📅 Event Details

Date: Thursday, 26 March 2026

Time: Doors open 5.00pm · Event starts at 5.30pm

Venue: Wilson Street Baptist Hall – 17 Wilson Street, Timaru

We invite guests to make a recommended donation of $100 to take part in the giving on the night.

This pledge is a tax‑deductible donation that directly contributes to the three grassroots charities participating on the night.

After hearing the pitches and Q&A from each charity, you’ll have the opportunity to allocate your pledge to the organisation that resonates most with you — it’s all part of the fun, collective spirit at the heart of 10x10.

Any unallocated pledges will be divided equally between the three charities.

And the final numbers are in! 31 March 2026

Thank you for donating and/or attending the 10x10 Timaru Event last week. We were thrilled with the support in the room which landed grants over $4,000 for each of the three nominated charities, all of whom spoke beautifully in support of their local work. We hope to see you again in the future.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
