Mission

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES COLUMBIA, SC CREATES, FUNDS AND SUPPORTS PROGRAMS THAT DIRECTLY IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES (RMHC) COLUMBIA, SC PROVIDES GUEST FAMILIES WITH ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME, SO THEY ARE ABLE TO FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS THE MOST, THE HEALTH OF THEIR CHILD. KEEPING FAMILIES CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND THE CARE THEY NEED.

  • THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE: BEING AWAY FROM HOME WITH A SERIOUSLY ILL OR INJURED CHILD IS DIFFICULT AND STRESSFUL FOR FAMILIES. THE COST OF HOTEL ROOMS, LONG COMMUTES, LENGTHY HOSPITAL STAYS AND BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN A STRANGE PLACE TAKES AN ENORMOUS EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL TOLL ON FAMILIES IN CRISES. THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN. WE UNDERSTAND THAT BEING AWAY FROM HOME, AND PERHAPS UNABLE TO WORK, CAN TAKE A FINANCIAL TOLL ON FAMILIES, PARTICULARLY THOSE DEALING WITH THE MEDICAL CRISIS OF A CHILD. THEREFORE, THOUGH IT COSTS $89/PER FAMILY, PER NIGHT TO OPERATE THE HOUSE PROGRAM, WE ONLY ENCOURAGE, BUT NEVER REQUIRE, FAMILIES TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION OF JUST $15 PER NIGHT. HOWEVER, NO FAMILY IS EVER TURNED AWAY DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE. THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IS OPEN TO SERVE FAMILIES 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR.

    Expenses $882,249 · Revenue $81,699

  • THE RONALD MCDONALD FAMILY ROOM EXTENDS THE COMFORT OF THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE TO PRISMA HEALTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND PROVIDES AN OASIS FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF HOSPITAL CORRIDORS AND CROWDED WAITING ROOMS. THE FAMILY ROOM OFFERS REFRESHMENTS, INTERNET ACCESS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE HELPING HAND OF CARING VOLUNTEERS. THE ROOM IS OPEN 8-12:30 MONDAY TO FRIDAY. THE PACK-A-SMILE PROGRAM STARTED AS A WAY FOR RMHC COLUMBIA, SC, TO HELP MORE FAMILIES DURING THE PANDEMIC BY PROVIDING FREE BAGGED BREAKFAST AND LUNCH. THE PROGRAM WAS SUCH A SUCCESS AND MET SUCH A NEED THAT IT CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. FAMILIES GRAB A PACK-A-SMILE LUNCH QUICKLY, SAFELY, AND WITHOUT LEAVING THE HOSPITAL. PACK-A-SMILE LUNCHES ARE NUTRITIOUS, INCLUDING ITEMS SUCH AS A LUNCHABLE OR UNCRUSTABLE, FRUIT, SOMETHING SALTY, SOMETHING SWEET, A BOTTLE OF WATER, AND A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OUR COMMUNITY. FOR THOSE FAMILIES FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO STAY WITH THEIR CHILD IN THE HOSPITAL, THERE ARE SOME DISADVANTAGES. ADEQUATE SLEEP WHILE ALWAYS KEEPING AN EAR OPEN TO HEAR THEIR CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. FOR THIS REASON, WE HAVE STARTED A TREAT TROLLEY THAT TRAVELS ROOM TO ROOM AT PRISMA HEALTH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO OFFER COFFEE, TEA, AND LIGHT BREAKFAST ITEMS.

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.

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.
