What Mind, Music, And Movement Foundation For Neurological Disorders, Inc. does

Mind, Music, and Movement Foundation for Neurological Disorders, Inc. (M3F) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded after Beth Elgort's husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2014, and it received its 501(c)(3) status in February 2020 (Tax ID 84-3610224). Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the organization delivers a comprehensive suite of integrative programs — including chorus (Rhythms from the Heart), Dance for Fluidity, boxing, yoga, movement and balance, core strength, drumming, art, mindful meditation, brain games, nutritional counseling, and caregiver/peer support groups — designed for individuals living with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, and other neurodegenerative conditions. Programs are delivered both in-person (Tropical Sands Christian Church, Palm Beach Gardens; FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, Jupiter) and virtually, and are led by credentialed professionals including a Medical Director who is also the Director of Parkinson's and Movement Disorders at NYU Langone Health.

The business model combines a monthly subscription ($250/month unlimited membership, with caregivers and spouses included at no additional cost), single-visit class fees ($25), free support groups, tax-deductible donations, corporate sponsorships from pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations (Supernus, Acorda, TouchStone, Parkinson's Foundation), and merchandise sales through a third-party storefront. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer and community-led, driven by content marketing, social media, webinars, signature events (NeuroRhythms, Cookies 'N Creme Luncheon, Shake Rattle & Rock 'N' Roll), and physician referrals from local neurologists. The organization also maintains research and programming partnerships with FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, Scripps Research, Dance for PD, and the Parkinson's Foundation, which support both clinical credibility and a research pathway.

The organization operates with 1–10 employees, is governed by a board of trustees with Medical and Research Advisory Committees, and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed funding rounds. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; financial information would be available through Form 990 filings. Reported program outcomes include an 87% reduction in monthly falls with boxing therapy and improved mood metrics among singing-group participants.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA): National Parkinson's advocacy and support organization with regional Information & Referral (I&R) centers. Comparable in serving the Parkinson's community but with a broader geographic footprint and remit including research funding.
• Parkinson's Foundation: Large national Parkinson's organization funding research and providing community resources. M3F is listed on its Florida resource page; broadly overlapping in mission though at much greater scale and with a research-funding remit.
• Michael J. Fox Foundation: Largest non-profit funder of Parkinson's research worldwide. Indirectly comparable as a Parkinson's-focused organization shaping the national agenda, though its primary remit is research funding rather than direct patient programming.

Emerging players

• LSVT Global: Provider of clinically validated speech (LSVT LOUD) and physical/occupational (LSVT BIG) therapies for Parkinson's. Comparable in delivering evidence-based Parkinson's interventions, but focused on clinician training rather than direct community classes.
• MedRhythms: Music-based therapy company developing neurologic music therapy interventions. Listed as a partner of M3F and operates in the same intersection of music therapy and neurologic disease, but with a more tech-enabled commercial model.

Direct peers

• Dance for PD: Mark Morris Dance Group-affiliated program delivering dance classes for people with Parkinson's. M3F's Dance for Fluidity program licenses Dance for PD's curriculum, making it a direct peer in dance-based neuroprogramming.
• Davis Phinney Foundation: Non-profit focused on helping people with Parkinson's live well today through exercise, education and resources. Overlaps M3F on mission (movement/wellness for Parkinson's) and on community + educational programming.
• Rock Steady Boxing: National non-profit network offering non-contact boxing programs for people with Parkinson's disease. M3F's Boxing program is explicitly affiliated with Rock Steady Boxing, making it a direct operating peer in the same modality and population.
• Brian Grant Foundation: Foundation established by former NBA player Brian Grant focused on Parkinson's wellness, exercise and nutrition. Closely comparable to M3F in its integration of exercise, nutrition and community programming for Parkinson's patients.
• Giving Voice Chorus: Chorus organization for people with memory challenges (Alzheimer's/dementia). Already a partner supporting M3F's Rhythms from the Heart Chorus, and a direct peer in therapeutic singing for neurodegenerative populations.
