Something our Founder Donna has always been passionate about is giving back. She knew that when she started Miik, it had to be about more than just sustainable, buttery soft clothes — for her it had to mean something more. She wanted to build a business that would help to uplift organizations and communities. And with that our ethos began: Look good. Do good. Feel good. We are so excited to be making this dream a reality, one step at a time. Our desire is that as we continue to grow, we are also able to continually contribute to our society in meaningful ways, that make a big impact.
Introducing the Miik Foundation
The Miik Foundation was founded in 2022 by Miik Founder Donna and her husband Michael to continue to support important causes close to our hearts. Although Miik has always given back to the community in a multitude of ways, Donna and Michael started the Miik Foundation to allow us to help as many causes as possible.
With your help, the Miik Foundation continues to make a difference.
Ongoing Partnerships
Plan Canada
We've sent over 3000 young women in developing countries to school (and that's only since 2020!) through Plan Canada's Gifts of Hope, and continue to grow this number with every purchase.
Indspire
After cumulatively donating $20,000 to Indspire to support Indigenous education, the Miik Foundation now donates $10,000 per year, funding 3 separate $3000 awards for Indigenous women, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals who are seeking financial aid towards their post-secondary education.
Dress for Success
We donate Miik clothing to Dress for Success for equipping financially-vulnerable women with professional attire, to help them achieve economic independence.
Sistering
We donate Miik clothing to Sistering, who provide support to homeless and at-risk women and trans people.
Shift (previously Carbon Out)
Since 2020, Miik customers have collectively offset over 1.1 MILLION pounds of carbon emissions through their Miik purchases with Carbon Checkout donations. Carbon Checkout contributions are invested directly into renewable energy, reforestation and carbon capture projects to offset the carbon impact of your purchase. To donate, add an offset donation to your cart before you checkout!
