Ronald McDonald House and the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation

Alpha Delta Pi collegians and alumnae, as well as friends and family members of Alpha Delta Pi, show their philanthropic spirit in many ways. Alpha Delta Pi sisters make an impact on their campuses and in their communities. During the 2024-2025 academic year, Alpha Delta Pi contributed more than $2,294,000 to charitable organizations, including more than $2,090,000 to local Ronald McDonald House® Chapters across the United States and Canada. 

We are proud of our long-standing relationship with Ronald McDonald House. Since our partnership began in 1979, Alpha Delta Pi has contributed more than $24,500,000 to this worthwhile organization. Additionally, as part of the We Believe… Campaign, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation established the Ronald McDonald House Endowment. This fund allows the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation to provide even more resources to Ronald McDonald House worldwide. 

Ronald McDonald House® is an independent, nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization that cares for millions of families when they have children who are ill or injured. Through a global network of over 255 independently operated Chapters in 62 countries and regions, we surround families with the resources, services and support they need, removing barriers so they can be at the heart of their child’s care and ensure the best possible health outcomes. 

Ronald McDonald House Endowment at the ADPi Foundation

As part of the We Believe … Campaign for Alpha Delta Pi, a Ronald McDonald House Endowment was established at the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. This fund allows any Ronald McDonald House to apply directly for grants from the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, allowing us to support for:

• Houses that do not have an ADPi chapter or alumnae association nearby supporting them
• New houses being built
• Existing houses being renovated
• Family rooms that are being expanded and renovated

Alpha Delta Pi supports approximately 40% of Ronald McDonald House Chapters worldwide, leaving significant room to grow our support for our philanthropic partner.
