How does Ronald McDonald House Charities raise funds?
McDonald’s Australia Limited pays all administration costs for RMHC. This means that one hundred cents of every dollar donated goes directly RMHC programs supporting seriously ill children and their families. Individual Ronald McDonald Houses receive funding for capital projects from Ronald McDonald House Charities, but they need to cover their own operating expenses. To meet these costs they raise funds through donations from local service clubs, local businesses, local McDonald’s Licensees, special events and general fundraising activities. Houses also generate income from modest accommodation fees from parents, most of whom are eligible for government assistance with the fees. Funds raised by RMHC events such as McHappy Day and Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Balls are distributed between houses and programs at a state or national level.
