Increasing engagement, giving, and impact
The MillerKnoll Foundation empowers our people to contribute to their communities by providing opportunities for engagement and giving with a focus on creating lasting impact.

On the first Tuesday of every November, we close our facilities around the world to encourage associates to give back to their communities by volunteering or raising money for causes that are important to them.
Giving
We’re nurturing a shared spirit of giving that encourages everyone at MillerKnoll to be a changemaker.
