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. As an added bonus, on the night you will also be able to enjoy complimentary drinks and canapes thanks to our generous sponsors, networking opportunities, and a live auction.

3. Vote for your favourite organisation with your pledge token
4. Contribute to further fundraising by getting involved in the auction and raffle
5. Celebrate the final fundraising amount collectively raised

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.

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.

Some examples of organisations we’ve supported that have gone on to do big things include OrangeSky Laundry, Confit Pathways and This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS).
