94% of philanthropic funding goes to the largest 10% of NFPs, so early-stage, innovative organisations are too often overlooked. We're working to change that.

Come and hear three high-potential NFPs pitch live for your backing. Each has been scouted, vetted and prepped by our 10xer Program volunteers, the most promising early-stage NFPs in QLD, taking on some of our most complex social challenges.

Join us on Wednesday 21 October for a shark-tank-style pitch night. You'll hear all three make their case, put your donation where you believe it'll go furthest, and leave having met great people and made a real difference together.

Fierce Females delivers self-defence and violence-prevention programs to women and girls, blending psychology, conflict resolution and technique through an all-female trainer model.
Sharing with Friends develops affordable co-housing communities for single older women facing homelessness or housing insecurity, pairing private homes with shared communal space.

Juiced TV produces a weekly show filmed by young patients in hospital to entertain hospitalised children and build their health literacy and wellbeing.

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.

How it works:

Receive two $50 tokens on arrival in return for your $100 donation
Listen to 3 innovative NFPs pitch for 5 minutes each
Unpack the business model with questions from the Sharks and audience
Vote for your preferred organisation with your two $50 tokens
Hear the final funding results and the collective impact you've made

The pool is split by the voting of those in the room. Any additional funds raised are split evenly.

What to expect:

Live pitches from 3 early-stage NFPs
A room full of values-aligned professionals to meet
A real say in where your donation goes
Prizes and experiences up for grabs through the raffle and auction
