10x10’s MISSION

“To Empower the Next Generation of Giving”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. 10 volunteer committee members organise a charity event (1 x venue, 3 x charities, 1 x dragon, food & drink).
2. Each committee member invites at least 10 of their friends to make a $100 pledge (or more) to attend the event (10x10... get it?) creating a pool of at least $10K.
3. Upon arrival, each attendee is given 'Charity Dollars' equal to the value of their ‘Pledge’.
4. After drinks and canapes, attendees are seated to watch the #Dragonforgood question the three chosen charities who pitch, to you the audience, their cause, model and impact.
5. Each attendee then decides directly who they want to give their ‘Charity Dollars’ to.
6. Charities receive 100% of the funds raised minus a 10% project fee to 10x10 to cover admin and overhead costs.
7. You will then receive a tax deductible receipt 4-6 weeks from the charity post the event.
