Every visit to McDonald’s is an opportunity to help families with ill and injured children stay near the care they need. When you place your order in the restaurant, at the drive-thru, on a kiosk, or through the mobile app, simply choose to Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House and your spare change will make a meaningful difference for families in need. If you do not see the Round-Up option on the kiosk or are not asked by a crew member, do not hesitate to ask to “Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House.” Every cent helps provide comfort, care, and support for families during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Many of our supporters choose to support our future through planned gifts. Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are typically made from assets in your estate rather than from disposable income and may come to fruition after your lifetime. Even people of modest means can make a difference in the lives of children by planning a gift.

If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income. For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify Ronald McDonald House® SWFL of your gift.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies Ronald McDonald House® SWFL of your intentions. Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.

Did you know many companies offer a matching gift program to encourage philanthropy among their employees? And some companies will even match spouses and retirees. Check with your company’s human resources department to see if your company offers a matching gift program.
