May has finally arrived and at HundredX we can almost taste the BBQ, watermelon, and ice cream parties that summer brings! 

Summer can offer SUPER easy ways to enjoy the outdoors and host incredibly engaging and impactful events for your nonprofit.   It’s time to start thinking about the best ways to raise money for your cause this summer.  HundredX has a countdown list of our top 5 favorites to get you started.   

Let us know if you’re planning to try any of these with your supporters this summer – we especially love number 1! 

#5 Food Truck Feedback “FriYAYs” 

Do you have Foodies amongst your supporters? Food Truck Fans? Raise money AND feed your followers AND support your local economy. Food truck Feedback FriYAYs are the trifecta of #winning.   

Partnering with local food trucks for a weekly summer party is a great way to boost business and boost community philanthropy.   Food truck philanthropy varies from business to business, but it can look something like the truck or trucks offering a percentage of sales from the entire event, or from specific menu items, back to the nonprofit as a donation.  Just find your Food Truck fans and supporters and invite them to the event. Double the impact by letting them know that they can also maximize their impact using their voice for good. 

Ask food trucks to advertise your HundredX Causes flier on their trucks for the night. Encourage patrons to give feedback while they wait for their food and socialize after. Foodies will love Food truck Feedback FriYAYs!   Advertise “Food Truck FriYAYs and Feedback for Good” for a good cause!

#4   Outdoor Movie Nights

Outdoor Movie Nights are fan favorites with families. Warm summer nights are the perfect backdrop for hosting a local Movie Night to support your cause!  You don’t need  many supplies to turn this simple idea into a meaningful funding event for your cause.Think of fun extras like VIP seating for an extra donation, movie themed snacks (Quidditch Pretzel Broomsticks, anyone?), or a movie ticket raffle.   Don’t trust the weather where you’re at – no problem!  Partner with a local theater or drive-in option for a VIP experience!  For an easy way to add additional funds to your movie night, “charge” each moviegoer (18 or older) 15 pieces of feedback per ticket. That’s just 15 minutes of their time.

 Your cause receives the funds from HundredX, and your supporters have no out of pocket cost to attend this one-of-a-kind theater!   It’s a win: win!

#3   A Tasting Event

Whether you’re tasting beer, wine, or whiskey, tasting events are a great way to get to know your donors and socialize in a relaxed environment.  Many breweries, pubs and vineyards are happy to host your event for a good cause or you can choose to host one in the comfort of your backyard.  Many local establishments offer a percentage of the revenue from your crowds’ libations to go back to your cause. If it’s an in-home event, asking for a flat donation fee to attend is the way to go.  You can always try mocktails or coffee tastings if beer and wine isn’t your style.   



Affectionately called “Sip, Snack and Give Back” parties by supporters, we love a good tasting event!   These events are the PERFECT venue to have your supporters sip, socialize and share their opinions about brands and businesses.   With an evening’s worth of feedback, your cause is bound to generate significant revenue with this event! 

#2   Food, Freedom and Feedback - Summer Picnics with a Purpose

Few things are more synonymous with summertime than grilling and get-togethers. Does anyone turn down an invitation to a BBQ?  Fire up the smoker and the grill. Invite your donors to a “Picnic with a Purpose” to support your cause!   You can sell tickets for meals or request food donations to cut costs. For added fun, make it a culinary competition  by inviting people to bring their best BBQ sauce or pie to your event to win a coveted first place ribbon.  Add some lawn games, and some local entertainment, the ability to give without spending with HundredX Causes and you’ve got yourself a must-attend summer event.  Feedback equals impact and impact equals freedom. 



Invite attendees to sign up and provide feedback before arriving at the event.  Offer raffle prizes for feedback providers and create a “Feedback Lounge” with cooling fans, comfy seats and beverages where supporters can give feedback in the shade to support your cause without spending a cent.

#1  Stop the Scroll! Try Free Digital Giving Days with HundredX Causes 

While in-person summer fun is unbeatable, time together can be hard to come by no matter how you slice it.  We are BUSY people who are only getting busier!  Give your supporters the gift of an “Un-Get Together” with  a Stop the Scroll - Digital Giving Days with HundredX Causes where supporters simply donate a few minutes of their digital time per day to provide feedback and support your cause.

According to recent statistics, U.S. adults averaged a whopping 147 minutes PER DAY on social media in 2021.   If your supporters can donate just a few of those social media minutes over the course of 30 days, they could generate up to $150 for your cause using HundredX Causes – without spending a cent!   They could give back by simply giving up a few minutes of social media per day.
