This 6-bedroom facility opened march 2, 1998 and is open twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. The house provides temporary lodging to the family of seriously ill children who must leave their own community to seek medical care for their child. In 2020, families stayed as guests at the house for periods ranging from a few days to a few months. Families of seriously ill children age 18 and under are eligible to stay at the ronald mcdonald house. They must be referred to the house by a physician, nurse or social worker and must be undergoing inpatient or outpatient care at the local medical facility. A contribution of $10 per night per family is requested, but no family is ever turned away due to lack of funds.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.9M to $1.7M (−9%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.
