FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
THE MISSION OF RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF KANSAS CITY IS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN OF CHILDHOOD ILLNESS ON CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. 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.
FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A & 4B
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. (RMHC-KC) 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 Childrens Mercy Hospital. The organizations 1st 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) visiting from throughout the Midwest. This House closed in March of 2006 when the new Ronald McDonald House in Longfellow Park opened for service. The organizations 2nd Ronald McDonald House, Cherry Street, opened in 1988 near Childrens Mercy Hospital at 2501 Cherry Street in Kansas City, Missouri. It is a 19-bedroom facility. The average length of stay for families at the Cherry Street House is just over nine days. The 3rd 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 nine days. The average length of stay in the suites is 11 days. Our Houses serve children receiving treatment at any local referring hospitals or medical treatment providers including - Childrens Mercy Hospital, the University of Kansas Medical Center, St. Lukes Hospital, Shawnee Mission Medical Center, The Rehabilitation Institute, and Overland Park Regional Hospital. In 2013, the two Kansas City Ronald McDonald Houses served more than 2,000 families with a combined average occupancy of 94.6%. The most common patient diagnoses included cardiac complications, hematology/oncology, premature birth, fetal health and surgeries. A majority of these families reside in Kansas (59%) 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. During 2013, construction of a new 20 bedroom Ronald McDonald House began which will increase the number of families served each year. The new House is expected to open in late 2014. Camp ChiMer, a camp for children with kidney disease was assumed by Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City in 2013. This weeklong camp, for children ages 9-17 years of age is held each summer on the scenic groups of Lake Doniphan. This camp served 46 children in 2013 with a goal to grow it to 60 campers in 2014. Camp ChiMer has been in existence for 26 years and is a collaboration between RMHC-KC and Childrens Mercy Hospital. LINE 4B: The organization also operates the Ronald McDonald Family Room, an extension program of Ronald McDonald House Charities providing respite in a home-like environment inside Childrens Mercy Hospital. The Family Room opened in 1997 and provides all the comforts of home and seven overnight rooms for families whose children are receiving care in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. In 2013, more than 2,200 families received lodging at the Ronald McDonald Family Room and more than 64,000 visits to the Family Room were logged by families of in-patients at Childrens Mercy Hospital. All in-patient families at Childrens 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 hospitals intensive care units. The majority of the organizations operating funds are raised through fundraising activities and donations from the community. Our two annual special events include our Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City Trent Green Golf Classic and the Red Shoe Shindig. In-kind donations are solicited for goods and services the Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Room need regularly, such as laundry supplies, pantry supplies, paper products, pest control services, and cleaning supplies. Ronald McDonald House Charities Kansas City would not be able to carry out its mission without the support of volunteers. In 2013 alone, 140 In-House Volunteers assisted our families for an average of eight hours a month. 1,387 groups participated in the Cooks for Kids program, and 279 corporations, schools and churches participated in our work group program. There were 262 individuals who volunteered to organize, plan and staff multiple fundraising events and special projects, including the Red Shoe Shindig and the Trent Green Golf Classic.
