Partnering with Mission-Driven Organizations to Build Funded, Compliant, and Sustainable Community Impact.
SECURE FUNDING
Federal and foundation grant strategy, prospect research, and proposal development — from NOFO to award.
MANAGE COMPLIANCE
2 CFR 200 compliance systems, subrecipient monitoring frameworks, SOPs, and audit-ready documentation.
BUILD PROGRAMS
Evidence-based program design, logic models, evaluation frameworks, and outcome reporting that funders trust.
WHO WE SERVE
We partner with:
-
Nonprofits and community-based organizations navigating federal and foundation funding for the first time or scaling existing grant portfolios
-
Public health agencies managing federally funded programs, cooperative agreements, and multi-partner compliance obligations
-
Tribal health programs, refugee resettlement agencies, and organizations serving populations affected by SDOH, homelessness, migration, and displacement
-
International NGOs and global health partners seeking U.S. government funding alignment and organizational readiness

Our Approach
Public health demands more than good intentions — it requires disciplined methodology, systems thinking, and deep sector knowledge. Legacy Forward Advisors brings firsthand experience from inside the federal system — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Department of Education, and U.S. Department of Justice — to the organizations doing the work on the ground.
​
We don't just advise. We build:
-
The compliance systems that protect your funding
-
The program infrastructure that delivers your outcomes
-
The documentation that survives any audit
-
The strategy that positions you for the next opportunity
