Democracy Forward — Founded Date: 2016
The source directly confirms that Democracy Forward was founded in 2016. The 'Our History' timeline explicitly labels 2016 as 'The Beginning' and describes the founding in the wake of the 2016 election. The additional context provided in the claim (publicly launched 2017) is also consistent with the source, which shows a separate 2017-2020 period labeled 'Building a Legal Powerhouse,' suggesting the organization was founded in 2016 but became more publicly active in 2017.

NoteThe source text clearly indicates that Democracy Forward was founded in 2017. The 'Our History' section shows that the organization was 'built' in 2016 (planning/founding phase) and then formally established its operations in 2017 with the section titled '2017–2020 Building a Legal Powerhouse.' This aligns with the claim that Democracy Forward's founded date is 2017.
