Hero background

Less Duplication. More Time With the People You Serve.

POP LABS builds county-based civic infrastructure hubs that function as community innovation spaces, where residents, nonprofits, schools, healthcare partners, faith communities, employers, and government agencies collaborate through shared space, coordinated navigation, and a standardized data ecosystem to cultivate dignity, restore trust, and strengthen outcomes across New Jersey.

Hubs are placed in county-identified priority communities — where your clients already live, whether visibly high-need or quietly hurting.

Your Reality

Nonprofits face challenges that drain time, energy, and resources from your mission.

Duplicated forms and reporting

Families tell their story over and over. You fill out the same information across multiple systems.

Inconsistent referrals

You make referrals but rarely know what happens next. Clients fall through the cracks between organizations.

Burnout from fragmented systems

Your team spends more time navigating broken coordination than actually serving people.

The emotional burden of crises

You witness the same families cycling through crisis without the infrastructure to break the pattern.

Lack of shared space

Coordination happens over email and phone calls instead of side-by-side collaboration.

Competition for resources

Funders pit you against each other instead of investing in the infrastructure that helps everyone succeed.

POP LABS exists to take this weight off your shoulders.

What Changes for You

Shared Space, Shared Story

Work from a centralized hub where partners are down the hall — not across town. Collaboration becomes natural instead of forced.

Shared Intake & Navigation

One story. One form. One coordinated system. Warm handoffs replace cold referrals. Real-time visibility shows where your clients go next.

Shared Data & Visibility

You finally see where your clients go next — and how your work contributes to outcomes. No more black holes after referral.

Shared Governance

You help shape the direction of the hub and the Trust Index. Your voice matters in how coordination works.

Placement Where It Matters

Hubs are built in communities where nonprofits often struggle alone: both in visibly underserved areas and in towns with rising but invisible need.
