Communications Fiji Limited, the parent company of FM96, LegendFM, VITIFM, Navtarang, Radio Sargam, and the country's leading digital news platform fijivillage, is now launching its new charitable trust, Communications Fiji Foundation or CFL Foundation with the company contributing 5 percent of the Group's profit after tax for the first six months of this year.

CFL Chair William Parkinson says CFL have always believed that our responsibility goes beyond broadcasting.

Parkinson says the formation of the Communications Fiji Foundation, backed by a direct profit commitment from the company, allows CFL to better use the goodwill of our audiences, advertisers, and CFL team members to build a more resilient and caring society.

For decades, CFL has been dedicated to community service, regularly stepping up to help children with special needs, those facing serious health issues like cancer, and families impacted by natural disasters.

From fundraising efforts for cyclone relief to supporting individuals with terminal illnesses, CFL has built a strong reputation for making a real difference through its platforms.

As part of CFL's ongoing commitment to the Foundation, the Company will contribute 5 percent of the Group's profit after tax each year.

Based on the recently announced half-year results to June 30th, 2025, CFL will make its initial contribution of $45,737.60, which is 5 percent of the Group’s profit after tax of $914,752.

This contribution marks the start of a steady funding source that will support the Foundation's work and growth.

The Foundation will be a dedicated channel for directing resources, coordinating programs, partnering with listeners and advertisers to build lasting projects that directly benefit vulnerable communities across Fiji and the Pacific.

The Communications Fiji Foundation will soon announce its first projects and fundraising activities.

Parkinson says it will invite the public and partners to work together with CFL in creating positive change across Fiji.
