Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Keeping families together, inspiring strength, and giving love and support to families whose children are receiving essential medical care. We support the health and well-being of seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment in the Dallas area by providing them and their families a home-away-from-home at no cost. In an effort to reduce stress, keep the family intact, and enhance the lives of the families in residence, the House allows families to re-establish some sort of a normal routine and also provides them with the opportunity to share their concerns with others, who are in a similar situation and can truly understand what they are experiencing.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Keeping families together, inspiring strength, and giving love and support to families whose children are receiving essential medical care.

  • Ronald McDonald House of Dallas (RMHD)was established in 1981 as Dallas' only temporary home-away-from-home for families with seriously ill or injured children receiving essential medical care and has served 43,000 families over the years.With approximately 78,000 square feet, the House offers 89 rooms comprised of 77 bedrooms, 6 extended-stay suites, and 6 transplant apartments. The House also provides multiple playrooms for kids of all ages and interests, a library, media room, craft room, chapel, meditation garden, laundry rooms, fitness center, and outdoor play areas, including a splash pad. A large communal kitchen, with an open dining room, and a family kitchen provide opportunities for families to share meals prepared by themselves or by dedicated community volunteers, three times a day.RMHD depends on the compassionate generosity of over five thousand volunteers and donors annually to embolden its mission. Volunteers support RMHD's annual operations and fundraising activities by providing transportation to and from the hospitals, operating the front desk, preparing and serving meals, volunteering at the Trains of NorthPark and other events, as well as hosting numerous organized activities. In 2023, approximately 3,064 volunteers and 2,000 donors joined RMHD in its important work. The Family Room at Scottish Rite for Children in Frisco serviced 1458 individuals. An additional 648 children and their families were servied at Cook Children's Medical Center Prosper, Medical City Frisco, and Texas Health Frisco through our hospitality cart and bag programs. In 2023, 1,234 familes were served with a total of 23,838 nights. The average length of stay was 12 nights. Approximately 75% of our families traveled from within Texas, 21% from out of state, and 4% internationally. 41 states and 13 countries were served. Three meals a day continued to be served the entire year. Since opening its doors, the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas has served more than 43,000 families. When checking out, families are never asked to contribute towards their stay. However, families are always welcome to donate if they chose. The cost per night to house a family is approximately $155 - a cost largely covered by individual and corporate donors, community organizations, and special events.

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. 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. 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.

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.
