The Furthering Fathering Corporation

What The Furthering Fathering Corporation does

The Furthering Fathering Corporation is a private nonprofit organization founded on March 4, 2013, domiciled in New York and operating across New York and Georgia. It develops and distributes research-based fatherhood training curricula, community programs, and educational content aimed at equipping fathers, father figures, mentors, and community leaders for engaged parenting and family leadership. The organization's intellectual property centers on the proprietary H.E.A.R.T. methodology (Honor, Encouragement, Accountability, Reconciliation, Training), which underpins its flagship 8-session "Getting to the H.E.A.R.T. of Fathers" curriculum and the complementary 10-module "Dads Life Plan" curriculum, alongside authored books (The Mandate), workbooks, and assessment tools.

Its product portfolio spans curricula delivered as facilitator-led packages ($899-$1,299), digital downloads ($199-$299), and standalone workbooks or books ($15-$20), supplemented by free downloads (7 M's of Effective Fatherhood), a multi-platform podcast (Furthering Fathering Radio), and specialty programs including The Father's Heart Reentry Program for returning citizens, Literacy Legacy, Fostering Family Leaders, and church leadership training. The business model blends earned income from direct-to-consumer e-commerce on its own Wix-built website with charitable contributions via the Zeffy donation platform and in-kind clothing collections for reentry participants. Distribution is hybrid: digital downloads and USPS-shipped physical products nationally, plus in-person delivery through community events, barbershop engagements, church partnerships, prison ministry (over 200 men served), and government partnerships across multiple Georgia counties (Clayton, Cobb, Henry) and New York.

The organization is co-led by Lamont Jones and Jeremy A. Maynard (both CEO and Co-founder), with a 1-10 employee footprint, no disclosed revenue or external funding, and brand recognition anchored by its Feedspot Top 25 Fatherhood Podcast certification. Customer mix spans individual fathers, churches and faith-based organizations, returning citizens, schools, healthcare partners (sickle cell awareness), and government offices, with no enterprise revenue concentration.

Regional players

• Coalition of Father Centers / Fatherhood Engagement Programs (DOL grantees): Federally funded fatherhood program grantees operating regional fatherhood centers with curricula and case management. Comparable on model and federal-funding pathway though structurally different as government contractors.

Direct peers

• Fathers Incorporated: Nonprofit focused on responsible fatherhood in underserved communities, with strong barbershop and reentry programming. Direct peer given Furthering Father's Connect in the Barbershop and Father's Heart Reentry initiatives.
• National Fatherhood Initiative: Largest U.S. nonprofit focused exclusively on fatherhood education; sells research-based curricula (e.g., 24/7 Dad, Fathering in 15) to facilitators and organizations. Direct overlap with Furthering Fathering's curriculum-licensing model and target buyer (community organizations, churches, reentry programs).
• Healthy Fathers Healthy Families (Father Involvement Project): Fatherhood research and program organization with evidence-based curricula deployed via community partners. Overlaps with Furthering Father's research-based curriculum positioning.
• National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC): Federal-government-supported hub aggregating fatherhood program resources, curricula, and best practices for grantees and practitioners. Directly comparable as a clearinghouse/curriculum resource competing for the same institutional training-program buyers.
• National Fatherhood Scholars Association (formerly NYSFR): Network of fatherhood practitioners and researchers; comparable as a peer in the fatherhood training and program community.

Emerging players

• City Fathers: Faith-rooted fatherhood engagement nonprofit operating in urban communities with mentorship and brotherhood models similar to Furthering Father's Men of Henry County and barbershop work.
• Boot Campaign: Nonprofit supporting military families and veteran reentry with fatherhood-adjacent programming; overlaps on the reentry/community-engagement axis relevant to Furthering Father's Father's Heart program.
