Alpha Delta Pi Foundation: Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Endowment Grant

The Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, a private funder, established the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Endowment to support local RMHC Chapters in the U.S. and Canada that lack adequate backing from Alpha Delta Pi collegiate or alumnae associations. Since 1979, over $22 million has been contributed to RMHC, with grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 available for houses, renovations, and family room expansions, fostering a strong philanthropic partnership.

Alpha Delta Pi collegians and alumnae, as well as friends and family members of Alpha Delta Pi, show their philanthropic spirit in many ways. Alpha Delta Pi sisters make an impact on their campuses and in their communities. During the 2023-2024 academic year, Alpha Delta Pi contributed more than $2,076,000 to charitable organizations, including more than $1,889,000 to local Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) Chapters across the United States and Canada.
Since our partnership began in 1979, Alpha Delta Pi has contributed more than $22,400,000 to this worthwhile organization. Additionally, as part of the We Believe… Campaign, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation established the Ronald McDonald House Charities Endowment. This fund allows the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation to provide even more resources to RMHC worldwide.
As part of the We Believe … Campaign for Alpha Delta Pi, a Ronald McDonald House Charities Endowment was established at the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. This fund allows any Ronald McDonald House to apply directly for grants from the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, allowing us to support for:

• Houses that do not have an ADPi chapter or alumnae association nearby supporting them
• New houses being built
• Existing houses being renovated
• Family rooms that are being expanded and renovated
• Alpha Delta Pi supports approximately 40% of RMHC’s chapters worldwide, leaving significant room to grow our support for our cherished partner.

In honor and celebration of our 40th Anniversary as a philanthropic partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in 2019, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation began making annual grants from the RMHC Endowment to benefit locations that are not currently well-supported by either a local Alpha Delta Pi collegiate chapter or alumnae association.
Funding
The selected Chapters will receive grants of $2,000 to $10,000 to support their unique needs and special projects.
