McDonald’s Relationship

The McDonald’s Greater Wisconsin Owner/Operators Syndicate (GWOS), along with their supplier network, supports 10-15% of our annual budget through various fundraising efforts. 

While McDonald’s is our largest corporate partner, we rely on the support of the entire community – including donors, foundations, and partners – to make our work possible.

Our founding & forever partner

McDonald’s played a vital role in the inception of the first Ronald McDonald House, which opened in Philadelphia in October 1974.
