10x10 Philanthropy

Wonderful write up in the New Zealand Herald today featuring 10x10's Head of Aotearoa Alaina McGregor talking about the impact 10x10 funding and connections can have on early stage social purpose organisations 💵 🧡 🤝 The article shares the story of Orange Sky New Zealand who were on the 10x10 stage in 2022... "The night Edward Uini (Orange Sky NZ) pitched in front of the 10x10 donors, he not only walked away with the $10,000 and a hug from a tearful Stubbs, but made valuable connections. Some of the audience became volunteers, others offered their skills to help promote the charity. And Sam Stubbs (Founder of Kiwisaver) invited Uini to pitch to Simplicity’s charitable arm, which has since donated $75,000 to Orange Sky, including $25,000 this year to launch a laundry van in Hawke’s Bay in August. McGregor says those connections made in front of a live audience were as valuable as the money. 10x10′s target demographic is Gen Z and millennials — smart, skilled young people who are willing to help." 🙏 Thank you Jane Phare for the write up If you haven't made your pledge to attend for the Auckland event on 7 May yet, we suggest you do quick.. only a few places left 🤗 https://lnkd.in/gn-9Dj4T

It is clear grassroots social purpose organisations lack access to crucial early stage capital and fundraising networks. At 10x10 we find and champion the best of these organisations to deliver real change and we match them with the next generation of philanthropists and venture philanthropy partners to catalyse their growth and impact. Because, big change requires a collective.
