Consulting Offerings & Future Forward Network

FFI operates across two strategic horizons: a results-driven consulting practice specializing in program design, evaluation, and philanthropy strategy, and the Future Forward Network (FFN)—an emerging intermediary platform connecting health plans with community doulas at scale. Designed for growth and sustainability, FFN creates the infrastructure to streamline partnerships, improve care coordination, and unlock more efficient deployment of resources across the maternal health ecosystem.

Both are grounded in a distinct advantage, an insider understanding of how health systems, funders, and communities intersect, and how to move capital and resources in ways that drive measurable outcomes and long-term value.

Community Impact Strategy

Designing programs that don’t just exist, but deliver. FFI helps health plans and mission-driven organizations build community-centered strategies grounded in real-world experience. From concept to implementation, we align program design, community engagement, and funding priorities to ensure initiatives are built to perform.

Philanthropy Partnerships

Stronger partnerships. More strategic giving. FFI bridges the gap between funders and community-based organizations by bringing a funder’s lens to both sides. We help organizations position their work for investment and support the development of partnerships that extend beyond one-time funding into long-term alignment.

Program Evaluation & Impact Measurement

Move beyond outputs to outcomes that matter. FFI develops evidence-based evaluation frameworks that help organizations demonstrate impact, meet funder expectations, and make smarter decisions. Our approach centers what actually changes for communities—turning data into insight and insight into action.

Strategic Advisory & Capacity Building

Clarity, strategy, and execution. FFI provides tailored advisory support to health plans, nonprofits, and corporate partners navigating complex priorities, including community benefit design, SDOH initiatives, and broader impact strategies. We don’t just advise, we help clients move from ideas to implementation.

FUTURE FORWARD NETWORK

The Future Forward Network (FFN) : Coming Soon

The Future Forward Network is a scalable intermediary platform connecting health plans with community doulas—built to address systemic gaps in reimbursement, coordination, and access across the maternal care landscape.

The Three Problems FFN Solves

ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON DOULAS

Credentialing, invoicing, and reporting requirements create significant barriers, limiting doulas’ ability to access Medicaid reimbursement and sustain their practice.

LIMITED NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR HEALTH PLANS

Managed Care Organizations often lack the systems needed to efficiently identify, credential, and manage a network of individual doula providers at scale.

LOW MEMBER AWARENESS AND ACCESS

Many Medicaid members are unaware that doula services are covered or face challenges navigating how to access care.

WHAT FFN HANDLES

Centralized doula credentialing and network enrollment
Streamlined invoicing and reimbursement between health plans and doulas
Visit reporting and documentation support
Client-to-doula matching for Medicaid members

FFN is actively cultivating early health plan partnerships. If you are a Medicaid managed care organization interested in building a doula network, contact FFI to learn about partnership opportunities.
