Unlocking the Hidden Support Every Parent Deserves

Written on June 25, 2025

If you’re expecting a baby—or already parenting a little one—you’ve probably realized something: raising a child is expensive, and finding real support isn’t easy.

At Dopple, we know the feeling. We’ve spoken with thousands of parents who are doing everything they can to care for their families, often without knowing that help is out there.

This is why we’re evolving Dopple into something more powerful: a platform to help you uncover and unlock the support you already deserve.

You’re Likely Leaving Money on the Table

Each year, billions of dollars in government and philanthropic funding goes unused. Why? Because most families either:

• Don’t know these resources exist
  
• Don’t have the time or guidance to apply
  
• Hit roadblocks trying to navigate the system.

Here are a few of the programs many parents are eligible for but often miss:

• Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) – helps with the cost of child care‍
• TANF – Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (cash support and work programs)
• WIC and SNAP – nutrition assistance for parents and kids
• ‍EITC – a major tax credit for working families‍
• Head Start / Early Head Start – early childhood education, meals, and support services
  

These aren’t one-time perks. They can make a real difference—especially during the first years of your child’s life.

What Dopple Does for You

Each year, billions of dollars in government and philanthropic funding goes unused. Why? Because most families either:

Dopple is no longer just about kids' clothes. We’re now a financial support platform designed specifically for families. Here’s how we help:

1. Build Your Baby Budget - We help you estimate your actual costs—from diapers to child care to postpartum support.
2. Match with Aid and Grant - Our platform checks your eligibility for local, state, and federal programs—and philanthropic grants too.
3. Create a Needs-Based Registry - Instead of another baby bottle warmer, invite friends, family, and even employers to fund real needs like child care, lactation support, or a weekly meal delivery.
4. Get Help Without the Hassle - No paperwork chaos. No awkward asks. Just a simple link to your evolving needs list that makes supporting your family feel empowering—for both you and your community.

Real Families, Real Results

We’ve already helped over 15,000 families through our early programs. In our latest pilot, families gained access to postpartum support and Medicaid-backed services they didn’t even know they qualified for.

One family used Dopple to secure doula care and child care assistance that saved them over $7,000. Another received contributions from five family members to cover two months of diapers and formula.

Why Now?

You shouldn’t have to fight to get the support that already exists for you.

With inflation up, child care costs rising, and time stretched thin, there’s never been a better time to tap into what’s available. Whether you’re a new parent or planning ahead, Dopple is here to help you:

• Reduce financial stress
  
• Feel supported in the ways that matter
• Make your network (and your government) work for you.
