Our Global Relationship with McDonald’s
Ronald McDonald House Founding Mission Partner since 1974
From the moment the first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia in 1974, the entire McDonald’s system (owner/operators, suppliers, employees and customers) has helped support families with sick children by providing stability and vital resources.
McDonald’s support extends from monetary contributions and volunteerism, to cause related marketing promotions and the space to place Donation Boxes that raise money for Chapters around the world. McDonald’s has helped hundreds of Ronald McDonald Houses positively impact millions of children and their families, and continues to provide valuable resources and support to help expand core programs and services.
Our Local Relationship with McDonald’s
Although we are proud to call McDonald’s our founding partner, Ronald McDonald House® Central and Northern Arizona is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. We rely on the support of the entire community and depend upon donations from individual donors, foundations and other corporate partners to provide more than 95 percent of our operating revenue.
