Hey there @Allisonsmom ! I'll be glad to provide some information on this. 
While we do not have a list of charities that may use your Fitbit towards their programs, I'd recommend to check personally with them, to see if your steps can help towards their causes. 
On a different note, you can get benefits from linking your account to certain pages that give our rewards; I'd recommend the Balance Rewards page (here), EveryMove (here), Earndit (here) and many more that you can find on our Apps page here.
Happy Holidays!

Hello again @jolieivy ! I wanted to add some comments to my previous response Unless a particular Charity or NGO that has a "steps for charity" program have a page created at the Fitbit Portal; your steps would count towards their causes; but you'll need to contact them to add you to their specific program.
@Allisonsmom Fitbit can be linked to a charity or NGO Program through an API, which is a tool for developers to register an App they've created towards their particular interest. The Charity would need to contact Fitbit to request the information to get started, the Customer Support team (link here) takes care of this.

We have teams and have walked with our Fitbits for Charity - I think - over 7,000 miles or so ! Let me check - I bike for charity because of the GPS but they also have indoor settings too !
