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

On the first Tuesday of November each year, MillerKnoll facilities around the world close their doors so our associates can open their hearts and give back to their communities during our Global Day of Purpose.
