Overview

Mission

To provide education, healthcare, fitness, research, support and community under one roof to those living with neuromuscular and autoimmune conditions that threaten independence.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 the neurobalance center offered services which included fitness, wellness, adaptive group fitness classes, educational events and social opportunities. We had one wheelchair accessible van to provide transportation to clients in need. All services are performed by our highly trained team in a state of the art ada friendly facility. Most of our clients have progressive or degenerative diseases and neuromuscular conditions such as parkinson's disease, guillain-barre, als, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury, or simply have a mobility impairment. Our objective is to provide a central location for our clients to receive the services they need to promote healthy living and longevity while living with their conditions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
