What Is Ronald McDonald House Charities

Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest (RMHC INW) provides temporary lodging, social and emotional support, at no charge, for families of children accessing medical services.

Sometimes, we all just need a little help. This is especially true for the families across 15 counties in Washington and Idaho that come to stay with us at Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest. Of the families we serve, 60% have less than 24-hour notice, or travel over 124 miles, with an average length of stay of 28 days. 

What Is The Windermere Foundation

Giving back has always been a big part of who the Windermere Foundation is. In the early days of Windermere, it was pretty simple; see a need and help in any way possible. As the company grew, they established a common purpose in order to do more good in one area. That’s how the Windermere Foundation was born. Housing is their business, so helping homeless families seemed like a natural fit. Later the focus expanded to include low-income families, with an emphasis on helping children. For the past 30 years a portion of every Windermere agent’s commission has been donated to the Windermere Foundation. Having 100% participation gives them a common purpose and sends a powerful message about commitment to the community. Last year alone they provided funding to hundreds of organizations throughout the Western U.S., including homeless shelters, food banks, schools, hospitals, community centers, and more. For the past 30 years, these are the types of needs the Windermere Foundation has helped meet thanks to the collective generosity of our agents and the community.
