Madison House Autism Foundation

What Madison House Autism Foundation does

Madison House Autism Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 611 Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland, with an additional operational site at Madison Fields in Dickerson, MD. Founded in 2013 (per company history records), the foundation's mission is to promote, model, and advocate for the full inclusion of adults with autism and their families, expanding choice and opportunity in housing, employment, and social participation. The organization directly addresses the "services cliff" that autistic individuals face at age 21 when school-based accommodations end, operating against the backdrop that 85% of autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed and will spend roughly 70% of their lives as adults. Its programmatic portfolio spans seven core programs: Autism Housing (including the Autism Housing Network database), Madison Fields (a neuro-inclusive agricultural and equine center), the Autism After 21 Utah Project, Arts for Autism, Med Connect (healthcare provider education), University Connect (higher education outreach), and the Imagine21 mini-documentary series. The foundation also runs awareness campaigns (Autism After 21 Day on April 21st, the annual Did You Know campaign) and convenes the annual Autism After 21 Breakfast at Congressional Country Club. It was established by JaLynn Prince (President and Co-Founder) and Dr. Gregory Prince.

The foundation has no proprietary technology platform; its primary digital assets are its website (madisonhouseautism.org), the Autism Housing Network online database, and social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter). Distribution is event-driven and community-led: virtual and in-person events, regional working groups (Utah), self-advocate storytelling, university partnerships, and corporate co-hosting of programs like Wings for Autism at Reagan National Airport with American Airlines, MWAA, and TSA. Business model is a nonprofit funding mix of individual donations, event sponsorships and tickets, merchandise sales (via Bonfire), and grants from funders including the Disability Opportunity Fund. Sponsorship tiers for the Autism After 21 Breakfast range from Friend ($210) to Cornerstone ($50,000), with individual seats at $210, tables of 10 at $5,000, and virtual attendance at $25; all core services are offered at no cost to beneficiaries. Strategic partnerships include American Airlines (corporate volunteer partner), the Disability Opportunity Fund (CDFI grant funder for AHN), The Arc chapters (Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Northern), MWAA, and TSA, alongside multiple higher education institutions. Key recognition includes Autism After 21 Day's entry into the U.S. Congressional Record in 2017 and three-time Maryland's Top 100 Women honors for founder JaLynn Prince.

Direct peers

• The Arc of the United States: National organization advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with deep housing and community-living programs. The Arc's chapter network (including Montgomery County and Prince George's County, which already co-host MHAF events) is the closest direct peer in adult disability services.
• Asperger/Autism Network (AANE): Regional (Northeast US) nonprofit providing adult support, community programs, and family services for autistic individuals. Most directly comparable peer in mission and lifespan focus, though more regionally concentrated.

Regional players

• JARC (Jewish Association for Residential Care): Regional (Michigan) nonprofit operating residential and community-living programs for adults with developmental disabilities. Comparable on adult housing and residential services model; differs in regional concentration and faith-affiliated roots.
• AHRC New York City: Large New York-based nonprofit providing housing, employment, and clinical services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Comparable adult-services portfolio and donor/event fundraising mix, but with much larger scale and single-region footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Autism Speaks: One of the largest autism advocacy and research organizations in the US. Comparable in mission (autism advocacy) and donor-funded nonprofit model, but with a much broader mandate that includes research and pediatric services; MHAF differentiates on an exclusive adult-services focus.
• Autism Society of America: National grassroots autism advocacy organization with affiliate chapters and a broad service portfolio. Comparable as a peer-led advocacy nonprofit, though its scope spans the full lifespan; MHAF's post-21 specialization is the point of differentiation.
• Organization for Autism Research (OAR): Autism-focused nonprofit that funds applied research and runs adult-transition programs. Overlaps with MHAF on adult life-stage resources and applied research, though OAR's center of gravity is research rather than direct services.
• Easterseals: Large national disability services nonprofit operating employment, housing, and community-living programs. Comparable in adult disability services and donor-funded model; substantially larger scale and broader condition coverage than MHAF.
• National Autism Association: National autism advocacy nonprofit focused on safety, acceptance, and support across the lifespan. Overlaps with MHAF on advocacy and family education, with comparable donor-funded, awareness-driven GTM.

Emerging players

• Autism Research Institute: Autism-focused nonprofit historically centered on research and now expanding into adult services and support. Less direct overlap with MHAF on housing/employment advocacy, but increasingly active in the adult-services space MHAF targets.
