10x10 Philanthropy

What 10x10 Philanthropy does

10x10 Philanthropy Limited is an Australian-registered not-for-profit charity founded in 2013 and headquartered at Greenhouse, 180 George Street, Sydney. The organization operates a collective giving and venture philanthropy platform that connects early-stage innovative not-for-profits (NFPs) with donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and private funders. Since inception it has supported 485+ NFPs, engaged 20,000+ individuals, and unlocked $30M+ in value for the social-purpose organizations in its portfolio, with FY25 alone unlocking $7M and described as the organization's biggest year.

The core offering consists of three interlocking programs: the 10xer Program (a 10-week volunteer initiative in which teams of 10 self-organize to host crowdfunding events), 10x10 Events (collective giving events where 10 hosts each invite 10 guests who collectively fund 3 NFPs through a Charity Dollar voucher system), and a Venture Philanthropy Funding Ecosystem that connects high-potential NFPs with private funders, families, and corporates via a managed end-to-end grant process facilitating a $20M+ grant pool. A Corporate Partnership Program and a Skilled Volunteering Platform extend the model to organizations seeking CSR alignment and to individuals seeking ongoing skills-based engagement. The underlying technology is non-proprietary — Webflow, Airtable, Square, and Humanitix — and supports operational, scheduling, and event ticketing functions rather than constituting a software product.

The organization is funded through multi-year strategic donations from foundations (Airtree, Beluga, Snow, TDM, Neuberger Berman, Turnbull, Karrikin, Shand), corporate event sponsorship (Charter Hall, Goldman Sachs, PwC Foundation Trust, Lottery Corporation, Macquarie Foundation, Wellington Management, Barrenjoey, Franklin Templeton, LGT Crestone, Vinva, Riverlee), individual donations routed via events, and pro bono legal services from Arnold Bloch Leibler. Geographically, 10x10 operates in every Australian capital city, has re-entered New Zealand through a 2026 partnership with Perpetual Guardian, and maintains a presence in London through 10x10 UK. Headline figures of $7M (FY25) and $30M+ (cumulative) represent value unlocked for NFPs rather than the organization's operating revenue, which is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Individual Event Donations: Attendees at 10x10 events make personal donations to selected NFPs. At the first event in 2013, each attendee donated $100, receiving two $50 'Charity Dollar' vouchers to allocate to charities. Individual donations are the primary mechanism of the 10x10 event model, with funds going directly to NFPs rather than to 10x10.
2. Corporate Partnerships & CSR Activations: Corporate partners (e.g., Charter Hall, PwC, Goldman Sachs, Lottery Corp) engage with 10x10 for access to a pipeline of impact-aligned NFPs and employee activation strategies. Partnerships are structured as philanthropic contributions and CSR engagements rather than commercial product sales.
3. Venture Philanthropy Grant Facilitation: 10x10 manages the end-to-end grant process for funding partners (e.g., Community Capital Credit Fund), from identifying and assessing NFPs to conducting due diligence. 10x10 facilitates a $20M+ grant pool, connecting high-potential NFPs with multi-year funding commitments from private funders, families, and corporates.

Core offering

10x10 Philanthropy operates a collective giving and venture philanthropy ecosystem that hosts in-person events where 10 volunteer hosts each invite 10 guests to fund selected early-stage not-for-profits. The 10xer Program is a 10-week volunteer initiative training local committees, and the venture philanthropy team manages a $20M+ grant pool by identifying, assessing, and conducting due diligence on NFPs for institutional and private funders. Corporate partners access a pipeline of impact-aligned NFPs for CSR activations and employee engagement programs.

Product overview

10x10 Philanthropy is a not-for-profit organisation operating a single integrated platform with multiple engagement programs rather than a traditional software product. The core offering consists of the 10xer Program, a 10-week volunteer initiative where participants host crowdfunding events for innovative NFPs, and 10x10 Events, which bring together volunteer hosts and guests for collective giving. Built on top of this, the Venture Philanthropy Funding Ecosystem connects high-potential NFPs with funders through managed grant processes, while the Corporate Partnership Program and Skilled Volunteering Platform extend engagement to organisations and individuals. The model creates a multiplier effect where $1 invested generates $10 in value for NFPs.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• The Funding Network: UK-founded collective-giving organisation that runs events where individuals pool donations to fund grassroots charities. Closest analogue to 10x10's core event model outside Australia, making it the most direct peer and relevant UK expansion benchmark.
• Impact100 Global: Federated network of Impact100 chapters that each pool member donations to award high-impact grants to local nonprofits. Highly comparable collective-giving structure with a $1,000-per-member model similar in spirit to 10x10's $100 donation format.
• Giving Circle Australia: Australian-based platform supporting giving circles and pooled giving by everyday philanthropists. Operates in the same domestic collective-giving niche as 10x10 and competes for the same volunteer and donor pool.

Broad incumbents

• Benevity: Global corporate-giving and employee-engagement platform used by large enterprises to manage CSR programs, volunteer matching and donation matching. Comparable as a corporate-partnership channel for 10x10's corporate program, but as a software platform rather than a curated NFP intermediary.
• GlobalGiving: Global crowdfunding platform connecting individual donors with vetted nonprofit projects worldwide. Comparable as an intermediated giving channel for grassroots NFPs but as a global tech platform rather than a community-event model.
• Paul Ramsay Foundation: Major Australian philanthropic foundation focused on breakthrough initiatives in health, education and economic participation. Comparable as a large-scale Australian venture philanthropist that funds and curates innovative NFPs, though operating at vastly larger scale.
• Social Ventures Australia (SVA): Established Australian impact organisation that backs social-purpose organisations with capital, capacity-building and consulting. Overlaps with 10x10 on venture-philanthropy intermediation and NFP capacity-building, but operates at a much larger institutional scale.
• Minderoo Foundation: Large Australian philanthropic foundation backing innovative social and environmental initiatives. Comparable as an institutional Australian venture philanthropist but operates at materially larger scale than 10x10.

Others

• Perpetual Guardian: New Zealand's pre-eminent philanthropic services provider and 10x10's NZ event partner from 2026. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but a critical ecosystem partner for NZ distribution and corporate giving infrastructure.
• Philanthropy Australia: Peak-body for Australian philanthropy representing foundations, trusts and grantmakers. Not a direct competitor but a sector body whose members overlap with 10x10's funder and NFP ecosystem.
