Ronald McDonald House of Long Island

What Ronald McDonald House of Long Island does

Ronald McDonald House of Long Island is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 11-2764747) founded in 1985 and headquartered in New Hyde Park, New York. It operates as a local chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) under trademarks licensed from McDonald's Corporation. The organization serves families of seriously ill or injured children receiving medical treatment on Long Island by removing lodging, meal, and support barriers during pediatric healthcare episodes.

The core service portfolio comprises three programs: the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park (overnight lodging for families), Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms (in-hospital family-support spaces), and Hospitality Carts (mobile comfort-item delivery in hospital waiting areas). A new Stony Brook facility is under development via an active capital campaign. The organization holds BBB Accredited Charity status and a Charity Navigator four-star rating, and it delivers services free of charge to qualifying families.

The business model is charitable donation-funded rather than commercial. Revenue is generated through individual donations, corporate and McDonald's-affiliated contributions, planned-giving and naming opportunities, signature fundraising events (40th Anniversary Gala, Fall Celebration, Eat Drink Play, Lloyd Frazier Memorial Golf Outing), peer-to-peer fundraising, and volunteer-driven in-kind support. Distribution is regional to Long Island via direct facility access, hospital-based Family Rooms, and mobile carts, with marketing concentrated on organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and email newsletter via Constant Contact.
