Ronald Mcdonald House Charities Of Central Ohio, Inc.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Columbus, Ohio, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants rather than as a prime contractor or grant recipient, receiving funding through the Ohio Department of Medicaid to provide family lodging services during pediatric medical treatment.

The organization's entire federal footprint consists of three grant sub-awards, all flowing from the Ohio Department of Medicaid as the prime grantee on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The sub-awards span April 2024 through October 2025 and carry a combined obligated value of $1.6 million. The work is concrete and single-purpose: Ronald McDonald House Charities furnishes lodging for families with children under 21 years of age who are enrolled in Ohio Medicaid, have special health care needs, and reside more than fifty miles from the Ohio children's hospital where the patient receives care. This is the only customer agency in the source data (100% of awards), and activity shows two sub-awards in 2024 and one in 2025.

Because the vendor operates only as a sub-recipient, it does not sit on any federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs, and it does not function as a federal prime. The vendor's mission and award pattern reflect a direct charitable purpose — subsidizing family proximity during pediatric hospitalization for Ohio Medicaid-eligible families — rather than a commercial service or products capability. Growth trajectory and recompete exposure are not materially relevant; the award footprint is modest and specialized to a single state Medicaid program's lodging support requirement.
