Charity Miles
Montclair, New Jersey, United States
What it is
Charity Miles turns walking, running, and biking into support for charity by tracking distance with a phone’s pedometer and GPS. Its free app for Android and iOS offers outdoor walking, running, and biking, along with indoor walking and biking modes. Members can connect activity with Apple Health, Android phone pedometers, or Strava; activity sent to Strava from devices such as Garmin, Peloton, and Fitbit can also sync. Members may activate a GoFundMe fundraising page or connect an existing one when their charity permits. Companies can create private employee teams, set challenges, and choose whether to sponsor miles under their own terms. The charity program offers tools for awareness, peer-to-peer fundraising, and corporate partner engagement. The company’s privacy policy says it does not store location data or use it for ad network advertising. It also says Health Connect data is used for fitness features, not ads, and is not sold or transferred except to provide services or as required by law. Indoor distance depends on motion sensors and may be less accurate than GPS; GPS precision depends on reception.
