Why New Jersey?

When the State of New Jersey showed interest in Dopple’s financial support innovations, it was clear we had a unique opportunity. I made the huge decision to relocate from Big Sky, MT to Hoboken, NJ. New Jersey is not only a vibrant state for families—it’s an ideal launching pad for piloting programs that simplify financial support for parents.

Our mission is to connect families with the help they truly need, whether it’s through registries for essentials, government programs, or streamlined community support.

This approach reflects the call from experts for equity-focused, population-based parenting interventions that directly engage parents and communities in tailoring solutions, as underlined by recent public health research.

$500K From the State, On Top of Wefunder

Earlier this month, we received a commitment letter from the State of NJ for $500,000 in funding. We expect to close this in late June or early July. This is in addition to what we’re raising on Wefunder.

For us, this is about more than just capital—it’s about unlocking strategic access: connecting with NJ’s unique resources for families, advancing state partnerships, and building tech that helps every parent find and afford the support they deserve.

Early Pilot Traction & Next Steps

• In parallel, we’re in late-stage conversations to access federal funding—broadening our reach and ability to serve more families.
• Our platform pilots are already matching parents to the right grants, resources, and financial contributions—covering everything from diapers and baby gear to doula and mental health services.
• By advancing practical, evidence-informed digital solutions that exceed the barriers of piecemeal funding and lack of access, Dopple seeks to create a sustainable, long-term positive impact for diverse families.
• What’s next? Stay tuned for announcements as we close on NJ funding and finalize new partnerships supporting families nationwide.

Experts have also highlighted the importance of open-access, flexible, and technology-integrated support to ensure all families, including those with children who have medical complexity, receive coordinated, family-centered care.

How Dopple Empowers Modern Families with Needs-Based Support

• Needs-based registries: Parents can create highly customized wish lists (including non-traditional needs like childcare, doula, or mental health services) for friends and family to support directly. Engaging parents in designing these supports is critical for equitable outcomes.
• Flexible fund options: Diaper funds, group gifting, and cash contributions for essentials—supporters can give what is truly needed, not just toys.
• Accessible aid: Dopple connects parents with tools to estimate costs (like baby budget calculators), manage applications for WIC/SNAP/childcare, and even discover local affordable luxury baby products and clothing subscriptions.
• Employer and donor networks: Our platform taps workplace giving and donor-advised funding to unlock even more relief for new and expecting parents. Policies that foster coordinated community and workplace support have proven particularly effective for medically complex and underserved families.
• Community-focused platform: Dopple's tech and local partners help connect families not just to funding, but to peer support, one-on-one resource navigation, and local trust networks—essential factors that research shows are key for underserved populations.
