THE HOUSE CREATES A HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME AND SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY FOR FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES RECEIVING SPECIALIZED TREATMENT AT LOCAL HOSPITALS. THE FACILITY PROVIDES TEMPORARY LODGING TO FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN WHO MUST LEAVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITY TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE FOR THEIR CHILD. THE HOUSE CAN ACCOMMODATE 47 FAMILIES PER NIGHT.SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATIONFAMILIES OF CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN AGE 18 AND UNDER ARE REFERRED TO RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE BY PHYSICIANS AND SOCIAL WORKERS. THE HOUSE REQUESTS ONLY A NOMINAL $10 PER NIGHT, PER FAMILY, WHICH DEFRAYS ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE COST OF HOUSING THE FAMILY. NO FAMILY IS EVER TURNED AWAY DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. THE HOUSE IS AN APPROVED LODGING FACILITY FOR FAMILIES COVERED BY CALIFORNIA CHILDREN'S SERVICES, INSURANCE PLANS OF MANY OTHER STATES, PLUS KAISER AND OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES.THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY AT THE HOUSE HAS RISEN DRAMATICALLY AS MEDICAL ADVANCES ALLOW DOCTORS TO TREAT EVERMORE CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN. THE HOUSE PROVIDED SERVICES TO NEARLY 500 FAMILIES IN 2011, WITH A TOTAL OF 13,796 GUEST NIGHTS. WHILE THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY FOR A FAMILY IN 2011 WAS 28 DAYS, MORE THAN 60% OF THE HOUSE ROOMS WERE NEEDED FOR LONG-TERM FAMILIES.IN ORDER TO ASSIST FAMILIES WHO ARE STAYING AT THE HOUSE FOR LONG-TERM STAYS, THE HOUSE STAFFS TEEN AND CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY ROOMS, A COMPUTER LAB, SUMMER CAMP AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. LONG-TERM FAMILIES REQUIRE MORE ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN WHO MIGHT BE FAR FROM HOME FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. ACTIVITIES THAT BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY AT THE HOUSE PROVIDE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND AID IN HEALING. KEEPING A REGULAR ROUTINE HELPS FAMILIES MAINTAIN A SENSE OF NORMALCY WHILE LIVING AWAY FROM HOME.A HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOMEA FAMILY CARE MANAGER ON STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE 47 ROOMS ARE FULLY UTILIZED IN KEEPING WITH THE HOUSE'S MISSION TO PROVIDE A HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME FOR AS MANY FAMILIES AS POSSIBLE.APPROXIMATELY 100 VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT THE GUESTS AND STAFF OF THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE BY PROVIDING REGISTRATION, OFFICE ASSISTANCE, ACTIVITY COORDINATION, MEAL PREPARATION FOR FAMILIES, AND BUILDING MAINTENANCE. IN ADDITION, 15 VOLUNTEERS STAFF A COMPUTER LEARNING FOR ILL KIDS (CLIK) PROGRAM AND A COMPUTER ROOM WITH INTERNET ACCESS WHERE FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO EMAIL; YOUNG PATIENTS CAN KEEP UP WITH THEIR STUDIES AND RELAX WITH COMPUTER GAMES.SERVICES PROVIDED FOR THE FAMILIES ARE WHAT TRULY MAKE THIS HOUSE A "HOME AWAY FROM HOME," ENABLING MOM AND DAD TO FOCUS ON CARING FOR THEIR SICK CHILD. FAMILY ACTIVITIES PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE ORGANIC AND INFORMAL SUPPORT GROUPS ARE FORMED, STRESS LEVELS ARE DECREASED, AND SMALL "ESCAPES" CAN BE ENJOYED. OVER 200 VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS THAT BRING JOY AND COMFORT TO FAMILIES DURING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME: * MEALS FOR MUNCHKINS * "HAPPY WHEELS" HOSPITAL CART * FAMILY PORTRAITS * HOLIDAY EVENTS & ACTIVITIES * HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS (MASSAGE, THERAPY, HAIRCUTS, SPA DAYS)ADDITIONALLY, VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE VITAL SUPPORT FOR THE HOUSE MISSION AS MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OVER 500 VOLUNTEERS HELP CREATE THE HOUSE'S ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS. IN 2011, VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED OVER 25,000 HOURS OF TIME FOR AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF OVER $562,000 DRAMATICALLY REDUCING THE NEED FOR HIRED STAFF.MORE THAN SHELTERTHE HOUSE NURTURES THE WHOLE FAMILY IN ADDITION TO THE CRITICALLY ILL CHILD. HEALING AND PERSONAL WELL-BEING FORM THE FRAMEWORK FOR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMMING AT RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE AT STANFORD. IT IS OUR MISSION TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE ADULTS AND CHILDREN FEEL NURTURED AND SAFE, AND WHERE PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED THAT ENRICH THEIR LIVES WHILE AMELIORATING THE STRESS OF COMPLEX CRITICAL TREATMENTS LIKE OPEN-HEART