Planned giving is a vital part of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati’s long-term future.

By remembering us in your will or estate plans, you help make sure that we can provide a “home away from home” for future generations of guest families.

There are many forms of planned gifts. Often a planned gift can help you make a more significant gift than you might have otherwise imagined -- without sacrificing income or security for your own family.

• A bequest in your will or living trust lets you take care of loved ones first and make a remarkable difference in the lives of others.


• Naming us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan can help your heirs avoid double taxation while sharing your generosity with our families as well.


• The gift of life insurance transforms a modest investment into a much larger benefit both for you and for the families we serve.

Your planned gift can support a particular program or service the House provides, honor of a loved one, or be designated to our endowment fund.

Individuals who have made a bequest or estate gift to the House are welcomed as lifetime members of our Pillars of the House Society. Members are regularly recognized and thanked for their enduring generosity.

We also respect that some donors prefer anonymity. We would invite you to let us know about your plans on a confidential basis in any case. This greatly helps us plan wisely for the future.
