Replace six to ten tools with one operating system
Most organizations run their community across an event tool, an email platform, a website, a group chat, a member spreadsheet, a CRM, a membership manager, a fundraising tool, and a payment system. Kannect replaces the whole stack.
Events
Free or paid events with RSVPs, tickets, reminders, and check-in. Automatic calendar invites, mobile door check-in, and attendance written straight back to the member record so you know who actually showed up, not just who bought a ticket.
Communication
Announcements, direct messages, group threads, and emergency alerts that reach every opted-in member. Push through the mobile app, email on your own sending domain, and in-app announcements deliver together with the Reach Promise: 100% of your list, every time.
Resources & content
Publish blogs, articles, guides, videos, and documents in one place members can always reach. Everything you post appears on your community website, on your organization's mobile profile, and in the Kannect app for logged-in members. No page builder to maintain.
Discovery
Get found three ways: through the Kannect mobile app, on Kannect Discover (the verified community network), and through your SEO-optimized community website. Every event, program, and public campaign is discoverable in all three places from a single post.
Member CRM
People database with statuses for member, alumni, donor, staff, parent, and student. Members maintain their own profile from the app, so your list stays current without staff chasing updates.
Memberships
One membership type with multiple pricing tiers on every plan, or multiple membership types each with their own tiers on higher plans. Custom application forms, approval flows, and welcome onboarding.
Groups & programs
Chapters, committees, cohorts, and programs. Each one with its own conversation, members, and analytics.
Directory
Run one directory with unlimited listings on every plan. Move up to multiple directories (members, sponsors, alumni, partners, team) side by side on higher plans. Custom fields, feature toggles, and a dedicated page per directory.
Member app
The Kannect mobile app on iOS and Android. Free for members, and one login covers every organization they belong to. Unlocks push notifications, direct messaging, ticket wallets, mobile check-in, and task assignments without any app-store gymnastics on your side.
Campaigns & fundraising
Campaigns, donations, sustainer giving, manual gifts. 0% Kannect fee on registered-nonprofit donations.
Task Tracker
Assign tasks to members or admins. Accept-reject, notes, completion tracking, all in one thread.
Analytics
Profile views, likes, resource clicks, event attendance, goal progress.

Kannect is a single community engagement platform, but each capability has its own dedicated page with screenshots, workflows, and specifics you can send to your team when you are making the case internally.
Free or paid events, tickets, and check-in
Run RSVP events, ticketed events, and recurring programs from the same builder. Automatic email and push reminders, calendar invites, mobile check-in, and attendance that writes to the member record. See the full spec on the Kannect Events page.
Announcements, DMs, and triggered email
The Reach Promise, in practice: unlimited announcements that reach every opted-in member, direct and group messages, plus triggered emails for events, campaigns, resources, receipts, and welcome flows. Full detail on the Kannect Messaging page.
The members-side of the platform
Push notifications, direct messages, ticket wallet, mobile check-in, task assignments, and resource library, all in the Kannect app on iOS and Android. Free for members. Full breakdown on the Kannect mobile app page.
One record per person, kept current by the member
People database with statuses for member, alumni, donor, staff, parent, student, and volunteer. Members maintain their own profile from the app, so your list does not go stale between annual renewals. Detail on the Kannect CRM page.
Tiered pricing, applications, and welcome flow
One membership type with multiple pricing tiers on every plan, or multiple membership types on higher plans. Custom application forms, manual or auto-approval, and a welcome flow that drops new members straight into the conversation. See the Kannect Memberships page.

One connected system, not six point tools
The reason Kannect works is that nothing is bolted on. Every part draws on the same foundation.
One member list
Every event, message, and group draws on the same member record. Nothing is re-entered or re-uploaded.
One dashboard, four surfaces
Post once from your Kannect dashboard and it flows to your community website, your organization's mobile profile, every member's personalized feed, and Kannect Discover. Run events, memberships, communications, and campaigns from one home for your team.
One member app
Members get everything from your organization in the Kannect mobile app, on iOS and Android.
The settings and admin layer most platforms forget
The connective tissue. Built so the people who run your community spend less time on plumbing and more time on the work that matters.
Stripe payouts
Connect your bank once. Get paid directly for events, memberships, programs, and donations. Settlement in three business days. Kannect never holds your money.
A website that builds itself
Post from your Kannect dashboard once and it flows to four surfaces automatically: your community website, your organization's mobile profile, every current member's personalized feed in the Kannect app, and Kannect Discover on web and mobile where prospective members find you. No page building, no drag-and-drop, no launch project. Use your own domain and sending email, or start on web.kannect.co/yourorg with yourorg@mail.kannect.co. Members always see your brand.
Admins and roles
Add the people who run your community alongside you. Plans include 3 to 10 admin seats. One super admin owns the account and can transfer ownership when leadership changes.
Goals that show up where you work
Set a monthly new-member target and a donation goal. Both live on your dashboard alongside today's actual numbers, so progress is the first thing you see.
Language and region
Set your currency, time zone, and date format once. Every event, ticket, donation, and receipt shows up in the right format for the audience you serve.
Help when you need it
A guided dashboard tour for the first day. A learning hub of videos for the first week. A searchable FAQ center for everything after. And a real human on the Community Success Team when you need one.
What used to take six to ten tools, runs on one operating system
Communities have been stitching together a stack to do what one platform should: an event tool, an email service, a website builder, a chat app, a spreadsheet, and a payment processor. Kannect replaces the whole thing.

Free and paid events with a 2% platform fee, not 10–14%.

