Ronald McDonald House Charities Again Named One of America's Top 100 Charities by Worth Magazine
(CSRwire) OAK BROOK, IL - Worth magazine named Ronald McDonald House Charities
(RMHC), one of “America’s 100 Best Charities of 2002.”
This marks the second consecutive year RHMC has received this honor. The
article appears in Worth’s December/January 2003 issue.
Worth set out to find 100 nonprofits that have shown the greatest
effectiveness in advancing their missions and are “doing the best
job, dollar for dollar” in mitigating alarming problems in the
world. In its article “To Give Well, Give Wisely,” Worth chose
Ronald McDonald House Charities as one of the 13 top national health
organizations most deserving of philanthropic support from a pool of more
than 850,000 organizations in the U. S.
In selecting the 100 charities that have the biggest positive impact,
Worth interviewed hundreds of philanthropy experts and extensively
reviewed the charities' three-year average of revenue allocated to
programs, administration, fundraising, and reserves for the future. The
magazine reports: "We are confident that the charities on this list will
spend your money wisely and will do their best to change some of the grim
facts of today's world that we all face.”
“We are honored to be included once again in Worth magazine’s
list of top 100 charities,” said Ken Barun, President and CEO of
Ronald McDonald House Charities. “This is well-deserved recognition
for our donors, suppliers, McDonald’s owner/operators, and the more
than 30,000 volunteers who have helped build this charity around the
world.”
Ronald McDonald House Charities, a non-profit, 501(c)3, creates, finds and
supports programs that directly improve the health and well being of
children through its network of 174 local Chapters currently serving in 44
countries. The Charity makes grants to not-for-profit organizations and
provides support to Ronald McDonald Houses and Ronald McDonald Care
Mobiles worldwide. To date, Ronald McDonald House Charities' national body
and global network of local Chapters have awarded more than $340 million in
grants to children's programs.
