RMHC New York Metro gives families with a child who is sick exactly what they need most – each other. We provide a home-away-from-home, family rooms, and hospitality services so families can stay close to the medical care their children need.
Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro Inc centers its giving on keeping families close to pediatric care, and its largest recent awards show that pattern clearly: $930,566 to Ronald McDonald House NY in 2025 and $757,742 in 2023 to the same recipient in New York. The foundation’s grants support the infrastructure that makes family-centered care possible, including hospital-adjacent housing, family rooms, in-hospital hospitality services, and practical support for caregivers. Its recent grants also show repeated support for affiliated houses serving different parts of the region, including Ronald McDonald House GHV in Valhalla and Ronald McDonald House CNJ in New Brunswick. The presence of recurring awards across multiple years suggests a funding approach tied to ongoing service delivery rather than one-time project bursts. A smaller grant to Danbury Hospital in 2023 shows that its support can also extend beyond the house network when it aligns with family support around children’s medical treatment. The organization operates with annual grants of $5,076,396 and total assets of $39,659,280, indicating a substantial regional grantmaker focused on direct, practical aid for families facing pediatric illness.
The foundation’s core cause area is hospital-adjacent temporary housing for families of hospitalized children. It gave $590,566 in 2025 to Ronald McDonald House GHV in Valhalla, and it also supported Ronald McDonald House CNJ in New Brunswick with $407,824 in 2024. Family rooms and in-hospital hospitality services are another clear priority. That work is reflected in its grants to Ronald McDonald House CNJ in New Brunswick, including $370,566 in 2025 and $367,742 in 2023, which align with support services that keep caregivers close to treatment. The foundation also funds broader operational support for family-centered care. Ronald McDonald House NY in New York received $743,824 in 2024, alongside earlier and later awards, showing attention to the ongoing costs of serving families during pediatric medical treatment.
Typical grant sizes are large: the 25th percentile is $368,448, the median is $463,824, and the 75th percentile is $705,510. The distribution points to substantial operating support rather than many small awards.

That pattern fits a funder structure built around sustained service delivery. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
