Relationship with McDonald's
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida is a local chapter within the international network of Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Although it is licensed by the McDonald's Corporation to use its name, the agency is an independent 501(c)(3) with a local Board of Directors and must raise 100% of its operating and program expenses through gifts from businesses and individuals. It is not owned or operated by the McDonald’s Corporation or any other McDonald’s company.
Local McDonald’s Restaurant owners/operators generously support us through personal donations; leadership on our board; participation in the annual Mc Happy Day fundraiser; and by hosting RMHC Donation Boxes in their restaurants.
