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

House Charities of Central Iowa provides
grants to not-for-profit organizations whose programs help

Inc., supports other children's programs by giving grants to
not-for-profit organizations benefiting children throughout the
community. The local grant money used to support these
charities comes from fund raising efforts of McDonalds'
restaurants in Central Iowa. Through collection canisters in
McDonald's restaurants and local and national promotions, monies are
raised and given to RMHC. Matching funds from RMHC's Global
office are also available for some grants.
