Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Operating support to local Ronald McDonald House Charities chapters
Family lodging near pediatric hospitals (Ronald McDonald Houses)
Chapter capital projects and house expansion or renovation
Family Rooms and Care Mobile programs run by chapters
Chapter operations in mid-size medical hub cities nationwide

Typical grant

Median grant is about $281,000, with the middle half falling between roughly $129,000 and $600,000. The seven-figure checks go to the largest metro chapters (Chicagoland, Southern California, St. Louis, New York Metro, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa Bay), while $275,000 to $500,000 goes to smaller-market chapters like Delaware, Fort Wayne, and Lubbock. Giving repeats: 520 grants to only 162 recipients over 2022-2025 means most chapters receive support every single year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“Ronald McDonald House Charities”
“RMHC of”
“Ronald McDonald House”
“See Part IV c”

Positioning adjacent work

Recognize this is a system funder moving money to its own chapter network, not an open-field grantmaker.
Approach the local RMHC chapter, not Chicago; chapters hold the operating dollars and set programs.
Frame adjacent work as serving families of hospitalized children near a specific pediatric hospital.
Size any chapter-level partnership request well under the $281,000 median; chapter budgets, not global, will fund it.

Worth knowing: Essentially every dollar in this record goes to entities named Ronald McDonald House or RMHC, so an outside nonprofit or university has no track record to point to here. Geography follows the chapter map rather than any funding priority, with Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio topping the list simply because they host the most chapters.
