As a company, we care about being a positive force in the communities where we live and where we do business, both in our home state of Minnesota and around the world. We concentrate our resources, energy, and time on giving to these communities with a special focus on causes related to children, families, and education. We also direct a portion of our philanthropy to the Native American community in recognition of the influence that Native American design and culture has had on our company..

We continually look for opportunities to support children, women, families, and schools around the world as well. Here are a couple examples:

BACK TO SCHOOL GIVE BACK

Each year we host a Back to School Give Back to benefit DonorsChoose, a nonprofit organization that enables individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Our employees participate in selecting which classroom projects our donations support.

Over the years, both the Miller family and Minnetonka have contributed financially toward Native causes. We continue to actively support a number of Native organizations doing important work in Minnesota and beyond, including organizations such as:
