A private home for your support group.
People join a support group to be understood, not to be seen. Kannect gives your group one place for meetings, messages, resources, and members, with no ads, no algorithm, and no social feed attached to anyone's real name.
7-day free trial. A card is required, which keeps Kannect spam-free. Cancel anytime.
What Kannect commits to your members
0
Ads. Nothing your members read is monetized, and nothing they discuss is used for targeting.
100%
Reach. A meeting change reaches every member who opted in, not the fraction a feed decides to show.
0%
On donations. Nonprofit donations are processed at 0% platform fee, plus standard Stripe fees.
5 min
To launch. Set up your group, add your meeting schedule, and invite members the same day.
One platform instead of four
Most groups run on a Facebook group for discussion, an email tool for the meeting reminder, a website nobody updates, and a spreadsheet holding names that should never sit in a spreadsheet. Kannect retires all of it.
Group discussion
A space for your members, not a feed tied to their real name and friends list.
Meeting reminders
Push notifications and email that reach every member, not just the openers.
Group website
A branded site with your meetings and resources, included.
Member records
One connected member record your organization owns and controls.
The people who need you most are the least likely to join publicly
Grief, recovery, illness, caregiving, loss. These are the groups where showing up matters most and where being seen showing up costs the most. Running them on a social network asks members to choose between support and exposure.
Joining means being seen
On a social network, membership is attached to a real name, a photo, and a friends list. That is a barrier to the people who need the group most.
A missed message is a missed meeting
When a room changes or a session is cancelled, a post that reaches a fraction of members is not good enough. Someone sits in an empty room.
Sensitive records in a spreadsheet
Names, contact details, and attendance for a group like yours should not live in a shared file with an unclear list of who can open it.
Everything a support group needs, and nothing it doesn't
One platform for meetings, member communication, resources, and the quiet administration that keeps a group running.
Meetings and sessions
Recurring meetings, RSVPs, reminders, and check-in. Members always know where and when, without asking.
Messages that arrive
Announcements reach every member who opted in through push notification and email. No algorithm decides who is worth reaching.
Resources and reading
Workbooks, reading lists, care package information, and referral guides in one place members can find at 2am.
Groups within your group
Run a newcomers group, an evening group, and a partners group under one organization, each with its own members and facilitator.
Donations at 0%
Nonprofit donations are processed at 0% platform fee. Fund care packages and facilitator training without losing a cut to the tool.
Records you own
One member record for contact details, attendance, and notes. Your organization owns the data and controls who can see it.
Three steps to a group people feel safe joining
Set up your group
Start a 7-day free trial and build your group's home in under five minutes. Add your meeting schedule and your resources.
Invite your members
Members join your organization directly and get updates in the Kannect Community Hub app. No friends list, no public profile.
Keep everyone connected
Run your meetings, send updates that arrive, and share resources between sessions. Nobody misses a change again.
Independent. Verified. Built for you.
Two things make Kannect different from the tools support groups usually settle for.
Independent and founder-run
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 answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer.
Verified and spam-free
Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial that stops bots and fake listings. Your members are surrounded by real organizations, not scams targeting people at a vulnerable moment.
A group that holds together between sessions
Of members reached
Every announcement reaches every member who opted in. No algorithm decides who sees a meeting change.
Around your members
No advertising anywhere near your group. Nothing your members read or discuss is monetized.
To launch
Most groups set up their home and invite their first members in under five minutes.
Support group questions, answered
Is our group separate from a social network?
Yes. Members join your organization directly. There is no friends list, no public profile, and no social feed connecting your members to people outside the group.
Will members see advertising?
No. Kannect runs no advertising anywhere in the platform or the member app. Nothing your members read is monetized and nothing they discuss is used for targeting.
Can we run more than one group or chapter?
Yes. You can run several groups under one organization, each with its own members, meetings, and facilitator, while leadership keeps a view across all of them.
How much does Kannect cost?
Plans start at $23/mo billed yearly, or $29/mo month to month. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it, which keeps Kannect verified and spam-free. Nonprofit donations are processed at 0%.
