Airline Miles Gifts
The work of the Heightened Hearts Foundation takes our organization around the world, and your frequent flyer miles can help us “go the distance” to help those in need. Many people let their free miles go to waste, but now you can use your unused miles to help the staff of the Heightened Hearts Foundation reach out to needy people all over the globe. Many airline partners, including those listed below, afford their Loyalty Program members the option of donating their accrued miles to assist our staff and volunteers reach critical areas that desperately need our assistance.
