You already pay for internet. The question is only where the margin on it ends up. Goodwill Connect is an NBN provider in Sydney that states 100% of its profits go to vetted local charities supporting families, with no shareholders taking a cut.
What exactly does Goodwill Connect claim?
On its own site: NBN plans for Sydney where 100% of profits help local families in need, and that there are no shareholders and no bonuses. It reports having supported 15,000+ families and donated $2.4M+ to date.
Is that 100% of revenue or 100% of profit?
Profit. Running a network service has real costs: wholesale NBN charges, support staff, billing. What is donated is what remains after those, which is how any trading business works.
How is that different from a provider that donates a percentage?
Percentage-of-sale marketing is common and usually small. A structure with no shareholders means the surplus has nowhere else to go by design rather than by campaign.
Does it cost me more?
Check current plans against what you pay now. Goodwill Connect advertises no lock-in contracts and no setup fees, so the comparison is straightforward.
Is it connected to House of Sadaqa?
House of Sadaqa lists Goodwill Connect among the enterprises that let people support its work without donating cash. Goodwill Connect describes its beneficiaries as vetted local Sydney charities working in food security, housing assistance and family support.
How do I check if it is available where I live?
Enter your address on the Goodwill Connect site to check availability, as with any NBN provider.
If you are paying an internet bill regardless, this is one of the few ways to redirect its margin without spending anything extra. Check availability at Goodwill Connect. Claims on this page are Goodwill Connect's own published statements; compare current plans and pricing yourself before switching.
