PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE G, PART I, LINE 2A WE ARE CURRENTLY IN YEAR 3 OF OUR CONTRACT WITH TRUE SENSE MARKETING. THE FIRST FEW YEARS ARE ACQUISITION YEARS. WE ARE PAYING TO ACCUMULATE DONORS THAT WILL BE CULTIVATED FOR FUTURE GIFTS. OVER TIME, THE REVENUE STREAMS FROM THESE DONORS WILL GREATLY OUTWEIGH THE EXPENSES INCURRED FOR SUCH MAILINGS. WE ARE USING A "PAY AS YOU GROW" MODEL. THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PAY THE EXPENSES UNTIL THE REVENUE INCOME IS AVAILABLE. BECAUSE WE WERE AWARE OF THE EXPENSE AMOUNT THAT WAS INCURRED BUT NOT DUE AS OF 12/31/2010, WE POSTED THESE EXPENSES TO OUR FINANCIALS.

WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY PROVIDING COMFORTABLE LODGING CONVENIENT TO LOCAL HEALTH FACILITIES, CREATING A CARING AND UPLIFTING ENVIRONMENT, LEVERAGING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS WITH AFFILITATED PROGRAMS THAT COMFORT AND ASSIST CHILDREN WITH HEALTH CONCERNS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND BY UNDERTAKING RESOURSE AND FUND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT OUR FACILITIES, PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
NOTE 2 - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A, 4B AND 4C LINE 4A: THE CORPORATION IS FORMED FOR CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954, OR CORRESPONDING PROVISIONS OF ANY SUBSEQUENT FEDERAL TAX LAWS. THE ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS THE WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES FACING SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERNS, INCLUDING PROVIDING ASSISTANCE AND TEMPORARY LODGING PRIMARILY FOR SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WHILE RECEIVING TREATMENT AT NEARBY HOSPITALS, AND PARTNERING WITH OTHER HEALTH-CARE RELATED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO BENEFIT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF KANSAS CITY, INC. OWNS AND OPERATES TWO RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES IN KANSAS CITY, PROVIDING TEMPORARY LODGING FOR FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN WHO MUST LEAVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE FOR THEIR CHILD. IN ADDITION, A THIRD FACILITY CALLED THE FAMILY ROOM IS OPERATED BY RMHC-KC INSIDE OF CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL. THE ORGANIZATION'S FIRST RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OPENED IN 1981 NEAR THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER AT 1901 OLATHE BLVD. (41ST & STATE LINE ROAD) IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. THE 11-BEDROOM FACILITY SERVED 581 FAMILIES IN THE FINAL FULL YEAR OF OPERATIONS (2005) FROM THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST. THIS HOUSE CLOSED IN MARCH OF 2006 WHEN THE NEW RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IN LONGFELLOW PARK OPENED FOR SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION'S SECOND RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, CHERRY STREET, OPENED IN 1988 NEAR CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL AT 2501 CHERRY STREET IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI. IT IS A 19-BEDROOM FACILITY. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY FOR THE FAMILIES AT THE CHERRY STREET HOUSE IS FOUR DAYS. THE THIRD RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE, LONGFELLOW, OPENED IN 2006. THIS HOUSE IS A 41-BEDROOM FACILITY LOCATED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CHERRY STREET HOUSE AT 2502 CHERRY STREET. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY IN THE STANDARD ROOMS AT LONGFELLOW IS SEVEN DAYS.

IN 2010, THE TWO KANSAS CITY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES SERVED NEARLY 2,400 FAMILIES WITH A COMBINED AVERAGE OCCUPANCY OF 80%. THE MOST COMMON PATIENT DIAGNOSES INCLUDED CARDIAC COMPLICATIONS, CANCER, PREMATURE BIRTH, AND SURGERIES. A MAJORITY OF THESE FAMILIES RESIDE IN KANSAS (60%) AND MISSOURI (35%). FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN AGE 21 OR YOUNGER ARE ELIGIBLE TO STAY AT THE KANSAS CITY RONALD MCDONALD HOUSES WITH PRIORITY BEING GIVEN TO THOSE FAMILIES WHO RESIDE OUTSIDE OF KANSAS CITY BY AT LEAST 35 MILES AND THEY ARE REFERRED BY THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEIR CHILD IS RECEIVING CARE. WHILE THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR OUR SERVICES, DONATIONS OF $10 PER NIGHT ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED TO ENSURE THESE SERVICES CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE GUESTS. NO FAMILY IS EVER TURNED AWAY DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO MAKE A DONATION.

ALL IN-PATIENT FAMILIES AT CHILDREN'S MERCY HOSPITAL ARE ELIGIBLE TO USE THE FAMILY ROOM DURING THE DAY, AND THE SEVEN OVERNIGHT ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE IN THE HOSPITAL'S INTENSIVE CARE UNITS. THE MAJORITY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S OPERATING FUNDS ARE RAISED THROUGH FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES AND DONATIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY. OUR THREE ANNUAL SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDE OUR TRENT GREEN GOLF CLASSIC, THE RED SHOE SHINDIG AND PLAZA PZAZZ, AN OUTDOOR GALA.
