What Charity Footprints is

Charity Footprints connects fitness activity with fundraising campaigns for nonprofits. A charity can create a walkathon by choosing a distance, date, participation fee, and fundraising message; the company says setup can take less than 10 minutes. Participants receive fundraising pages to seek donations and recruit donors. Campaign tools include registration, donor management, and custom-designed campaigns, with options for individual and team pages. Fitness features include workout maps, analytics, and calorie-burn counts, along with progress feeds, social workout sharing, leaderboards, and team pages showing participant details. Tracking instructions list Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Google Fit, Misfit, and Strava. Participants can also record some workouts manually or upload them through the website.
