When a child is sick, their family should be by their side. Your recurring gift enables thousands of families each year to stay close to their hospitalized children.
Your pledge helps guarantee that more families – now and in the future – can be together during their greatest time of need.
Our Houses and Family Rooms are just like your home – we need the basics and more to comfort and support families.
You can make an extraordinary difference with ordinary, everyday items to keep our Houses running and help families feel at home.
Buy a Brick
Buying a brick is about remembering the past and building a better future. It’s a perfect way to commemorate a loved one, remember a moment, offer thanks and gratitude, and help those in need find the path toward healing.
Host a Fundraiser
Bake sales, peer-to-peer online fundraisers, 5Ks, cocktail parties, wish list donation drives, in-store promotions – if you want to engage your community to help families, we can help you make it happen.
Legacy Planning
By designating assets from your estate to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, you can leave a legacy of care and hope while supporting a cause you care about beyond your lifetime.
Your donation helps to fund all of our Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room, and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile programs.
Your gift provides meals for families and covers their stay so they can focus on what matters most: their children. When you donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, you fund hope.
One question we often receive is, “Why do you need donations? Doesn’t McDonald’s fund the Charity?”
While McDonald’s and its local owner/operators are an important corporate partner, no one company funds our programs entirely. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, we rely on the support of the entire community and greatly value all donations.
