Perth 10x10 Event
November 2024
5:45pm, 20 November 2024
A night of fun and philanthropy
Want to help accelerate social innovation in Perth?
The grand challenges of our time, such as homelessness, addiction, mental health – can’t be solved by single solutions working in isolation. 10×10 is where people who care about social innovation come to connect and this event is hosted by a committee of volunteers! Join us on 20 November 2024 for a shark-tank style pitch and crowdfunding event to support three exceptional early stage Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs) innovating to solve social challenges in Western Australia.
Event Location:
The Exchange Tower Function Centre
Our Social Purpose Organisations
Mettle
Employing women who are experiencing homelessness due to domestic and family violence and equipping them with the skills, confidence, and financial security required to secure and maintain employment.
Tender Funerals
Providing dignified funeral services that honour life by ensuring that those experiencing financial hardship or distress are able to access personalised, meaningful and affordable funerals.
Men’s Talk
Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and wellness to create a positive future for men through promoting activities and conversation that support men’s wellbeing.

Upon arrival, two ‘pledge tokens’ worth $50 each will be provided to each attendee – you’ll select and donate your tokens to the organisation that resonates with you on the night.

What is 10x10?
10×10 is a not-for-profit that is working to accelerate social innovation in Australia. We do this by supporting early stage innovative not-for-profits to access funding and networks enabling them to grow. These crowdfunding events are organised by volunteer committees of local people who care about social impact and doing things better (innovation). For the organisations, the crowdfunding events help raise critical seed funding, and 10×10 works with philanthropic partners to provide a pathway for scale funding that is multi-year and multi-figure.
Who We Support
The organisations we support punch above their weight. They’re under seven years old, have revenue less than AUD2M and are using innovative solutions to solve societal challenges across cause areas including domestic violence, homelessness, recidivism, mental health, accessibility and food insecurity.
