My Possibilities

What My Possibilities does

My Possibilities is a Plano, Texas-based nonprofit founded in 2008 that operates the first full-day, year-long continuing education and job placement program in North Texas for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The organization serves program participants it calls 'HIPsters' (Hugely Important People) through a proprietary Five Pillars of Education curriculum developed with special education experts: My Place in the World (social skills/communication), Aspiring for Independence, Vocabilities (employment readiness), Sound Mind Sound Body (health and wellness), and Inspire Something to Be (creative arts). It runs two physical campuses in Plano (headquarters at 3601 Mapleshade Lane) and Irving, delivering core programs including Academics, Employment Innovations School, MP in Motion athletics (including the North TX Unified Soccer League), Therapy Services, a Residential Program, and MP Online Learning.

The organization is funded entirely through philanthropic channels and does not charge tuition or fees to HIPsters. Revenue streams include individual donations, corporate sponsorships through a formal Corporate Engagement Council (with JPMorgan Chase as flagship sponsor and Bank of America, Capital One, HEB, Bread Financial, BCBS Texas, Aimbridge, RNDC, Frost Bank, and MUFG as core partners), special events (HIPster Golf Classic, Community Ball, Clay Shoot Classic, HIPster Showcase, North Texas Giving Day, Piece-a-Thon radio auction), capital campaign contributions for the Campus for Higher Learning (described as the first college campus in Texas for adults with cognitive disabilities), earned-income from ADA-compliant event space rental, and grants from entities such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and Health Care Service Corporation.

The nonprofit operates with 101–250 employees under a typical nonprofit governance structure (Board of Directors, MP Foundation Board of Directors, Corporate Engagement Council, executive team including a Chief Operating Officer, Chief Program Officer, and Chief People Officer). It has earned the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency (2024) and is a DCEO Finalist (2026). Headquartered at 3601 Mapleshade Lane, Plano, TX, with a secondary campus in Irving, My Possibilities operates exclusively in the DFW/North Texas region and delivers no technological platform product — its core offering is a human-expert-led educational and vocational service rather than a technology solution.
