One Heart Mckinney

What One Heart Mckinney does

One Heart McKinney is a private nonprofit social services coordinator founded in 2020 in McKinney, Texas, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization operates as a "Chamber of Well-Being," serving individuals and families in crisis across McKinney and Collin County by providing a single point of intake through which trained navigators connect clients to food, housing, mental health, employment, healthcare, and emergency assistance resources. Its core products are Resource Navigation Services, the Collin County Connect online resource database (powered by Heart of the Matter Ministries and updated quarterly), the Community Resource List (launched May 2024), the CarePortal coordination platform, the C.L.I.M.B. after-school program as an incubator project, and a Car Donation Program operated in partnership with Grand Love. Technology is non-proprietary: a WordPress/Elementor website, online intake and donation forms, and external community-resource databases; there is no proprietary AI, ML, or matching algorithm described.

The organization's business model is donation- and membership-based, not revenue-generating in a commercial sense. Membership tiers range from $50 (Heart of the Community) to $2,083+ annually (Legacy Leaders), with intermediate Alliance Advocates ($208), Impact Partners ($500), and Community Champions ($833) tiers; the only disclosed external funding is a $45,000 grant from McKinney Alliance in January 2024. The go-to-market motion is community-led: the organization cultivates partnerships with nonprofits, faith congregations, the City of McKinney, McKinney ISD, McKinney Chamber of Commerce, healthcare providers, and corporate sponsors, and operates through a referral network with a stated goal of scaling from 27 partners to 100 by end of 2024. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors (Mark Turman as Board President, Megan Neubauer as Secretary, with Rick Wells and Bethany Russell as members), with Scott Elliott as Executive Director and Cheneda Samuel as Director of Navigation.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• 211 (United Way): Nationwide free helpline and searchable database connecting people to local social services. Overlaps directly with One Heart McKinney's navigator-mediated intake and resource-directory functions but at much larger scale and via phone/digital rather than a single-organization coordination hub.
• Points of Light: Large nonprofit focused on volunteer mobilization and civic engagement. Comparable in convening community resources and partnering with local organizations, but its primary deliverable is volunteer activation rather than crisis service navigation.

Direct peers

• Heart of the Matter Ministries: The external organization that powers One Heart McKinney's Collin County Connect database. Operates a comparable small-nonprofit, faith-rooted social services support model in the same Texas region and shares infrastructure rather than competing.
• Findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha): National social-services resource directory and closed-loop referral platform. Closest direct analog to One Heart McKinney's THE List / Collin County Connect resource database and navigator-referral model, but operating at national rather than single-county scale.

Emerging players

• Benefits Data Trust: Nonprofit that helps individuals apply for public benefits and social services through data-driven outreach and screening. Comparable in mission (reducing friction in accessing social services) but differentiated by a data/benefits-eligibility focus versus community coordination.
• Health Leads: Nonprofit that connects patients to community resources addressing social determinants of health. Comparable 'navigator-mediated resource access' model, but anchored in clinical/healthcare settings rather than community-wide intake.
• Modest Needs Foundation: Small nonprofit providing short-term financial assistance to low-income workers facing crisis. Comparable in serving individuals/families in crisis via referrals, but provides direct cash assistance rather than coordinating across a multi-service partner network.

Regional players

• United Way of Metropolitan Dallas: Regional United Way affiliate serving the broader Dallas-North Texas area including Collin County. Comparable funder-coordinator of social services across nonprofits, but operates at multi-county scale with a focus on fundraising/grantmaking rather than direct navigator intake.
