Stop Wasting Potential. Start Creating Impact.
One Network - 4 Pathways - Two Hours A Week
Build your portfolio, strengthen your organisation, create measurable impact or help grow the movement—all through one collaborative network. Together, we transform skills, ideas, projects and surplus into products, services and ventures that create lasting value.
Using our 2-Hour-a-Week Community Innovation Flywheel Model, we co-design, deliver and measure real-world community innovation projects that create measurable social, environmental and economic impact.
Choose the pathway that best matches your goals today. You can always explore the others as you grow.
What We Do
From strategy to delivery, we design, implement and measure projects that strengthen ESG, CSR, workforce participation, circular economy outcomes and community wellbeing.
Working alongside businesses, chambers of commerce, charities, schools and local communities, we turn underused skills, ideas and surplus resources into practical community innovation—creating social procurement opportunities that reduce waste, increase participation and create lasting value.
Community Innovation
@Repurpose • Circular Economy Solutions
→ Food waste transformed into new young plants, and garden waste repurposed into Christmas team‑building kits instead of buying new Secret Santa gifts — a zero‑waste community innovation.
Community Programs
@Rethink • Inclusive Supply Chains
→ Surplus stock transformed into Christmas kits, with an NDIS enterprise engaged to prepare kits, co‑design new products and create local employment instead of importing from overseas.
Workforce Innovation Programs
@Regenerate • ESG & CSR Outcomes
→ Repurposed and garden materials transformed into ESG and sustainability educational workshops supporting employee engagement, while donated technology is refurbished by charity and offered to students in need.
Partnerships & Social Procurement
@Rethink • Local Supply Chain Support
→ Holidays Camps are designed to develop life skills, social skills and planet‑positive activities. An environmental charity is engaged to deliver school clean‑up workshops and divert waste from landfill, helping build community connections & partnerships.
Venture Building
@Reuse + Revive • Global Venture Marketplace
→ Existing businesses, products and ideas revived into new community ventures and career pathways. Partnered with a business marketplace to support business retention and expansion of retiring and legacy businesses, creating pathways for first‑time youth and entrepreneurs to get into business.
Why It Matters
Australia is facing challenges including rising living costs, workforce shortages and increasing business expenses, alongside valuable skills and resources that remain underutilised.
Deals Colony exists to help address these challenges by helping organisations make better use of what they already have through our Community Innovation Framework, developed through more than 10 years of hands-on experience.
We help purpose-driven organisations create flexible work pathways, community-led innovation and circular economy initiatives that strengthen local capabilities and deliver measurable results.

This creates new opportunities for individuals, community organisations and businesses to build experience, generate income and deliver measurable impact through our 2‑hour‑a‑week model.

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.
Who We Partner With
Three Circles. One Network. Everything we build sits inside one of three circles and increasingly, a fourth.
Choose the pathway that's right for you. Every journey starts with a coffee chat ☕.
Invest in a self-sustaining ecosystem that multiplies community impact.
We don't ask businesses to donate. We help them invest in community innovation that creates measurable value for their business and the communities they serve.
Your partnership helps grow the Deals Colony innovation network by reinvesting into individuals, community organisations, industry collaborations and youth—creating long‑term economic, social and environmental value. Together we’ll expand community‑led innovation projects, support workforce participation and entrepreneurship, build stronger local partnerships, scale measurable ESG outcomes, and create a lasting legacy for future generations through tree‑planting and regenerating local environments.
And we’ll bring this to life through:
✔ Sponsoring a Future Ready Kids™ Program
✔ Hosting a Circular Product Design Workshop
✔ Running an Employee Innovation Day
✔ Delivering an AI for Good Workshop
✔ Bringing people together for a Community High Tea
✔ Showcasing emerging talent through the Future Leaders Forum™
Duration: Tailored to your impact goals
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
Become a Circular Innovation Network™ Partner, invest in an Annual Community Innovation Partnership, engage us for ESG & CSR Program Delivery, or utilise our Community Impact Measurement & Reporting. Each pathway connects you to a 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 expand proven community innovation programs — HHHJ being one example — so every new idea can create real-world impact and plant a tree for future generations.
Every person, project, purchase and partnership contributes to the same impact ecosystem.
