Charitable mobile apps for tech-savvy givers

Charity Miles

Stay in shape while giving back with this untraditional charitable app. Download Charity Miles on your iOS or Android smartphone and select from a number of charities to support, including Habitat for Humanity, Feeding America and Autism Speaks. As you run or bike, Charity Miles will donate $0.25 for every mile you run or $0.10 for every mile you walk. The harder you push your body, the more support that goes to the charity of your choice. Lace up your running shoes and do some good for your health and worthy causes.

American Red Cross

Red Cross makes it easy to donate. If you text REDCROSS to 90999, you will donate $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. It helps people affected by disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires and tornadoes. The $10 is added to your mobile phone bill, so you don’t have to worry about sending cash or using a debit card. They also have developed a series of first aid and disaster preparedness apps for iOS and Android devices.
