Who We Are
Give A Mile is a group of dedicated volunteers who believe strongly in the power of visits from loved ones for people in palliative or critical condition. Our Inspiration: Founder Kevin Crowe experienced this power first-hand during the passing of his good friend Ryan who relished such visits. Kevin learned that Kulacauses.com said over 10 trillion air miles went unused in 2011 alone, and Give A Mile was born. We continue to receive inspiration from our flight recipients and their follow-up stories. HERE is one featured in our Blog section.
Our model is:
100% of your donations go to flights of compassion and associated travel fees (taxes, transfers); Give A Mile operating costs are fundraised for separately.
Total transparency – we post Give A Mile financial records on our site.
Make it easy to donate Aeroplan, other loyalty miles, and more through Give A Mile site.
How does the transaction process work?
Give A Mile connects with people who are dealing with a palliative ill person or critical illness through its partnership, via people submitting their profile form to us and via outreach in our communities. The person that needs to travel to see palliative/seriously ill friends or family, creates a profile form and describes their story, and where they need to go. Give A Mile then reviews this form by its flight review team. If approved Give A Mile posts this story for donors to donate loyalty travel miles to help those in need. There is also a general miles pool which comes from people and corporate donations. For the pooled miles, Give A Mile will do its best to help everyone in need by donating miles to the stories where timing is the most critical.
