What is the 10x Challenge?

A new £50,000 funding programme designed to back bold, high-potential fundraising challenges — helping fundraisers turn ambitious ideas into significantly greater charitable impact.

We'll support fundraising projects with the ambition and potential to turn every £1 of grant funding into at least £10 for charity, accelerating momentum, expanding reach, and enabling fundraisers to raise more for the causes they care about.

Whether you need a small boost to get across the start line, or meaningful backing to unlock a record-breaking idea, we want to help you go further — and raise more.

The 10x Challenge is open to anyone with the ambition and determination to deliver an inspiring fundraising challenge with real charitable impact.

Our Mission

Too many brilliant fundraising ideas never happen. Not because they lack passion or ambition – but because the practical barriers feel too big. At GiveWheel, we want to proactively support those going the extra mile for their communities. Together, we'd love for our £50,000 grant funding to have 10x the impact, becoming £500,000 for great causes!

We're excited to back challenges with real potential to:

  • Raise significant funds for charity
  • Inspire others to take action
  • Shine a spotlight on important causes
  • Demonstrate ambition, creativity, and courage

From extreme endurance events and world-record attempts to innovative campaigns and large-scale team efforts, the 10x Challenge is open to fundraisers with big ideas and potential to scale.

“I was just a normal guy with a boyhood dream to climb Everest. Losing my legs was devastating, but it gave me a second chance to do something positive and inspire others. A disability shouldn’t limit the size of your dreams — you may need to adapt your approach or require help, but you can still achieve incredible things.

I’m hugely grateful for the support from GiveWheel and proud to endorse the 10x Challenge, which will help others aim high and make a real difference.”

Hari Budha Magar, grant recipient & first double above-knee amputee to summit Everest

How It Works

1. Apply

Tell us about your challenge, your fundraising goal, and why support would make a difference. Applications are now open and reviewed on a rolling basis until 30th April 2026.

2. Review

We assess applications on ambition, feasibility, safety, and fundraising potential.

3. Funding

If successful, you'll receive:

  • 💸 A share of the £50,000 total pot to help bring your challenge to life and amplify your charitable impact.
  • 💪 Personalised support and a dedicated point of contact, including guidance from our experienced team.
  • 📣 Promotion across GiveWheel's channels, amplifying your story to our community.
  • ✉️ Invitations to future GiveWheel events and opportunities.

There are no fixed limits. Whether you need a top-up to make your challenge possible, or substantial support to unlock a £1 million fundraising target, we’ll allocate funding flexibly from the total fund.

Who Is It For?

The 10x Challenge is open to all. We welcome applications from individuals taking on personal feats of endurance or creativity, teams and companies uniting colleagues behind a shared mission, creators and community groups using their platform for good, athletes and adventurers pushing the limits of human performance, and student groups with the energy and vision to make a difference.

What matters most is the quality of the challenge and its potential to raise funds for great cause — not who you are.

We're looking for:

  • Extraordinary, ambitious, and impact-driven challenges, where charitable fundraising is a central aim.
  • A minimum fundraising target of £10,000 with a vision to turn £1 of grant support into £10+ for charities.
  • A plan that is realistic, achievable, and safe.
  • Applicants aged 18+ and based in the UK, looking to fundraise for one or more UK-registered charities on GiveWheel.

We’re especially keen to see a strong connection between your challenge and the charity (or charities) you’re supporting – where your story and the cause come together to create a powerful narrative.

“There’s no shortage of ambition in fundraising — what’s often missing is the backing to go further. The 10x Challenge is about realising potential. If a small amount of funding can unlock something much bigger for charity, we want to be part of making that happen.”

Charlie Hart, GiveWheel Co-Founder
