Impact100 Sydney 2026 Grant Pitch Night

Join us for Impact100 Sydney’s most significant event of the year, where our giving circle comes together to celebrate the power of collective impact in creating lasting change. Through the generous contributions of our members, we will be awarding our signature $100,000 grant to a transformational local initiative.

This year, we are delighted to be hosted by Deloitte Australia, where we will witness the remarkable work of our four carefully selected finalists. Each organisation is dedicated to lifting up the next generation across Greater Sydney through innovative approaches to opportunity, security, and empowerment.

✨ Meet Our 2026 Finalists

The calibre of applications this year has been truly exceptional, reflecting both a pressing need for programs that support young people experiencing economic hardship and the innovative solutions emerging from our community. Our four finalists have demonstrated extraordinary vision in breaking down barriers for youth, proposing programs that target systemic disadvantage, financial strain, and social exclusion:

• Chain Reaction Foundation

• Mobileyes Dental Foundation

• Open Door Youth Housing Support Service

• The Settlement

From providing critical education and employment pathways, to delivering targeted relief and mentorship, each organisation represents a unique approach to giving young people the tools they need to thrive. We are excited for you to hear their inspiring stories firsthand.

🌟 What to Expect.

The evening offers an inspiring program designed to connect and engage our community:

• Thought-provoking pitches: Hear live presentations showcasing innovative approaches to youth empowerment and economic relief.

• Meaningful networking: Connect with fellow members who share your commitment to supporting the next generation.

• Warm hospitality: Enjoy the welcoming atmosphere that makes our events truly special.

👥 Bring Your Circle

We recognise that for many of our donors, this important decision involves family input and reflection. As such, we encourage you to bring your family members to participate in this significant process.

Additionally, if you wish to introduce colleagues or friends to Impact100 Sydney and our mission of supporting young people experiencing economic hardship, they are most welcome to attend and witness the transformative power of collective giving. The more the merrier!

Please note: Last year’s event reached capacity quickly. Because we anticipate even greater interest in this year's focus on youth economic empowerment, we strongly advise early registration to ensure your place in this pivotal decision-making process.
