-
HOUSE PROGRAM - RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF EASTERN WISCONSIN, INC. PROVIDES GUEST ROOMS AND OFFERS SUPPORTIVE FAMILY PROGRAMS. SINCE 1984 FAMILIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE CALLED THIS RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE "HOME". LAST YEAR, WE SERVED OVER 2,836 FAMILIES. WHILE OVER 65% OF OUR FAMILIES COME FROM WISCONSIN, MANY FAMILIES TRAVELED FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO SEEK LIFE-GIVING MEDICAL CARE AT CHILDREN'S WISCONSIN, ROGERS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND OTHER AREA HOSPITALS. ON AVERAGE, OUR FAMILIES STAY WITH US FOR JUST OVER 8.7 DAYS; HOWEVER, OVER 6% OF FAMILIES STAY FOR LONGER THAN 30 DAYS. EACH FAMILY WHO STAYS AT THE RMHC CAN STAY FOR AS LONG AS THEIR CHILD IS RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT. WE SUGGEST A DONATION OF $20 A NIGHT FROM OUR FAMILIES, WHEN THE COST IS OVER $123 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 ITS CUSTOMERS IN SOUTHEASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN WISCONSIN AND THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN GENEROUSLY PROVIDE SUPPORT THROUGH VARIOUS FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES INCLUDING ROUND UP AND DONATION BOXES AT MCDONALD'S RESTAURANTS.

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.

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.
What this page reflects
The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
