Resource Connections Inc focuses its giving on frontline care providers—particularly organizations that serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, adults in residential or day programs, and related rehabilitation and community support services—mostly in the Maryland/Prince George's County area. The foundation’s grants are explicitly targeted as direct wage-supplement support for staff, suggesting a priority on stabilizing and strengthening workforce capacity at provider agencies. Many recipients are service delivery nonprofits (including faith‑based and community groups) rather than advocacy or capital projects.
Resource Connections Inc concentrates its grantmaking on direct support wage supplements for agencies that employ frontline staff serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Maryland. In the 2023 grants file, the single largest award went to The Arc Prince George's County Inc for $674,204, followed by $342,989 to Ardmore Enterprises Inc and $255,506 to Ourcare Inc. Those awards point to a consistent priority: stabilizing compensation for direct care workers at provider organizations rather than funding capital projects or broad advocacy. The recipients are mostly residential, day-program, supported employment, and community-based service providers, with several located in Prince George's County and nearby Maryland communities. That pattern is reinforced by grants to organizations such as Epic (smvi), Living Hope Inc, and Melwood, all labeled for direct support wage supplement use. The foundation’s giving is entirely within Maryland, and the recipient list includes both larger disability-service nonprofits and smaller community agencies. Across the recent grants list, the same purpose text appears repeatedly, indicating a focused funding model centered on workforce retention and compensation support for human services staff.
The clearest theme in Resource Connections Inc’s grantmaking is wage support for disability-service providers. For 2023, it gave $246,128 to Epic (smvi) and $227,488 to Living Hope Inc, both labeled direct support wage supplement. The portfolio also includes $104,761 to Melwood and $95,512 to the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives, again for the same purpose. Beyond disability services, the foundation supports broader community-based human services. It awarded $130,434 to Family Service Foundation Inc and $53,665 to Social Health Services Group, each in Maryland and each tagged for direct support wage supplement use. Smaller grants to organizations such as Caroline Center Inc and Chi Center Inc show that the funder also reaches neighborhood service providers, not only larger regional agencies. The repeated use of the same purpose language suggests a consistent restricted-use approach tied to staffing costs.
Grant sizes cluster around a midrange that fits restricted operating support: p25 is $29,816, median is $95,868, and p75 is $171,708. The 2023 list shows a wide spread, from a $7,914 grant to a $674,204 grant, but the purpose remains the same across recipients. The pattern is repeatable within the year, not episodic or project-specific, and the grants appear as direct support wage supplements rather than unrestricted general operating awards. Resource Connections Inc is a public charity, and the recent file shows no individual grants or program-related investments. The recipient set is local to Maryland, with all listed grants going to organizations in that state.

Concentrated operational grants focused on wage supplements: a small portfolio (25 grants) with a few large recipients taking a big share of dollars. Funding is targeted and recurring in sector (direct care/service providers) rather than spread across many issue areas; grants appear sized to shore up staff compensation and retention rather than capital or program pilots.
