Description
Wednesday 14 October 2026
94% of philanthropic funding goes to the largest 10% of NFPs. This means that funding often doesn't reach early-stage, innovative NFPs. 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 Victoria, taking on some of our most complex social challenges.
Join us on Wednesday 14 October 2026 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.
The three NFPs we'll be supporting are:
The DV Collective: Supports frontline domestic and family violence services by connecting them with funding, resources and partnerships so they can provide greater safety, support and opportunities for women and children.
Gnarly Neighbours: Empowers young people through free skateboarding, creative, wellbeing and employment programs that build confidence, connection and positive pathways for the future.
Farm My School: Transforms unused school grounds into regenerative farms that grow fresh food while teaching students about sustainability, healthy eating and building stronger local communities.
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.

Listen to 3 innovative NFPs pitch for 5 minutes each
Unpack the business model with questions from the Sharks and audience
