Impact Strategy Framework

For the past 50 years, RMHC been a unique source of strength and support to families when their child is ill or injured. Each year, we strive to support more families, to meet even more of their needs, and to do so better than ever before.

That is why we embarked on a transformative, collaborative journey in 2023 to unite our diverse global network so we can further amplify our impact. The RMHC Impact Strategy Framework was co-created by the system to help us achieve strategic alignment and to enable us all to move forward as a system, with greater cohesion and impact than ever before.

Together, over the next several years, we can create a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.

What is the Impact Strategy Framework?

The Impact Strategy Framework was created through the collaboration of the entire system to help align on universal mission, vision, and purpose statements. The Framework defines our strategic priorities and focus areas as a system and expresses a unified set of values that guide us. Feedback from the system also identified enablers and foundations for RMHC. These are crucial to enhancing our ability to support more families, better than ever before.

Why does alignment matter?

We are a diverse system with more than 260 Chapters across more than 60 countries. Although each Chapter plays a vital role in meeting local needs, the real magic happens when we come together, unlocking the potential for a collective impact on a global scale.

When we all align, we can fortify our foundations, streamline operations, and significantly elevate the assistance we provide to the families we serve. We can do this while honoring the diversity of our system and the importance of maintaining the flexibility to address local needs.

The Impact Strategy Framework doesn't stifle individuality;
it empowers it.
