Our Work
We work at the intersection of education, advocacy, and protection. Saving lives requires all three.
Educate
Moving Forward Foundation provides community and clinical education on fetal movement monitoring, stillbirth prevention, and perinatal and postnatal mental health. When parents are empowered with knowledge and providers are equipped to respond, the system works the way it should, and more families stay whole.
Advocate
We advance systems and legislative advocacy to support stillbirth prevention legislation, postpartum Medicaid coverage, and stillbirth tax credits for families. We also advocate for systems change within hospital and clinical settings - including requiring that fetal movement education be provided to expectant families and included in after-visit summaries. Families should not have to seek out information to protect their health.
Protect
Moving Forward Foundation will provide direct support for volunteers, doulas, and care providers. We will serve as an institutional funding conduit for doula support programs, ensuring that the people who protect families are protected with the resources they need to do that work.
