Want to help accelerate social innovation in WA?
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 where people who care about social innovation come to connect, and this event is hosted by a committee of volunteers! Join us on Thursday 28 May 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 WA.
The three NFPs we'll be supporting are
No Place for Poverty brings West Australians together to find common ground, take action, and build a fairer, stronger community for all. Informed by the facts and unique stories from people who are living in poverty and from people who want to see it end; it's a place where collective voices can be heard, and together, we can push for fairer systems.
We Are W/M empowers a culture of consent and respect; dismantling systems that enable violence through trauma-informed education, research, and advocacy. Their programs equip individuals with the tools and language to understand consent, build healthy relationships, and navigate online media.
Blak Tapas Impact Group is a First Nations-owned and operated social enterprise and NFP dedicated to empowering local people. It creates culturally safe, capacity building opportunities empowering remote First Nations community members through enterprise, education and connection in the hospitality and tourism industry.

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 generally 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, First Nations youth empowerment, 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).
