What Above All Things Dream Foundation does

Above All Things Dream Foundation (AATDF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 by Gregory Airington Jr. and Tia Airington and headquartered in Anna, Texas. It serves resource-challenged children, individuals, and families in the North Texas region, primarily Collin and Grayson counties, through a portfolio of community programs organized under its F.A.M.E. framework (Fitness, Arts, Mentorship, Education). Its mission, branded "Wellness-on-the-Move," combines sports and fitness (Action Over Excuses basketball camps and fitness training for ages 7+), nutrition and wellness (Matters of the Heart food program), and character and education (Decision Fit Tutoring, Coaching, Mentoring, and Leader programs) into a holistic offering delivered both in-person and via virtual classes.

The foundation operates as an event-driven, community-anchored service organization with no proprietary technology platform; programs are delivered free to participants and supported by volunteer labor (5,430 volunteer hours served in 2024) and in-kind and cash contributions. Distribution relies on recurring monthly Moo-ving the Love giveaway events rotating across McKinney, Anna, and Sherman, plus annual signature events (Electric Slide Thanksgiving, Christmas Toy Drive, Back to School Drives, Winter Golf Classic) and partner-hosted activities with school districts (Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, Sherman ISD), churches (Converge, Life Fellowship, Amazing), and community organizations (Baby Booties Diaper Bank, Midwest Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, First United Bank). 2024 impact metrics included 1,200+ people served monthly, 225,000 pounds of food distributed, and a reported 95% skill-mastery rate in the Decision Fit Tutoring program.

The business model is donation- and sponsorship-driven. Revenue comes from individual donors, four-tier corporate sponsorships (Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Above All Champion) processed via Givebutter and Donor-Advised Funds, and named corporate sponsors including State Farm, Walmart, WebCPA Virtual Tax Clinic, and Preston Trail Community Church. No financial figures are publicly disclosed. With 1-10 employees and a volunteer-dependent delivery model, AATDF is a small community nonprofit whose growth is paced by fundraising capacity and partner network depth rather than by technology investment or commercial scaling.

Broad incumbents

• United Way Worldwide: Federated community-impact nonprofit that funds and convenes local partners across education, income, and health. Comparable to AATDF because it raises corporate and individual donations in the same North Texas geography and channels funds to youth, family, and food-insecurity programs.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: Federated youth development nonprofit providing after-school programming that spans academics, sports, and character. Comparable to AATDF because it bundles educational support, athletics, and life-skills mentoring for resource-challenged youth under a single organizational umbrella.
• Feeding America: National hunger-relief nonprofit coordinating food distribution through a network of food banks and partner pantries. Comparable to AATDF for its food distribution channel (225,000+ lbs annually) and partnership with Midwest Food Bank, though at vastly larger national scale.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: National youth mentoring nonprofit pairing adult mentors with children. Comparable to AATDF because mentoring and character development for at-risk youth is its core mission, though it operates at vastly larger national scale rather than at a single-region focus.
• Salvation Army USA: National faith-based nonprofit providing food, holiday gifts, and youth programs through local corps. Comparable to AATDF for the toy drives, food pantry, and Meals-on-Wheels-adjacent holiday giving work, though operating at much larger national scale with religious affiliation.
• National 4-H Council: Youth development organization combining education, leadership, and community-service programming for school-age youth. Comparable to AATDF because it operates Decision Fit-style leadership and life-skills curricula and integrates sports/STEM/community service under one youth-development umbrella.
• YMCA of the USA: National community nonprofit offering youth sports, fitness, after-school, and family programming. Comparable to AATDF because both combine youth athletics, family wellness, and educational enrichment for underserved populations, though YMCA operates through a federated local-branch model.

Direct peers

• Police Athletic League (PAL): Youth development nonprofit using athletics and mentorship to steer kids away from risky behavior. Comparable to AATDF because both use sports leagues/camps combined with coaching and mentorship to deliver character and education outcomes for the same age group.
• Baby Booties Diaper Bank: North Texas diaper and baby-essentials nonprofit that co-hosts AATDF's monthly Moo-ving the Love events. A direct operational peer and co-host partner delivering complementary basic-needs distributions to the same families in Collin and Grayson counties.
• Communities In Schools: School-based nonprofit that places site coordinators inside schools to connect students to tutoring, mentoring, and basic-needs support. Comparable to AATDF because it delivers Decision-Fit-style tutoring and family support inside school settings like AATDF's Elliott Elementary partnership.
