Why A Social Enterprise

FNC Projects was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to bridge the divide in remote, Indigenous, and underserved communities

Over time, our activity has highlighted that delivering connectivity alone is not enough, it’s how that connectivity is harnessed that creates real, lasting change

By transitioning our Network Equity program into a social enterprise, we are embedding impact at the core of our business model

This ensures that revenue contributes not only to sustainability, but also to reinvestment in the communities we serve

A social enterprise structure allows us to:

Operate with the agility and accountability of a business

Direct profits into projects that improve health, education, climate resilience and community wellbeing

Build long-term partnerships with governments, donors and local organisations who seek both impact and value

What We Hope to Achieve

Our vision is to become a catalyst for digital equity and opportunity across regional and remote geographies

Through this evolution, we aim to:

Reinvest in Communities
At least 40% of our profits will be directed into community-led initiatives, supporting health access, digital education and micro-enterprise

Expand Reach & Partnerships
We will leverage our proven technology and partnerships to bring connectivity enabled solutions into new regions of the Asia-Pacific and beyond.

Demonstrate Sustainability
By combining commercial contracts with social reinvestment, we’ll show that technology projects in underserved areas can be financially viable, scalable and socially responsible

Empower Local Leadership

We will train, employ and support local champions so that each place based project becomes self-sustaining over time

Our Commitment

Becoming a social enterprise is more than a label, it’s a commitment to equity through action

We believe in a future where no community is left behind because of geography or circumstance

Network Equity will deliver high-quality, military-grade connectivity solutions but with a sharpened focus, ensuring every connection creates opportunity