A full event-driven website included on every plan.
Kannect Members & Groups

Kannect Insights
See who shows up and who is drifting, by group and event.
A week on the community engagement platform, by role
The same Kannect account looks different depending on who is logged in. Here is how the four most common community-side roles use it in a normal week, and where each one saves the hour or two they used to lose to spreadsheets and copy-paste.
Sees the number that matters, not the number of tools
Opens the Kannect dashboard on Monday morning and sees new members this month, revenue and donations to date, and next week's events in one view. Uses Kannect Messaging to send the monthly update straight from that screen, then jumps into the member CRM to check a specific donor before a call. No login sprawl, no waiting on a report from the operations lead.
Builds an event once and lets Kannect distribute it
Creates an event in Kannect Events with an RSVP or a ticket, sets the reminders and the check-in flow, and hits publish. The event lands on the community website, every member's Kannect mobile app, Kannect Discover, and (if configured) an announcement email at the same time. Runs door check-in on a phone at the event, and attendance writes back to the member record without a follow-up spreadsheet.
Writes one announcement, reaches everyone opted in
Drafts an announcement, chooses which group or membership tier receives it, and schedules it. Push notification, email, and the in-app announcement all deliver together with 100% reach to opted-in members. Uses triggered emails for welcomes, ticket receipts, and campaign updates, and adjusts the copy from one screen instead of maintaining three tools' template libraries.
One record for every donor, member, and volunteer
Runs applications and dues through Kannect Memberships, launches a fundraising campaign, and reviews donor history from the same member CRM screen. Every gift, RSVP, and message is on the same record, so board reports, tax notices, and renewal reminders come out of one system instead of three.
The organizations already running on Kannect
Every feature above is in use today by nonprofits, chambers, schools, and civic groups. New organizations join every week.
Built on four principles no one else commits to
Kannect is not a feed. It is not a listing. It is not a ticketing tool. It is the operating system communities run on — built on four principles every other platform refuses to make.
Independence
Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and founder-run. It answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer's returns.
Verification
Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial. That card stops bots and fake organizations before they reach the network. No spam, no scams, no fake listings. When a member finds your community, they know it is real.
Reach
Every message reaches every opted-in member. No algorithm decides who hears you, no ad budget controls who sees you, no feed buries you. The Reach Promise is not a feature — it is the contract.
Ownership
Your community. Your members. Your data. Yours to keep. Request a copy anytime and we deliver within 30 days. Never sold. Never rented back to you as ads. Kannect runs the operating system; what runs on it belongs to you.
Built for the organizations that bring people together
Kannect is the operating system for the people doing real work in real communities — not influencers, not creators chasing a feed.
Nonprofits
0% Kannect fee on donations. Every dollar to the cause.
Chambers
Member directory, events, dues, and engagement in one place.
K–12 & PTAs
Reach every family. Replace newsletters, sign-ups, and fee collection.
Universities
Alumni, students, clubs, and giving on one verified platform.
Local government
Citizen engagement, public events, and announcements that reach residents.
Public safety
Trusted communication to neighborhoods, schools, and partners.
Faith communities
Services, small groups, giving, and care in one verified home.
Membership orgs
Associations, clubs, and member groups — dues, events, and engagement together.
Questions about the platform
Is Kannect one product, or a bundle of tools?
One platform. Events, communication, members, groups, content, payments, and discovery all share the same member record, dashboard, and member app. Nothing is bolted on.
How long does it take to launch a community on Kannect?
Most organizations are up in under five minutes. Add your community, invite your team, import or invite members, and start running events the same day.
Do members need a separate account for each organization?
No. Members use one Kannect account across every organization they belong to. The Kannect mobile app on iOS and Android brings everything together.
What does Kannect charge for paid events and donations?
A 2% Kannect platform fee on paid events, programs, and memberships, and 0% Kannect fee on nonprofit donations. Standard Stripe processing fees apply on top.
Will every announcement actually reach our members?
Yes. Every opted-in member receives every announcement. No algorithm decides who hears you. We call this the Reach Promise — it is a contract, not a feature.
Can we move our community off Kannect later?
Yes. Your members, events, and content are yours. Request a full export by email and we deliver within 30 days. Kannect runs the operating system; what runs on it belongs to you.
Do our members need their own email, or can we invite them by phone?
A working email is what makes Kannect the reliable community engagement platform it is: it powers ticket receipts, RSVPs, password resets, and the delivery half of the Reach Promise. You can invite members by CSV, single email, or a public join link, and the mobile app is available to every member on iOS and Android.
Which features are included on every plan, and which unlock as we grow?
Every plan includes events, messaging, the mobile app, a member CRM, a directory, memberships with tiered pricing, fundraising, a community website, and Kannect Discover. Higher plans add more people, more email volume, more admin seats, more directories, more membership types, and a lower platform fee: 2% on Starter and Launch, 1.5% on Growth, 1% on Scale, 0.5% on Enterprise.
How does Kannect handle multiple chapters or sub-communities?
Groups on the standard plans handle chapters, committees, and programs inside a single community. If you run a national organization with distinct member lists, budgets, and admins per chapter, our Enterprise plan adds sub-communities (5 included, add packs of 5) so each region operates independently under one parent brand.
What does the Kannect mobile app do for members?
It is the members-side of the platform. Push notifications, direct messages, event RSVPs, ticket wallets, mobile check-in, task assignments, resource library, and the member directory all live inside the free Kannect app on iOS and Android. One login, every organization a member belongs to.
Does Kannect integrate with tools we already use?
Kannect connects to Stripe for payouts, Google and Apple calendars for events, iOS and Android for push, and standard email providers for sending on your own domain. Because Kannect replaces the underlying stack (events, email, CRM, memberships, fundraising, website), most organizations retire the tools they used to integrate rather than plug them in.
