Since its start in 2020, our Global Day of Purpose has become the signature annual event sponsored by the MillerKnoll Foundation.

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.
