RMHCK GRANTS PROGRAM
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 a home away for home for families of children receiving healthcare at Louisville medical facilities while also lending support to other organizations who aid children. Grants are made to non profit organizations whose programs help children in need. Grants are awarded in the areas of healthcare, medical research, education and social responsibility.
Grant awards are supported by Kentuckiana McDonald’s Owners/Operators and Ronald McDonald House charities Global. Over $80,000 was awarded to non profit oranizations in 2009.
