STATEMENT OF PURPOSE


McDonald's founder Ray A. Kroc taught his family to share its success with others, a philosophy that has characterized McDonald's community commitment since 1955. The establishment of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in Ray's memory confirmed McDonald's commitment to children everywhere.

Making its first grant in 1988, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana (RMHCK) continues to provide "comfort and care" to children and families in the Kentuckiana region through its support of the Ronald McDonald House of Louisville and by making grants to nonprofit organizations whose programs help children in need. Grants are made in the areas of healthcare, medical research, education and social responsibility. 

Our cornerstone program, the Ronald McDonald House of Louisville, is a "home away from home" for families with ill and injured children who must travel to Louisville for medical treatment. Families who stay at the House find other families with the same concerns, and staff and volunteers who listen and who care. While RMHCK continues to provide financial and institutional support to the Ronald McDonald House, the House must rely on the generosity of the people and businesses of Kentuckiana to provide the bulk of the funds necessary for its operation.
