Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

We, in partnership with our community, provide a comfortable and caring home away from home that supports keeping families together and reduces stress during a child's serious illness.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provide a supportive, caring community for families with seriously ill children.

  • Last year we served 5,649 families across our five locations, providing $7.5 million in out-of-pocket savings to families. In addition, family surveys reported 98% of the families we served rated our programs as 'very good or 'excellent', felt 'better supported' because of our services, and felt 'less stressed and better able to cope' with their child's health crisis due to our programs and services. Lodging: The Ronald McDonald House-Oak Street in Minneapolis features 48 private rooms available to families living at least 40 miles from the Twin Cities. Last year it served 832 families, provided 13,687 nights of lodging and saved families approximately $4.1 million in lodging, meals, basic daily supplies and more. Lodging: The Ronald McDonald House at Children's, Minneapolis is an in-hospital facility with 15 private rooms that serves families with a child in the hospital's NICU or PICU. In 2024, it served 2,358 families, provided 4,862 nights of lodging, welcomed 70,296 visitors, and saved families more than $2.1 million in lodging and meal costs.Lodging: The Ronald McDonald Family Room at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare, with four overnight rooms, serves the pediatric trauma and disability community.

    Expenses $4,181,471 · Revenue $432,344

  • Volunteer Services: Last year, we benefited from the support of 8,230 volunteers who worked 53,726 hours, the equivalent of 26 full-time employees. The Cooks for Kids program success, including an opportunity for groups to sponsor a meal and use an RMH-supplied menu and ingredients as well as daytime shifts both contributed to the increase in volunteers. In addition, expansion of individual volunteer opportunities and growth in in-kind hours assembling boxed meals, snack bags, etc. increased significantly last year.

    Expenses $600,589

  • Family Services: The K-12 School at RMH-Oak St. provided 980 student days last year vs 909 in 2023, with most of the students in grades K-5. The after-school enrichment program provided 827 student days and included gym and outdoor activities, art projects, card and board games, imaginative play and more. During the summer, Camp RMH's busy schedule included recreational and educational outings to Twin Cities landmarks, behind-the-scenes tours of stadiums and museums, opportunities to learn new skills such as sailing and fishing, in-house days with special visitors, and more. All five locations also offered a wide variety of events and activities to parents, other caregivers and siblings including game nights, special "Caring for the Caregiver" meals, outings to local sporting events, health and wellness activities, arts and crafts experiences led by local artists, book and knitting clubs and more.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
