HIPAA-Compliant Software Built for Health-Focused Nonprofits

Manage client data, case workflows, and program reporting securely — without enterprise pricing or an IT department.

Most compliance software is built for hospital networks, not organizations running on grant funding. You handle protected health information — client records, intake forms, case notes — but the tools that can handle it safely are priced for systems ten times your size.

Knack Health is built for the gap between “too sensitive for spreadsheets” and “too expensive for enterprise software.”

What Nonprofits Build With Knack Health

CLIENT AND CASE MANAGEMENT

Track individuals across services, programs, and time. Log case notes, referrals, service history, and outcomes in one secure system — with role-based permissions that control exactly who sees what.

SECURE INTAKE AND ENROLLMENT

Replace paper forms and emailed attachments with digital intake that feeds directly into your database. Collect consent, demographics, and program eligibility in one place, with PHI encrypted from the moment it’s submitted.

PROGRAM AND GRANT REPORTING

Build dashboards and reports that pull directly from your operational data. When a funder asks for outcome metrics, you run a report — not a week-long data collection exercise across multiple spreadsheets.

SHELTER AND PLACEMENT TRACKING

Manage bed availability, placement history, and individual or family records for organizations providing housing or emergency services. Supports alias-based records for clients who require privacy protection.

EMS AND EMERGENCY DOCUMENTATION

Build digital check sheets and patient event logs for volunteer rescue and EMS organizations that need HIPAA-compliant documentation without purpose-built EMS software costs.

STAFF AND VOLUNTEER COORDINATION

Track certifications, training completions, and role assignments across your team. Set automated reminders for renewals and generate compliance reports to satisfy grant or regulatory requirements.

“Knack is instrumental in the daily running of the business. It literally runs every facet of our company. In the beginning, it probably took me three or four days to build out a new section. Now I can build something new in under an hour.”

“Knack allows an enormous amount of flexibility but is also very robust. Usually, robustness is compromised when you introduce malleability, but in Knack’s case, I haven’t experienced that.”

HIPAA-compliant Software for Nonprofits FAQs

Does HIPAA apply to nonprofits?
Yes, if your organization is a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA — which includes most nonprofits providing health services, mental health care, substance use treatment, or handling protected health information on behalf of a covered entity. Many community health organizations, behavioral health nonprofits, and social services agencies fall under HIPAA regardless of their tax status. We recommend confirming your specific obligations with legal counsel.
Nonprofit pricing is available on annual plans, starting at $625/month for covered entities. Knack Health charges by plan rather than per user — your cost doesn’t increase as you add staff, volunteers, or clients.
Yes. Knack Health is designed for non-technical staff. You build and manage your system using a visual editor — no coding or IT support required. Role-based permissions, encrypted data storage, and record change logs are built into the platform from day one.
Yes. Knack supports data import from spreadsheets and CSV files, and connects to external systems via API for more complex migrations. Your data is yours — you can export it at any time in standard formats.
Yes. Each program or location operates within the same database while keeping data appropriately separated. Staff see only what their role allows. Leadership and administrators have visibility across the full organization.
Yes. A signed BAA is available for covered entities on HIPAA plans — included, not an add-on. Knack Health also provides compliance documentation for security reviews, grant applications, and board reporting.
