Ronald McDonald House Charities Accepting Letters of Inquiry for Grants to Improve Lives of Children

Deadline: September 4, 2009 (Letter of Inquiry)

Ronald McDonald House Charities annually provides grants to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations whose national or global programs help improve the health and well being of children under age 21.

To be considered for funding, an applicant must be designated a not-for-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization. U.S. charities must have a current 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status letter on file with the Internal Revenue Service.

The RMHC Board of Trustees is most interested in national and international organizations that have a specific program related to children’s health and well-being. Organizations seeking funding should have a specific program that directly improves the health and well-being of children, addresses a significant funding gap or critical opportunity, has long-term impact in terms of replication or reach, produces measurable results, and is sustainable without relying on RMHC funding. Grants are not awarded to support ongoing general, operating, or administrative expenses.

Ronald McDonald House Charities does not award grants to projects/programs that are local in scope (i.e. those that focus on one particular community/state or those that are not replicable). Applicants, however, may contact their local RMHC Chapter for information about grants for local programs.

Visit the RMHC Web site for complete program guidelines and application procedures.
