What connecting point of park cities does

Connecting Point of Park Cities (CPPC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded on June 24, 2014 that operates a community-based day program for adults aged 16 and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the Park Cities area of Dallas, Texas. The program, housed inside University Park United Methodist Church, serves individuals who have aged out of public school transition services at age 21 and delivers structured weekday programming from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with optional extended hours. Service modules include Activities of Daily Living, Healthy Living, Community Habilitation, Creative Arts, and Pre-vocational Skills, and in 2020 CPPC added a Vocational Training / Social Enterprise Initiative and an @CPPC online programming channel to extend its reach during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization maintains a maximum 1:5 staff-to-Teammate ratio and is led by an Executive Director, Program Manager (with a master's in Vocational Rehabilitation Psychology and 10+ years in IDD), a Business Manager, a Program Nurse, and multiple Program Assistants.

CPPC's revenue model blends participant fees with donations and grants. Approximately 25% of the operating budget comes from Teammate (participant) fees set at $35-$45 per day for the standard program, with $5 and $15 per day surcharges for morning and afternoon extended hours respectively, a $100 application fee (waivable for HHSC voucher recipients), and contract rates for individuals enrolled in Texas Health and Human Services Commission programs (HCS, TxHml, CLASS). The remaining ~75% of funding is sourced from donations and foundation grants, generated through recurring annual events such as the Hope Fest fundraiser (hosted by Harwood International and the Barbier-Mueller family), the Ability to Give Luncheon (historically featuring celebrity guests including Roger Staubach, Clayton Kershaw, and Michael Young), and beneficiary designations from community organizations such as Kappa Kappa Gamma and La Fiesta De Las Seis Banderas. The organization is governed by a 13+ member Board of Directors with professional backgrounds spanning PE due diligence, corporate finance law, commercial banking, and commercial real estate, and it operates exclusively as a single in-person site in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with no technology product or remote platform beyond the @CPPC online programming channel.
