Charity Miles turns your physical activity into donations for causes
Let’s face it, sometimes it’s hard to fit “giving back more” into our routines.
But paying it forward is as simple as taking a step, literally, with Charity Miles, an app that lets you raise money for charity with every mile you move.
This free Webby-winning app has a few standout features to help you be the best version of yourself, while helping others. (Win-win.) Choose a charity from a list of 30 to start, then select an indoor or outdoor activity—walking, running, biking—and start moving. Charity Miles uses GPS location to track your traveled distance and donates up to 10-25 cents to an organization of your choice for each mile.
You can also join a team, or check out the app’s suggested motivational books, podcasts, and quotes for that extra push.
Want bonus points? Share your post-workout photo on social media, and Charity Miles’ partners will donate $1 to a cause of your choice.
Part of giving back is knowing what to focus on. Text Resistbot to identify pressing issues, contact your local representatives, and look up town halls.
