McDonald's Kinderhilfe Deutschland

The McDonald's Kinderhilfe Deutschland is a non-profit foundation that has been committed to the health and well-being of children in Germany since 1987. It operates nationwide Ronald McDonald Häuser and Oasen, which provide families of seriously ill children a temporary home and give them security.

Main Mission and Values

The main mission of the foundation is to provide support to families in difficult times by enabling them to stay close to their sick children. This promotes the healing process and gives families a sense of normalcy and togetherness. The values of the foundation include family orientation, security, and support.

Key Products and Services

Ronald McDonald Häuser: These offer families spacious apartments with common areas, allowing them to stay close to their sick children.
Ronald McDonald Oasen: These are located directly in the clinics and provide families a retreat during treatment appointments.
Support Programs: The foundation supports projects dedicated to the well-being of children.

Organization and Structure

The foundation is governed by three bodies: the Board, the Foundation Council, and the Curatorium. These bodies ensure efficient and sustainable foundation work. Adrian Köstler is the board member of the McDonald's Kinderhilfe Stiftung and has significantly contributed to the development of new facilities[3].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

The McDonald's Kinderhilfe is primarily funded by donations from McDonald's Deutschland, its franchisees, suppliers, and private donors[1]. The foundation is committed to sustainable and efficient use of donations to meet the long-term support needs of families with seriously ill children. Regional fundraising plays an important role in covering the operating costs of the houses[4].

Current Developments

In recent years, the foundation has expanded its capacities and opened new houses and oases. Prof. Dr. Thomas Erler, a renowned physician, leads the curatorium and brings his expertise to the foundation's work[3]. Close collaboration with clinics ensures that support is targeted and meets the needs.
