How can I donate items to the Houses?

Please be sure to contact the House before sending the items. Also please refer to the Wish List on the Support page, which contains a list of items that the Houses currently need.

How can individuals support the Houses?

There are various ways available to support the Houses, such as volunteering and regular monthly donations. For more details, please refer to the Support page.

How can companies and organizations support the Houses?

1. Host a donation box
One method of corporate support is to host a donation box in-house at your company/organization, and then manage and routinely remit the donations. This is an easy way to begin support and allows the company employees to make a social contribution from a familiar environment. 　

2. Matching gift program
Under this program, the company/organization sets a fixed figure for monetary donations, and then donates an amount that is equivalent to that fixed figure multiplied by the actual numerical achievement. This program allows companies and organizations to comfortably participate on an ongoing basis.
a. Matching gift based on company sales (units sold, %)
For example, setting a 1 yen donation amount per 1 unit sold would mean that 100,000 units sold will raise a 100,000 yen donation.
b. Matching gift based on volunteer hours served by employees
If a company set a 1 yen donation amount per 1 minute of employee volunteer work and 100 employees volunteered 3 hours per month, the company would donate 216,000 yen for the year.
c. Matching gift based on in-house monetary donations
Under this method, the company would host a donation box(es) at the workplace, solicit donations, and donate the same amount as the donation amount collected in the donation box(es). This is a good way to enhance the employees’ sense of participation in fund-raising or social contributions.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Ronald McDonald House Charities Japan is a public interest incorporated foundation. Donations therefore offer a tax advantage for corporate tax and other such taxes.
For details, please refer to the support by donation.

I want to volunteer at a House. What should I do?

Please directly contact the House at which you would like to volunteer. You will be able to start working as a volunteer after attending a volunteer briefing session held at the House and registering as a volunteer. Volunteers are generally asked to serve twice, 3 hours activities per month.

Are there any age restrictions for volunteering?

Volunteers are required to be in their second year of high school or older. Note that individuals under their second year of high school are allowed to volunteer if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
