Guidelines
We currently have more than one dozen national or global organizations participating in the Charity Miles Program that have long-term partnerships with United.
We do not accept members in the following categories: individuals; political or fraternal organizations; religious institutions; and public and private schools.
United takes great pride in providing air travel for families, patients, or staff traveling for treatment, research, disaster response, or wish-granting. We encourage you make a difference in the lives of individuals throughout the world by supporting our program members.
Every year United receives numerous requests to join the Mileage Plus Charity Miles Program. Although we would like to be able to assist every worthy charitable organization, the volume of requests far outweighs our ability and resources to be responsive to each one. We also cannot authorize combining different accounts for issuing tickets; or the use of donated miles for fundraising. Further, please note that any donations of miles to the United Mileage Plus Charity Miles Program is not tax-deductible. If you have any questions or would like to submit a proposal for sponsorship, please direct your correspondence to corporatesocialinvestment@united.com.
