Program
2023 was an extraordinary year. On july 1, rmh of chapel hill formally merged with rmh of durham & wake to form ronald mcdonald house charities of the triangle, a partnership that had been underway for two years. All of our programs remain open, and growing. We hosted 482 families for 6,810 nights of hospitality at ronald mcdonald house from january thru june 2023. In addition, our ronald mcdonald family room at unc children's hospital hosted 643 respite visits for families of seriously ill children. 2023 also culminated in the organization of a new in-hospital program at unc, the ronald mcdonald hospitality kiosk, designed to support the families of babies in the unc newborn critical care center. All programs are offered to families of seriously ill children at no cost, thanks to the generous partnership of our volunteers and donors.

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 2022 to 2023, from $15M to $0 (−100%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 9% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
