Want to help accelerate social innovation in WA?
The grand challenges of our time – homelessness, addiction, and mental health – can’t be solved by single solutions working in isolation. 10x10 is where people who care about social innovation come together to connect, collaborate, and create change.
On 6 November 2025, join us for a high-energy, high-stakes, and high-impact night – a shark-tank style pitch and crowdfunding event supporting three exceptional early-stage NFPs innovating to solve WA’s toughest social challenges.
Hosted by a committee of passionate volunteers, this is where bold ideas get their breakthrough — and where generosity becomes real, measurable change for our WA community.
Donate to attend and help make a difference:
A $100 tax-deductible donation gets you in the door — and straight into the action. You’ll receive two $50 pledge tokens on arrival to back the NFPs that move you most on the night.
Feeling inspired to do more? You can 10x your impact with a $1,000 tax-deductible donation — supercharging support for the causes you care about.
You’ll also enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles thanks to our generous sponsors, plenty of opportunities for networking, and an exciting live auction.
What to expect on the night:
Network with a room full of values-aligned professionals
Listen to three innovative NFPs pitch their bold ideas for 5 minutes each
Watch our 'Sharks for Good' dig deeper, helping unpack the mission, business model, and sustainability
Join in the conversation by asking your own questions of the NFPs
Decide where your support goes by pledging your tokens to the organisations
Keep the momentum going with further fundraising by getting involved in the raffles and auctions
The three NFPs we’ll be supporting:
McGovern Foundation
Driving Opportunity and Independence for All
For many, a driver’s licence is more than mobility – it’s a lifeline to employment, education, and healthcare, and community participation. The McGovern Foundation addresses the barriers that keep disadvantaged West Australians off the road, helping them gain independence, opportunity, and a brighter future.
20Talk
Youth-Led, Relatable Mental Health Education
Founded by two mates who turned tragedy into purpose, 20Talk is a youth-led movement redefining mental health for young Australian’s. With a bold vision to become the most relatable mental health charity of the 21st century, they’re normalising the conversation through innovative media, practical training, and engaging events - making wellbeing education cool and accessible for everyone.
Plenty Gifting
Tackling Food Insecurity through Simple Acts of Giving
The gift of a meal is one of the oldest acts of kindness. Plenty Gifting is Perth’s unique profit-for-purpose meal gifting service, delivering delicious chef-prepared meals as an alternative to flowers. That kindness is then amplified — with 100% of profits supporting local food relief programs and helping fight food insecurity across WA, one meal at a time.

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 fuelling 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 AUD3M 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).
