Ronald McDonald House Charities Grants

McDonald’s customers contribute thousands of dollars to RMHC locally by dropping change into donation canisters and supporting other fund-raisers throughout the year, including the sale of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and USA Today at McDonald’s restaurants.

With these funds and other gifts from the McDonald Owner/Operators, RMHC reaches out to meet the needs of the community by funding programs specifically benefiting children in the area. Beneficiaries of RMHC grants are nonprofit organizations that have demonstrated an ability to respond to the needs of children and their families in a definitive, hands-on manner that yields measurable results.

Since 1990, RMHC has awarded more that $2 million locally for programs in the following three categories: health care and medical research; education and the arts; and civic and social services.

Grants Awarded THIRD quarter 2008

Grants Awarded Second quarter 2008

Total awarded in 2007: $291,440