SURGERY, KIDNEY, LUNG OR LIVER TRANSPLANTS, RADIATION, OR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS. WHAT A FAMILY RECEIVES WHEN THEY STAY AT THE HOUSE IS MUCH MORE THAN THE BUILDING ITSELF PROVIDES. THEY RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES OCCUPYING THE 47 ROOMS IN THE HOUSE. RECENTLY TWO NEW PROGRAMS WERE IMPLEMENTED TO SERVE EVEN MORE FAMILIES OF SERIOUSLY-ILL CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY STAYING AT THE HOUSE. THE HAPPY WHEELS CART MAKES ROUNDS AT THE HOSPITAL, STAFFED BY HOUSE VOLUNTEERS, AND PROVIDES A BIT OF COMFORT AND LOVE TO PARENTS WITH TOILETRIES, A HOT BEVERAGE OR SNACK, WHILE ALSO KEEPING THE LITTLE ONES ENTERTAINED WITH BOOKS, ACTIVITIES AND TOYS. THE DAY PASS PROGRAM INVITES FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE BEING TREATED AT PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO ENJOY THE COMFORT AND AMENITIES OFFERED AT THE HOUSE FROM 11:00 AM TO 7:00 PM. THIS PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FAMILIES STAYING IN HOTELS OR BEDSIDE TO GET THE RESPITE NEEDED TO HELP THEM MAINTAIN THEIR FOCUS ON THEIR CHILD'S HEALTH.A WELL-MAINTAINED FACILITYTHE HOUSE OFFERS A TRUSTED ENVIRONMENT FOR CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREN TO STAY INCLUDING TWO WINGS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN WITH SUPPRESSED IMMUNE SYSTEMS DUE TO HEART, LUNG OR STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS. LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL DOCTORS HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO DISCHARGE A PATIENT SOONER, IF THEY KNOW THE CHILD IS GOING TO STAY AT THE HOUSE. TO ENSURE A WELL MAINTAINED FACILITY, THE HOUSE HAS A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM TO KEEP ALL SYSTEMS IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION. THE HOUSE HAS EMBARKED ON A GREEN INITIATIVE, REPLACING ALL CLEANING PRODUCTS WITH GREEN ALTERNATIVES, AND IS EVALUATING ALL AREAS TO DISCOVER WHERE ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINING ALTERNATIVES ARE APPROPRIATE.LEVERAGING RESOURCESAPPROXIMATELY $311,000 OF IN-KIND DONATIONS OF GOODS AND SERVICES WERE RECEIVED IN 2011 COVERING PROGRAM EXPENSES THAT THE CHARITY WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO PAY, AS WELL AS SPECIAL CHEERING GIFTS FOR THE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN. MAJOR IN-KIND DONATIONS INCLUDE LINEN SERVICE, SOFT DRINKS, RESTAURANT COUPONS FOR GUESTS, FROZEN AND DRY FOOD ITEMS, DONATED DINNERS, CLEANING SUPPLIES, DAILY NEWSPAPERS, AND TOYS AND GAMES FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. IN ADDITION, THE LEASED PROPERTY ON WHICH THE HOUSE SITS IS LEASED AT $1/YEAR FROM STANFORD. THE ANNUAL DONATED LEASE AMOUNT IS CURRENTLY VALUED AT $228,888.ADDITIONALLY, APPROXIMATELY $300,000 OF IN-KIND GOODS AND SERVICES WERE RECEIVED AND USED FOR FUNDRAISING THROUGH TWO MAJOR ANNUAL EVENTS, MINIMIZING THE COST OF PRODUCING THE EVENTS. THESE FUNDRAISING EVENTS WERE DESIGNED TO BEST UTILIZE THESE GIFTS TO RAISE MUCH NEEDED CASH.RELYING ON COMMUNITY SUPPORTWITH OVER 85% OF REVENUE COMING FROM CONTRIBUTIONS, AND HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF HELP EACH WEEK FROM VOLUNTEERS; COMMUNITY SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL TO THE HOUSE'S SUCCESS. ROOM REVENUE REPRESENTS LESS THAN 10% OF THE TOTAL COST OF HOUSING THE FAMILIES WHO STAY AT RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE. THIS ROOM REVENUE IS COMPOSED OF THE DE MINIMUS ROOM RATE PAID BY THE FAMILIES BASED ON THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, AS WELL AS ROOM REVENUE PAID BY STATE-FUNDED AGENCIES, BASED ON ELIGIBILITY OF THE FAMILIES TO RECEIVE THIS AID. NO FAMILY IS EVER EXCLUDED DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY.AS THE ROOM REVENUE IS THE ONLY TYPE OF "SERVICE FEE" RECEIVED, THE REMAINING 90+% OF THE COST OF PROVIDING HOUSING IS FUNDED BY CONTRIBUTIONS. ALTHOUGH THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS NEEDED TO BE RAISED IS ASTRONOMICALLY HIGHER THAN PEER ORGANIZATIONS, FUNDRAISING EFFECTIVENESS, EVEN IN THIS CHALLENGING ECONOMY, HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT OVER 4.5 (4.5 DOLLARS RAISED FOR EVERY DOLLAR SPENT). THE FUNDRAISING EXPENSE PERCENTAGE IS ONLY AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT RECEIVE A MAJORITY OF THEIR FUNDING FROM SERVICE FEES. OF THE 90+% RAISED TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE HOUSE, LESS THAN 6% COMES FROM MCDONALD'S CORPORATION, ITS FRANCHISE OWNERS AND THEIR LOCAL CHARITY CHAPTER. THE REMAINING 84% COMES FROM INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS. IT IS THANKS TO THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF OUR GREATER COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO OFFER HELP TO FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS.LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURETHE