How it works
A parent organization on Kannect Enterprise runs at the top of the hierarchy. Underneath it, independent sub-communities operate as their own communities. Each sub-community has its own data. The parent organization sees everything.
The parent organization
One dashboard for leadership: total members across every sub-community, cross-community events, campaigns, engagement, and financials. Roll-up reporting shows the health of the whole organization at a glance. Central oversight, central branding, central strategy.
The sub-communities
Each sub-community operates independently under the parent organization. Its own members, admins, events, memberships, campaigns, and content. Members join one sub-community and engage with that community, not the parent. Sub-communities cannot see each other.
The boundary
Data does not cross between sub-communities. A member of Sub A cannot see Sub B. A Sub A admin manages Sub A only. Only the parent organization has visibility across all sub-communities. Strict isolation by design.
Who runs multi-community architectures
Any parent organization with sub-entities that need their own community while sharing central oversight.
National nonprofits with chapters
A national nonprofit with regional chapters. Each chapter has its own donors, volunteers, events, and fundraising campaigns. National leadership sees roll-up donation totals, event engagement, and volunteer counts across every chapter. Chapters don't see each other's donor lists.
Multi-campus universities
A university system with multiple campuses. Each campus has its own alumni, students, events, and giving campaigns. The university sees system-wide alumni engagement and giving. Campus A alumni interact with Campus A, not Campus B.
Chamber of commerce networks
A regional chamber network with local chapters. Each chapter has its own members, sponsors, and events. The regional network sees total membership, sponsorship revenue, and event attendance across every chapter. Chapters compete without sharing member data.
Franchise organizations
A franchise brand with independently operated locations. Each location has its own customer community, events, and loyalty program. The franchise HQ sees roll-up engagement without touching individual location member data.
A full community, not a topic channel
Sub-communities on Kannect are true independent communities. Not spaces. Not channels. Not tabs in a shared dashboard.
Its own branded website
Every sub-community has a fully branded community website on its own domain. Sub A lives at suba.yourorg.com. Sub B lives at subb.yourorg.com. Each site shows its own events, memberships, campaigns, and content.
Its own mobile app profile
Members download the branded mobile app once, then follow the sub-community they belong to. Each sub-community has its own profile in the app with its own events, announcements, and members.
Its own full CRM
Each sub-community keeps its own member database. Profiles, contact details, group memberships, dues, custom fields, imports, exports. Sub A admins manage Sub A members. No cross-visibility.
Its own events + ticketing
Every sub-community runs its own events with RSVPs, free or paid tickets, reminders, recurring schedules, and check-in. Revenue flows to the sub-community's Stripe account or to the parent organization based on your setup.
Its own memberships + directories
Each sub-community has its own membership types with unlimited tiers and its own directories (staff, board, members, sponsors, alumni). Nav menus, listing pages, and signups are all sub-community-scoped.
Its own donations + campaigns
Every sub-community can run its own fundraising campaigns and accept donations. 0% Kannect fee for registered nonprofits on donations. Donations flow to the sub-community. The parent org sees the roll-up.
Leadership sees everything
While each sub-community operates independently, the parent organization has full visibility across the entire architecture.
Cross-community reporting
Total members, event attendance, membership revenue, donations, and engagement across every sub-community in one dashboard.
Growth tracking
See which sub-communities are growing, which are stagnating, and which need central attention. Roll-up trends across the whole organization.
Central provisioning
The parent organization can create new sub-communities, assign admins, set branding standards, and monitor rollout without touching sub-community member data.
Kannect vs. topic channels on other platforms
Some community platforms use "spaces" or "topics" language for what they call multi-community. That is not what Kannect means by sub-community.
Spaces on Circle, Bettermode, Slack
- Topic channels inside one community.
- All members can see all spaces.
- Shared member list across spaces.
- One admin dashboard, one brand, one website.
- No data boundary between spaces.
Sub-communities on Kannect Enterprise
- Independent communities under one parent.
- Members belong to one sub-community.
- Separate member databases per sub.
- Each sub has its own website + mobile app profile.
- Strict data boundary. Parent org sees everything.

Sub-communities, answered
What is a sub-community in Kannect?
A sub-community is an independent community that runs under a parent organization on Kannect Enterprise. Each has its own members, admins, branded website, mobile app profile, events, memberships, donations, and data. Sub-communities cannot see each other. The parent organization sees everything.
How is this different from spaces on Circle or Bettermode?
Circle and Bettermode use "spaces" to describe topic channels inside one community, where all members can see all spaces. Kannect sub-communities are truly independent: each has its own members, admins, and data. Members of one sub-community cannot see another sub-community. Only the parent organization has visibility across all sub-communities.
How many sub-communities are included?
Kannect Enterprise starts at $3,500/mo and includes 5 sub-communities. Additional sub-communities are available in packs of 5. Setup starts at $5,000.
Who runs multi-community architectures on Kannect?
National nonprofits with chapters, multi-campus universities, chamber of commerce networks with regional chapters, franchise organizations, and any parent organization with sub-entities that need their own community while sharing central oversight.
Does each sub-community get its own website and mobile app?
Yes. Every sub-community gets its own branded community website on its own domain and its own profile in the branded mobile app. Members join and engage with their specific sub-community.
Can sub-communities share resources with each other?
Only if the parent organization enables it. By default, sub-communities are isolated with strict data boundaries. The parent organization controls cross-community visibility, member movement, and shared resources.
Run every sub-community as its own community
