Ronald McDonald House Charities

Ronald McDonald House Charities seeks finds and supports programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children." We are a unique organization in that any tax exempt organization can apply as long as funds requested are for children under 18. They have been helping children and providing support to the Grand Rapids and Lansing Ronald McDonald Houses for the last twenty years. Two years ago we added a scholarship program for high school graduating seniors and have awarded twenty needy students with $8,000 each for college expenses.

We have provided dollars to help feed children, paid to refurbish residential treatment homes for teens, funded equipment for neonatal units in hospitals and child abuse centers, paid for educational materials in schools and after school programs, cultural programs, health related items and the list goes on and on.

The more children we can help the better and health related grants are high on our list for giving. If a child isn't healthy nothing else can compare...

With the Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Specialized Language Development Center is able to launch the "Tool Box for Success" campaign. For further information about the campaign call Maura Race in the Grand Rapids SLD office
