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.

Donate to attend and help make a difference. A $100 tax-deductible donation gets you in the door - and straight into the action. Upon arrival, you'll receive two $50 ‘pledge tokens’ – you’ll select and donate your tokens to the organisation that most moves you to support their growth and impact 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 enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles thanks to our generous sponsors, plenty of networking opportunities, and an exciting live auction.

How the shark-tank style event works:

• Dress code is smart business casual
• Arrive and connect with values-aligned professionals 
• Listen to 3 innovative NFPs pitch their bold ideas for 5 minutes each 
• Hear the questioning from our 'Sharks for Good' who help unpack the mission, business model and sustainability 
• Join in the conversation by asking your own questions of the NFPs 
• Vote for your impact by pledging your two $50 tokens to the NFP you most want to see grow
• Keep the momentum and fundraising going by getting involved with the raffles and auctions
