Partnering with families to build strong starts with trusted care, community, and connection. Maryland Family Network connects families to child care, early education, and parenting supports to give every child a strong start.
Maryland Family Network Inc. channels seven-figure operating grants into Early Head Start, child care resource centers, and family support infrastructure across Maryland. In 2025, it gave $2,121,404 to St Vincent De Paul of Baltimore Inc for operating an Early Head Start program in Baltimore City, and $1,419,832 to Maryland Rural Development Corp for operating an Early Head Start program in Cecil County. The same pattern appears in Baltimore City, where Kennedy Krieger received $2,087,206 in 2023 and $1,172,235 in 2025 for Early Head Start operations. The foundation also supports regional child care access networks, including Grants to Prince George's Child Resource Center Inc for a family support center and child care resource center in Prince George's County. Its work centers on child care, early childhood education, family support services, provider support and networks, and early childhood policy and advocacy. The grant list shows sustained support for operating programs rather than one-time project awards, with recurring awards to the same organizations across multiple years and county-level service delivery throughout Maryland.
Early Head Start operating support is a defining line of giving. Maryland Family Network Inc funded St Vincent De Paul of Baltimore Inc for Early Head Start in Baltimore City, Caroline County Board of Educ for Early Head Start in Caroline County, and Talbot County Health Dept for Early Head Start in Talbot County. It also backed Anne Arundel County Comm Action Agency for Early Head Start in Anne Arundel County and Housing Authority of Baltimore City for Early Head Start in Baltimore City. Another major theme is child care and provider infrastructure. The foundation awarded Abilities Network for a child care resource center serving Baltimore, Cecil, and Hartford counties, plus The Family Tree for a child care resource center in Baltimore City. Family support centers are part of the portfolio as well, including Prince George's Child Resource Center Inc for a family support center and child care resource center in Prince George's County.
Typical grants are large: p25 is $286,711, median is $432,534, and p75 is $791,015. The recent grants list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including multiple operating grants for Baltimore City and county-level programs. That pattern points to sustained operating support rather than isolated project funding. The foundation is a local funder, gives almost entirely in Maryland, and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. It also runs a rolling RFP for Patty Center–Family Support Programs, which is open to applicants and funded through pass-through state funds.
