Create Impact Through the Circular Innovation Network

Fuel a circular ecosystem by supporting youth innovation, community projects and environmental impact.

What We Do

From strategy to delivery, we help organisations design, implement and measure practical community innovation that turns ESG, CSR and community commitments into measurable impact.

We design and deliver practical community innovation projects that strengthen ESG, CSR, workforce participation and community wellbeing.

Working alongside businesses, chambers of commerce, charities, schools and local communities, we transform underused skills, ideas and surplus resources into social, environmental and economic value—reducing waste, increasing participation and diverting reusable resources from landfill.

Why It Matters

Australia is facing rising living costs, workforce shortages, increasing business expenses and growing barriers to workforce participation. At the same time, valuable skills, ideas and resources remain underused across our communities.

Deals Colony exists to bridge these gaps by helping organisations and communities make better use of what they already have—creating measurable social, environmental and economic outcomes through our Community Innovation Operating Model™, developed over more than 10 years of practical field work connecting potential with opportunity.

We support purpose-driven organisations to create flexible work pathways, community-led innovation and circular economy initiatives that reduce waste, strengthen local capability and deliver measurable impact.

Our Circular Marketplace
Shop Community Innovation

As part of our Movement for 'Creating Equal Access to Opportunity', we believe nothing valuable should go to waste—not skills, ideas, stories, surplus or lived experience.

Our Community Innovation Marketplace transforms community innovation into products, services, learning opportunities and circular ventures—creating new opportunities for individuals, community organisations and businesses to build experience, generate income and create measurable impact.

Discover circular products, community-created solutions, purpose-driven services and surplus reimagined. Every purchase, booking and collaboration supports our Circular Innovation Network, helping create more opportunities for people and communities to thrive.

Every product tells a story. Every purchase creates an opportunity.

Our Impact

We don’t just build projects — we build the infrastructure that helps communities continuously create new projects, partnerships and opportunities within our circular‑innovation network.

Our Social Impact: Community Innovation Projects

Whether you're building a portfolio, launching a venture, strengthening your community or delivering ESG outcomes, Deals Colony helps turn ideas into measurable impact.
Our projects are tailored to each partner, but they all share one goal: creating measurable community impact.

Founder Story

My name is Monika Kulshrestha

Deals Colony began with one simple belief:

The world's greatest waste isn't products—it's untapped human potential.

After more than 20 years working across engineering, technology, data, business transformation and community sectors, I saw talented people, valuable skills and great ideas being overlooked every day.

At the same time, I experienced firsthand how rising financial pressures, family responsibilities, career transitions and migration can leave capable people disconnected from meaningful opportunities—often affecting confidence, identity and wellbeing.

Meanwhile, organisations were searching for practical ways to create genuine community impact while meeting their ESG, CSR and social procurement commitments.

That's why I founded Deals Colony.

Today, we help businesses, schools, charities and communities co-design practical projects that transform untapped potential into measurable social, environmental and economic outcomes.

Because when people are given the opportunity to contribute, communities thrive.

One idea, one connection, one story at a time.

Our Philosophy

We believe every person has potential. Every organisation has the power to create impact. Deals Colony brings them together through community innovation — ensuring no skill, no story, no product and no resource is overlooked.

As an Australian social enterprise, 100% of our profits are reinvested into creating new opportunities for communities, so financial pressure, career transitions and family responsibilities shouldn’t prevent people from contributing their skills, building meaningful work or maintaining their wellbeing.

Who We Partner With

Strategic Impact Partners: A growing corporate partnership layer that makes the whole network self-sustaining — reinvesting into the other three circles so impact keeps compounding, year on year.

How We Work

Most partners blend roles and that’s the design. You can work with us as an individual, an education or community partner, a corporate CSR partner, or a founding partner. We keep it simple with clear governance, measurable reporting and trusted sustainability frameworks.

4. Co-Invest & Co-Sustain the Network

Join a practical network where members collaborate on real projects, build visibility, grow partnerships and create measurable impact together.

1. Align — we map your CSR/ESG strategy against our three circles to find where you fit.

2. Invest — you fund or co-fund one or more circles (individual, education, or corporate delivery).

3. Compound — your investment reinvests into all three circles, not just one project.

4. Report — you receive consolidated impact data across every circle you've helped fund.

Invest in our circular network and help us plant trees: Like HHHJ — which began as a passion project by a 10‑year‑old and became a Top 5 finalist in the 2026 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards QLD (QFCC – Contribution to Community or Family Safety) and a Semi‑Finalist for the Australian Foundation Connecting Communities Award — our model turns screen time into skill time.

HHHJ has inspired 500+ young people, raised $10,000+ for community projects, donated $5,000+ to charities and partnered with 50+ organisations. Your investment helps us scale this impact across circular‑economy innovation — so for every idea, we can plant a tree.

Every person, project, purchase and partnership contributes to the same impact ecosystem.

Join Australia's Circular Innovation Network

The Circular Innovation Network (CIN) is a collaborative ecosystem that helps individuals, community organisations and businesses turn underused skills, ideas and resources into measurable social, environmental and economic impact.

Built on more than a decade of real-world pilots and community innovation, the network combines shared business support, technology, marketing, partnerships and project delivery to reduce costs, increase visibility and accelerate meaningful outcomes. Members can collaborate on circular economy initiatives, contribute to zero-waste case studies, share knowledge and resources, and be showcased through our website, blogs, social media and community campaigns. Every project contributes to a growing portfolio of measurable impact while inspiring others to create positive change. Whether you're looking to build your portfolio, grow a venture, strengthen your organisation or support community innovation, the Circular Innovation Network provides a practical pathway to turn ideas into action and impact.

By valuing what people can give—not just what they can buy—we create a more circular, inclusive and net-positive way of working together.
