10x10 Adelaide | Thursday 29 October 2026

Thursday 29 October 2026

Do you want to help accelerate social innovation in South Australia?

The grand challenges of our time, such as homelessness, addiction, and mental health can't be solved by single solutions working in isolation. 10x10 is a volunteer led initiative where people like you, who care about social innovation, come to connect and make a difference.

Join us on Thursday 29 October 2026 for a shark-tank style pitch and crowdfunding event to support three exceptional early-stage Non-profit Organisations (NFP) innovating to solve social challenges in SA.

Watch as your donation translates into real impact in real time!

The three NFPs we'll be supporting are:

• Fat Farmers - A rural health initiative inspiring and encouraging people in rural communities to improve their physical and mental wellbeing through physical activity, connection and accessible health initiatives.

• The Orange Butterfly - Supporting people and families affected by traumatic brain injury through financial assistance, community connection and awareness, while working to create greater understanding and acceptance of invisible disabilities.

• Fruit Share Adelaide - A volunteer-run organisation rescuing surplus fruit from backyards across Adelaide and the Hills, reducing food waste and redistributing fresh produce to people and organisations experiencing food insecurity.

Amplify your impact through collective giving

Donate $100 into the pool and vote on the night for the NFP you want to back. Everyone in the room gives, and collectively we make a difference for early-stage NFPs.

All of your $100 goes directly toward these worthy organisations to help grow their impact. Your donation is also tax deductible - so you get a little something back for your generosity. 

Upon arrival, two ‘pledge tokens’ worth $50 each will be provided to each attendee – you’ll 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 networking opportunities and complimentary drinks and nibbles.

How the shark-tank style event works:

• Arrive for networking with values-aligned professionals

• Enjoy amazing food, drinks and vibes on us

• Listen to 3 innovative NFPs pitch

• Hear the questioning from our 'Shark for Good' who will help unpack the mission, business model and sustainability 

• Ask your own questions of the NFPs 

• Vote for your preferred organisation with your two $50 tokens

• Engage with further fundraising by getting involved with the raffles and auctions

What is 10x10?

10x10 builds the networks that back innovative not-for-profits (NFPs) taking on Australia’s toughest social challenges. We do that by fueling a thriving movement through our flagship events and building a venture philanthropy funding ecosystem that unlocks new and better philanthropy.

Who we support
The organisations we support punch above their weight. They’re under seven years old, have revenue less than $3M and are using innovative solutions to solve challenges across important social cause areas.

Some examples of organisations we've supported in Adelaide include The Reily Foundation, Lighthouse Youth Projects, and Food On The Table.
