Dear Grant Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).
Enclosed please find our Guidelines for Giving, a Grant Application Form and a list of
specific information we will need to review your application.
RMHC was established in 1984 in memory of McDonald’s founder, Ray Kroc, affirming
our commitment to children everywhere. RMHC’s mission is to help as many children as
possible achieve their fullest potential by supporting programs in three distinct areas: 1)
health care, 2) education and the arts, and 3) civic and social services.
RMHC provides funding for specific projects that address an organization’s real problems
and have a measurable impact, such as start-up programs, one-time programs, capital
improvement or durable equipment purchases. We do not provide funding for day-to-day
operations or general funds. In return for funding your project, RMHC asks that
appropriate recognition be given to our organization through the placement of a plaque
or other signage and/or press releases acknowledging our donation.
These guidelines are provided to help your organization prepare a successful grant
application. Please review them carefully and include with your proposal all the
information requested.
The Board of Trustees meets three times a year to review grants in the months of
February, June and October. All applications must be postmarked by the following dates:
December 1
st

Again, thank you for your interest in the Ronald McDonald House Charities. If you have
any questions regarding the enclosed material, please contact Janice Mulligan, Chapter
Manager, at (732) 623-8549 or via email at .
Sincerely,
Diane Piraino Koury