DEMAND FOR THE HOUSE'S SERVICES IS GROWING AS THE LEVEL OF CARE PROVIDED BY LUCILE PACKARD CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CONTINUES TO PROGRESS AND DRAW SICKER CHILDREN. TO MEET THE EXPANDED POPULATION COMING FROM AFAR FOR PEDIATRIC MEDICAL SERVICES THE HOUSE HAS SPENT SEVERAL YEARS ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GROW TO MEET THE NEED. IN 2011, THE HOUSE BEGAN FORMAL EXPANSION PLANS. STANFORD UNIVERSITY GENEROUSLY OFFERED ANOTHER $1/YEAR LEASE ON THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR, WHICH WILL ALLOW US TO BUILD AN ADJACENT 51,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY. A NUMBER OF CAPITAL GIFTS WERE SECURED DURING THE YEAR, AND GROUNDWORK WAS LAID FOR THE LAUNCH OF A FORMAL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. 2336549 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 15 1 1 29 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 21 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X CYNTHIA SEMENOFF DIRECTOR OF FINAN 6504706009 520 SAND HILL ROAD PALO ALTO CA 94304 HONEY MEIR-LEVI 40.00 X X 169176 0 51331 BRAD LYMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DENISE COTE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN DINSMORE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH MUELLER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA SEMENOFF 40.00 X 93529 0 13908 BERN BEECHAM 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREGG DAVIS 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUDY KIRKPATRICK 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT KRESEK 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURIE LACOB 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATIE MARTIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 JIM MCCAUGHEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEAN RISKAS 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT RODERICK 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA SHAPIRO 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN TWIETMEYER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL BERSTEIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN BOYD 1.00 X 0 0 0 JANICE ROBERTS 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL RUBENSTEIN 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALLISON LEOPOLD TILLEY 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA LYON 40.00 X 110443 0 6478 373148 0 71717 2 0 1 0 CUSTOMIZED PERFORMANCE INC 1342 RIDDER PARK DRIVE SAN JOSE CA 95131 JANITORIAL & HOUSEKEEPING 112303 1 16124 1167513 3036623 481509 4220260 PROGRAM SERVICE REV 624100 169026 169026 ROOM DONATIONS 624100 60406 60406 229432 505580 505580 6440299 6599913 -159614 -159614 -159614 278201 1167513 436350 -158149 -158149 204550 145846 58704 58704 OTHER INCOME 624100 6830 6830 6830 4703043 229432 0 253351 334797 200878 100529 33390 853585 512151 97310 244124 35323 21194 3238 10891 80218 48131 7550 24537 92764 55659 14842 22263 32308 19385 5169 7754 76244 76244 191310 184812 2601 3897 39562 32458 3030 4074 18997 14197 1920 2880 373693 362683 7340 3670 33658 20195 5385 8078 430407 417495 8608 4304 64221 62295 1284 642 PRINTING AND SUPPLIES 448400 299853 1989 146558 DONOR ENG & RECOGNITION 149847 37412 18164 94271 PUBLIC RELATIONS & NEWS 45308 42401 1163 1744 TAXES AND FEES 9023 5350 100 3573 3309665 2336549 356466 616650 2666206 4353816 6601996 8800554 2426898 769019 29249 34552 17907145 4990384 13339263 12916761 15150616 14101351 0 0 2152583 2093752 42366811 43069805 6868 39798 161341 280162 168209 319960 X 19653300 19614815 13569927 14066489 8975375 9068541 42198602 42749845 42366811 43069805 X 1393378 -842135 X X 0 1 1 X 0 X 3277218 3079548 7288376 4272615 4220260 22138017 3277218 3079548 7288376 4272615 4220260 22138017 2739938 19398079 566604 462835 485225 471034 505580 2491278 12526 7591 7277 6651 6830 40875 24670170 2953673 0.78630 0.79350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 14505394 93166 -472850 14125710 13551759 39844 1526931 613140 14505394 12014849 41171 2117170 621431 13551759 15517474 72258 -3574883 12014849 1.00000 0 0 17167020 4330441 12836579 686873 659943 26930 53252 53252 12916761 ACCRUED EXPENSES 280162 280162 4703043 3309665 1393378 -783304 -58831 -842135 551243 4703337 -783304 352698 582196 151590 4551747 151296 151296 4703043 4152094 411529 582196 993725 3158369 151296 151296 3309665 DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: THE HOUSE'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF DONOR RESTRICTED FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOUSE.

IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, THE HOUSE CONSIDERED THE LONG-TERM EXPECTED RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, THE HOUSE EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT AN AVERAGE OF 3% ANNUALLY. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS HELD IN PERPETUITY AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN.
