Mission

MAXimum Chances is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 by Nicole and Greg Chalmers in Colleyville, Texas. Named after their son Max, who was diagnosed with autism at 22 months, the organization connects families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to educational services, evidence-based therapies, and cutting-edge biomedical treatments — and funds access for families who cannot afford them. Since our founding, we have raised more than $1.4 million and funded therapies for 71 children across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, returning approximately 90 cents of every dollar raised directly to children in our program. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children with autism and their families by ensuring that every child, regardless of financial means, has every chance possible to thrive.
