While our founding mission partner, McDonald’s, owns the licensing rights to the Ronald McDonald House Charities name, we are individually owned, and operate as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. Portions of our annual operating costs are graciously funded by McDonald’s and owner/operators of local McDonald’s restaurants in the Greater Baltimore area and on the Eastern Shore. The remainder of our annual operating income comes from the generosity of individual, corporate and foundation donors. McDonald’s involvement with the Maryland RMH extends far beyond monetary support:

• McDonald’s offers its customers the ability to Round-Up for RMHC. Customers can round their order total up to the nearest whole dollar as a donation to RMHC Maryland.
• RMHC Donation Boxes are hosted in restaurants and enable McDonald’s customers to support the House by donating change in the canisters.
• Members of the McDonald’s family are dedicated volunteers and serve on the Board and committees of our House, as well as serving as breakfast and dinner volunteers.

No individual, group, corporate or foundation donor can solely support the Ronald McDonald House. We need the support of the entire community and greatly value any support you can extend to our charity, whether it’s through cash donations, your time, or fundraising efforts.
