Charity Footprints LLC is a US-based company with a vision to make the world a healthier, more generous, and more community-oriented place. We link personal fitness to charitable giving, using technology to gamify the traditional charitable fundraising model.

We help non-profit organizations by reducing the overhead costs of event fundraising, by streamlining the flow of donations, and by connecting them with new and generous donors all across the globe.

How it works:

1. Set a Goal: Set an individual fundraising goal or invite buddies to set a team fundraiser. The user selects the type of workout (bike/run/walk); the workout distance; the completion date.

2. Select a Charity: Select a charity to fundraise for from our select list of featured charities; or use the Charity Navigator powered search function to select from over a million 501(c)(3) status (US registered) non-profits.

3. Invite Sponsor: Reach out to your friends, family or corporates to pledge for your goals. You can also self-pledge for the goals.

4. Complete Goal: Track your running, biking, and walking workouts using the Charity Footprints mobile application.

5. Money Donated: Complete your goal to unlock the pledge conversion to donations for the selected charity.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically reduce battery life.
