Support Someone's Ticket
to a New Beginning
ACTION NEEDED: 110 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, and climate disasters – from Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan – making the need for our work and the support of caring, generous people like you more important than ever.
Right now, families remain trapped in life-threatening situations despite receiving approval to travel to a safe destination only because the cost of airfare is out of reach. Miles4Migrants removes this barrier by using donated cash and frequent flyer points & miles to book flights and help families seeking refuge reach their destination.
We can help the most vulnerable escape danger and persecution, reunite with loved ones, and rebuild their lives, but we can’t do it without you. Give now and help us fly over 1,000 passengers from danger to safety in the year ahead.

FAQs
How does Miles4Migrants identify refugees, asylees, and asylum-seekers to support?
Miles4Migrants fosters relationships with other nonprofits that are working ‘on the ground’ to serve refugees and asylum-seekers directly. Our nonprofit partners, both across the world and within the United States, submit requests for flight assistance to Miles4Migrants. We do not have the capacity to vet flight recipients’ finances to ensure financial need, nor do we specialize in the administrative and legal work required to ensure each flight recipient is authorized to enter their resettlement country. This is where our nonprofit partners come in – each partner is responsible for vetting flight recipients to ensure they have the necessary legal approval and documents to travel to (or, in the case of those released at the US-Mexico border or from immigration detention and legally seeking asylum in the United States, within) their resettlement country. We do not accept flight requests submitted directly from individuals without a nonprofit partner acting as an intermediary. A list of our nonprofit partners is included on ourNGO partner page.
What type of frequent flyer miles and credit card points does Miles4Migrants accept?
We accept points and miles from many major loyalty programs, airline, and credit card programs. Miles4Migrants partners directly with the following loyalty programs so you can transfer your miles directly into Miles4Migrants pooled accounts:
- United Airlines MileagePlus
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
- JetBlue TrueBlue
- Air France – KLM Flying Blue
Other commonly donated miles/points:
- Southwest Rapid Rewards
- Delta SkyMiles
Lufthansa Miles and More - American Express Membership Rewards
- Chase Ultimate Rewards
- Capital One Miles
- Citi ThankYou Points
If I don't have enough miles or points, can I donate money?
Yes! Cash donations are a big help in addition to miles.
While frequent flyer miles cover most airfare expenses, cash is needed for each ticket to cover taxes, departure and arrival fees, and fuel surcharges. While our unique model allows supporters to donate miles, points, and vouchers, we use cash to pay taxes, fees, and to keep our doors open. From paying our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to reunite families, to covering administrative costs and ensuring our campaigns reach those who can help – every dollar you donate has a direct impact.
Currently we are behind, very behind. We need your help to get caught up!
