The Milliken & Company Charitable Foundation has awarded over $800,000 to 45 organizations in its 2024 community grants program. The foundation, which supports communities where Milliken associates live and work, selected recipients based on four giving pillars and their alignment with Milliken's values.

In addition to community grants focused on nonprofits, the foundation's core programs include an associate gift match initiative, impact gifts to support long-term projects, dependent scholarships for children of full-time associates, and disaster relief.

"Milliken is deeply committed to supporting organizations that enrich our local communities," said Halsey Cook, president and CEO at Milliken & Company and chair of the Milliken & Company Charitable Foundation. "We see community grants as a meaningful way to create a positive impact by harnessing our collective resources for the greater good."

Community grant applications are reviewed annually between November 1 and January 31. The rigorous application review process relies on four giving pillars to determine mission alignment: Inspired Solutions, Together We Strive, Healthy Tomorrow, and Leading With Purpose. A full list of 2024 grant recipients can be found here.
