United begins this mile matching campaign by celebrating Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, encouraging philanthropy and celebrating generosity worldwide.
United’s commitment to its charitable partners are a part of the airline’s continued efforts to break down barriers and promote inclusion, fly towards a more sustainable future, lift up communities in crisis after a disaster and inspire the next generation of leaders. Throughout 2018, more than 73 million MileagePlus miles have been donated to charity partners through United’s Charity Miles. The airline has also demonstrated this commitment to its communities, such as the Critical Need Grants program, which invested a total $8 million to nine different organizations, addressing a critical need identified by local leadership in each of United Airline’s hub market communities – Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Newark/New York and Washington, D.C.
