10x10’s MISSION:

“To Empower the Next Generation of Giving”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

- 10 volunteer committee members organise a charity event (1 x venue, 3 x charities, 3 x dragons, drinks & canapes).

- Each committee member invites at least 10 of their friends, family and colleagues to attend the event (10 x 10... get it?). Each guest pledges HK$1,000 or more to attend the event, creating a pool of at least HK$100,000. 

- Upon arrival at the event, each attendee is given 'Charity Dollars' equal to the value of their ‘Pledge’.

- After drinks, snacks and networking, attendees are seated to watch the 3 charities pitch their unique cause, and listen to the panel of Dragons question the speakers on their business model, impact and future goals. The audience also have an opportunity to ask questions of the charities.

- After the pitches and friendly interrogation from the Dragons, each attendee then decides which charity they want to give their ‘Charity Dollars’ to.

- Charities receive 100% of the funds raised (minus a 10% project fee to 10x10 to cover admin and overhead costs).

- Guests can opt to receive a tax deductible receipt from the charity 4-6 weeks after the event.

THE CHARITIES

For this event the committee members have chosen 3 exceptional charities who will be pitching their unique causes to you on the night:

• Sprouts Foundation 
• Rooftop Republic
• The Brightly Project

SPROUTS FOUNDATION

Sprouts Foundation aims to break the cycle of inter-generational poverty, by providing education programs to some of the lowest-income families in Hong Kong and elsewhere.  Our small-group, activity-based classes focus on enhancing children’s self-esteem and their interest in learning, by building skills relevant both to work and life.  These include English and IT proficiency, as well as a wide range of professional capabilities including entrepreneurship.  Combined with corporate visits and a variety of weekend outings, we help open our students’ eyes to the world and the many opportunities around them, and give them the capacity and confidence to reach out more ambitiously.

ROOFTOP REPUBLIC 

Rooftop Republic Foundation is dedicated to building inclusive communities around urban farming and sustainable living in Hong Kong. 

The Foundation works closely with:

(i) local schools to establish farm-based education programmes (projected to impact 1000+ students over the next 3-4 years) 

(ii) disenfranchised groups, such as youth and the elderly, encouraging them to participate in the community through urban farming (30+ community programmes projected to impact 1000+ elderly over the next 3-4 years)

(iii) marginalised communities, including persons with special needs, to provide vocational job trainings and job placement in urban farming

Donations from this 10x10 event will go towards:

- rolling out training programmes (2 vocational training programes per year enrolling 30 students per cohort)

- creating a space to bring communities together including people with special needs

- creating urban farms for horticultural therapy

LULIO LIMITED - THE BRIGHTLY PROJECT

Lulio targets to prevent student suicides by empowering schools and their teachers to feel more confident, capable and knowledgeable in their efforts to proactively support students at risk of suicide. 

Donations from this 10x10 event will go towards screening 4,000 students for suicide risk, and to work directly with four schools, who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford the services, to:

1. Identify where students are struggling and potential areas of risk

2. Provide data on mental health in their school

3. Based on the data, implement mental health and suicide prevention strategies and actions

4. Create a series of YouTube videos for students to learn more about mental health, how to understand and interpret their own feelings, and to decrease the stigma around asking for help
