporate partners.

McDonald’s involvement extends beyond monetary support:

  • Franchises partner with local Chapters for promotional and fundraising events.

  • McDonald’s employees are dedicated volunteers.

  • Owner/operators participate in local and global RMHC boards.

  • RMHC Donation Boxes hosted in restaurants enable McDonald’s customers to support the House by donating change.

  • With each purchase of a McDonald’s Happy Meal® or Mighty Kid’s Meal® throughout the year, a donation is made to RMHC.

Although McDonald’s is our largest corporate partner, no one company can solely fund our programs and projected growth. We rely on the support of the entire community and greatly value the support of our corporate and individual supporters, whether it’s through monetary donations, in-kind contributions, time or fundraising efforts.

Your IMPACT as a Corporate Partner Matters

Let’s work together to make a positive impact on families in need. Together we can:

  • Reduce the financial burden on families with sick and injured children

  • Keep families together steps away from the hospital ensuring easy access to the care they need

  • Deliver asthma care and vaccines to children in our community

  • Connect families with others experiencing similar challenges

  • Provide families a place to rest and recharge with meals, activities and a support network, strengthening them when they need it most

If you are interested in becoming a Corporate Partner, please contact us to discuss available opportunities to support our children and families.
