**GiveWheel has launched the 10x Challenge, a £50,000 funding programme designed
to back bold, high-potential fundraising challenges – helping fundraisers turn ambitious
ideas into significantly greater charitable impact.**

The 10x Challenge is open to anyone aiming high. GiveWheel will support fundraising
projects with the ambition and potential to turn every £1 of grant funding into 
at least £10 for charity. The company hopes this willhelp them accelerate momentum,
expand reach, and enable them to raise more for the causes
they care about.

These could be extreme endurance events or world-record attempts, solo efforts or
a large-scale team enterprise.

Charlie Hart, Co-Founder of GiveWheel, explained:

“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.”

## Who can apply?

The 10x Challenge is open to fundraisers across the UK, including:

 * Individuals and athletes taking on endurance, creative, or high-profile challenges
 * Teams and companies mobilising colleagues behind a shared cause
 * Creators and community groups using their platforms to drive large-scale fundraising
 * Student groups with the energy and vision to make a difference

Applicants must be aiming to raise **at least £10,000 for charity**, and applications
must be **submitted
a minimum of three weeks before the challenge begins
.

## What support is available?

Successful applicants will receive:

 * A **share of the £50,000 funding pot** to help bring your challenge to life and
   amplify your charitable impact

 * **Personalised support** and a dedicated point of contact, including guidance
   from GiveWheel’s experienced team
 * **Promotion across GiveWheel’s channels**, helping amplify each fundraiser’s 
   story and reach
 * **Invitations** to future GiveWheel events and opportunities

Funding can be used in whatever way best supports the success of the challenge –
whether that’s
scaling reach, unlocking participation, increasing visibility or 
enabling delivery.

## How it works

 * **Apply** – Submit a short application or video outlining your challenge, goals,
   and why support
   is needed.
 * **Review** – Applications are assessed on ambition, feasibility, and fundraising
   potential.
