Overview
Mission
To provide families of children experiencing a serious illness or injury requiring hospitalization or treatment, a "home away from home" that assists in alleviating families' emotional and financial stress.
What it reported doing in 2025
Ronald mcdonald house charities of ann arbor operates two houses (the main house and mott house) that provide up to 43 families each night with a safe and comforting "home away from home" while their child is receiving treatment at local hospitals. Families receive a private room and bathroom, access to common areas, kitchen, laundry, as well as home cooked meals. No family is ever charged for their stay, some lasting months. In 2025 there were 447 family stays with an average stay of 43 nights. 31,860 individual meals were served and 6,312 families were served by our hospitality carts located in the hospital.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
