Miles4Migrants is proud to be the Charity Partner for this event. Learn more about Miles4Migrants mission and how to donate, below.
Together, we can transform miles into a life-changing force for good.
Miles4Migrants uses frequent flyer miles, credit card points, and cash to help people impacted by war, persecution, or disaster start a new beginning in a new home. We partner with other nonprofits to identify refugees, asylees, asylum-seekers, and their immediate family members who have legal approval to travel but cannot afford airfare.
How It Works

We accept donations from a variety of loyalty and rewards programs. We’re currently in need of miles from AirCanada/Aeroplan, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Air France/ KLM/Flying Blue, and JetBlue. A minimum donation of 1000 miles is required.

3. Your Donation Flies Someone to a New Home
Miles4Migrants works with nonprofit partners to match individuals and families with your donated miles and fly them to a new home.
Frequently Asked Questions

The minimum pledge amounts reflect airline programs' lowest single passenger award fare that Miles4Migrants can book for a refugee, asylum seeker, or asylee.
While our primary purpose is to use airline miles to book flights, these award flights often incur additional taxes/fees. Cash donations help us to cover those extra costs!
