How much do you donate per mile on charity miles?

Launch the app, choose Save the Children as your charity of choice, and either walk, run or bike. Once you start moving, Save the Children will earn money for every mile you cover. Walkers and runners earn up to 25¢ per mile; bikers earn up to 10¢ per mile. It's that simple.



The Charity Miles app allows users to raise money for various non-profit organizations by tracking their physical activity, but the donation amount per mile depends on the type of exercise and the available "corporate sponsorship" pool. Historically, the app has facilitated donations of 25 cents per mile for walkers and runners and 10 cents per mile for cyclists. However, in 2026, these rates can fluctuate based on the specific "challenges" or corporate partners active in the app at any given time. The money is not donated by the user, but rather by corporate sponsors who use the app as a social responsibility platform. It is a high-value, "zero-cost" way for individuals to support over 40 charities, including the World Wildlife Fund, Stand Up To Cancer, and Special Olympics. To maximize your impact, it is a peer-to-peer essential to share your completed miles on social media, as this increases the visibility for the sponsors and helps keep the donation pool funded for all users.
