ABOUT WALK WITH AIF CAMPAIGN
 
 
 
WALK TOGETHER, SIDE BY SIDE WITH OUR COMMUNITY
 
For AIF's beneficiaries, walking is a way of life—and an opportunity to chase their dreams. This November, we invite you to walk in solidarity with AIF changemakers in our walkathon—a celebration of purpose, community, and impact. Every mile you walk brings our beneficiaries closer to their milestones and empowers women, children, and youth in India to transform their lives and build brighter futures.
 
 
 
Whether you’re walking solo or gathering friends for a team challenge, walking outdoors or in a mall, every step you take helps advance AIF’s mission to generate long-lasting change in education, livelihoods, and public health in India. So lace up, step up, and launch a fundraiser for change. Invite your crew to join you or pledge funds for your miles—and remember, the more you walk, the greater the chances to unlock matching donations that double your impact!
 
 
 
 
Join us this fall to connect with community, create opportunity, and inspire impact that travels far beyond the finish line. Let’s walk together to transform lives—one step, one story, and one community at a time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.

The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

You can track your workouts by setting up your devices (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Health Connect By Android, Misfit, Strava), or download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?
