What Charity Miles is
Charity Miles is a free Android and iOS app that turns walking, running or cycling distance into money for charity. It uses a phone’s pedometer and GPS, with modes for outdoor walking, outdoor running, outdoor biking, indoor walking and indoor biking. Activities can sync with Apple Health, Android phone pedometers and Strava, including Strava workouts sent by Garmin, Peloton or Fitbit devices. Members may activate a GoFundMe fundraising page or connect an existing page when their charity permits it. Companies can create private employee teams, run challenges and optionally sponsor miles. Charity programs support awareness, peer-to-peer fundraising and corporate partner engagement. The privacy policy says location data is not stored or used for ad-network advertising, while Health Connect data is used only for fitness tracking. Indoor distance may be less accurate because it relies on motion sensors, and GPS accuracy depends on reception.
