Want to help accelerate social innovation in NSW?

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 5 November 2025 for a shark-tank style pitch and crowdfunding event to support three exceptional early-stage not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) innovating to solve social challenges in NSW.

The three NFPs we'll be supporting are:

Empowering Parents in Crisis (EPIC) is a peer support platform that provides a safe, non-judgemental community for parents and carers of young people, empowering them with knowledge, skills, and confidence to support their children, families, and themselves through workshops, meetups, walks, and online resources.
Take2 Australia provides advanced technology and life skills training to incarcerated individuals, supporting their reintegration through career development, mentorship, and holistic support to help them thrive after release. The program aims to transform participants into job-ready web developers and offers ongoing assistance with employment, personal finances, and community connection.
The Man Walk provides an opportunity for men to get together to walk, talk, and support in a regular and healthy way with no judgement, pressure or expectations.

Donate to attend and help make a difference

By making a tax-deductible donation of $100 giving you access to the event, you’re directly helping these organisations to grow their impact. Upon arrival, two ‘pledge tokens’ worth $50 each will be provided to each attendee – you’ll select and 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 complimentary drinks and nibbles thanks to our generous sponsors, networking opportunities, and a live auction.

What is 10x10?

10x10 is a not-for-profit that is working to accelerate social innovation in Australia. We do this by supporting early stage social enterprises tackling some of the most pressing challenges across Australia. 10x10 identifies and amplifies high-impact NFPs doing amazing work in their communities – often with limited resources and recognition. Through curated live crowdfunding events we give these changemakers the platform and support they need to grow their impact. The crowdfunding events help raise critical seed funding, and 10x10 works with philanthropic partners to provide a pathway for scale funding that is multi-year and multi-figure.

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).
