As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ronald mcdonald house charities of the southwest, inc. ("rmhc") owns and operates the ronald mcdonald house in lubbock, tx. The 17-room facility provides temporary lodging to families of seriously ill children, age 21 and under, who must leave their own community to seek medical care for their child. The house serves children receiving treatment at university medical center, covenant womens and childrens hospital and other various clinics and doctors. Guests must be referred by a social worker and the child must be undergoing inpatient or outpatient care. We do accept nominal donations from guest families, which partially defrays the cost of operating the house, but no family is ever turned away due to lack of funds. The house is also an approved lodging facility for families covered by medicaid. We received $174,959.41 of in-kind donations of goods and services in 2024 covering program expenses that the charity would otherwise have to pay. Major in-kind donations include food, household items, and donated repairs/maintenance. The house is located on land owned by texas tech university. The yearly fair market rental value of this land has been valued at $48,000. Numerous…

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $5.6M to $6.5M (+17%).
