Extraordinary fundraising challenges deserve extraordinary support. Apply Now → 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.
