Activities or mission (Part I)
TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER AND PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN.
-
HOUSE PROGRAM - RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF EASTERN WISCONSIN, INC. PROVIDES GUEST ROOMS AND SUPPORTIVE FAMILY PROGRAMS. SINCE 1984, MORE THAN 59,600 FAMILIES WORLDWIDE HAVE CALLED THIS RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE "HOME". LAST YEAR, WE SERVED 2,700 FAMILIES. WHILE OVER 65% OF OUR FAMILIES COME FROM WISCONSIN, MANY HAVE TRAVELED ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO SEEK LIFE-GIVING MEDICAL CARE AT CHILDREN'S WISCONSIN, ROGERS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OTHER AREA HOSPITALS. WE SERVE UP TO 84 FAMILIES DAILY AND COULD SERVE NEARLY EVERY FAMILY NEEDING OUR HOUSE DURING 2024. ON AVERAGE, OUR FAMILIES STAY WITH US FOR JUST OVER 8.2 DAYS; HOWEVER, OVER 55% OF FAMILIES STAY FOR LONGER THAN 30 DAYS. EACH FAMILY WHO STAYS AT RMHC CAN STAY FOR AS LONG AS THEIR CHILD RECEIVES MEDICAL TREATMENT AT NO COST. WE SUGGEST DONATING $20 A NIGHT FROM OUR FAMILIES, WHEN THE COST IS $120 PER NIGHT; HOWEVER, NO ONE IS EVER TURNED AWAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO PAY. THE MAJORITY OF OUR SUPPORT COMES FROM PRIVATE FUNDING THROUGH SPECIAL EVENTS AND DONORS. ALTHOUGH THE MCDONALD'S CORPORATION DOES NOT PROVIDE DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT, THE MCDONALD'S OWNER/OPERATORS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS IN EASTERN WISCONSIN AND THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN GENEROUSLY PROVIDE SUPPORT THROUGH VARIOUS FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING DONATION BOXES AT MCDONALD'S RESTAURANTS. LAST YEAR, THESE IMPORTANT EFFORTS CONTRIBUTED TO ABOUT 7% OF THE ANNUAL REVENUE.
Expenses $3,430,685

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
