Ronald McDonald House Charities, a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), creates, finds and supports programs that directly improve the health and well being of children worldwide. Its goal is to make an immediate, positive impact on as many children as possible through its global network of 171 Local Chapters in 47 countries.

In addition to its cornerstone Ronald McDonald House program and the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program, the Charity makes grants to not-for-profit organizations to help children and families around the world. To date, Ronald McDonald House Charities' national body and global network of local Chapters have awarded more than $330 million in grants to children's programs worldwide.

The Ronald McDonald House program has provided a "home-away-from-home" for millions of family members since its inception in 1974.  There are currently 218 Ronald McDonald Houses open in 21 countries.

Launched in the fall of 2000, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program is a fleet of state-of-the-art vehicles that deliver medical and dental care to underserved children in their own neighborhoods. Currently there are ten medical units on the road, with plans for 50 programs by the end of 2005.

Ronald McDonald House Charities receives strong support from McDonald's Corporation, which pays 100 percent of the general and administrative costs for the global body of Ronald McDonald House Charities. McDonald's owner/operators and regional staffs, suppliers and individual donors generously support the Charity with their personal and corporate contributions. McDonald's customers also help fund RMHC programs by placing donations in Ronald McDonald House Charities canisters and by on-line giving through the RMHC website.

Ronald McDonald House Charities awards grants to not-for-profit organizations to support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children.
