and Service Committee, the project empowers family members ages 12 and older to take an active role in philanthropy through board service, volunteerism and grant nominations. By researching, nominating and selecting organizations for funding, family members ensure that Larry and Gail’ s legacy of stewardship and generosity continues for generations to come.
“ Philanthropy is about more than just giving money – it’ s about listening, learning and continuing to show up in ways that matter,” said Kat Miller.“ Through the Miller Legacy Project, we are building on the example set before us and learning how to be stewards of our communities and the resources entrusted to us.”

power of collaboration, innovation and strategic giving. Building bridges begins with laying the first stones, and the stories and data within this report highlight how communitydriven solutions create immediate impact while paving the way for lasting change.
“ We are proud of our efforts and the impact made in 2024, but the work is ongoing,” said Don Stirling, executive director of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation.“ As we move forward, we aspire to meet the evolving needs of our communities and invite others to join us on our philanthropic journey to drive positive change.”
Members of the Miller family recently visited the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point to celebrate a $ 325,000 donation through the Miller Legacy Project, a next generation philanthropy initiative of the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. This multi-generational gift— supported by 21 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren— will support renovations to the infant and toddler area, creating a safe and enriching space for the museum’ s youngest visitors.
“ I’ ve loved visiting the Museum of Natural Curiosity from the time my first child was a baby. Every time I go, I’ m reminded of the power of exploration and discovery, especially for young children. The energy at the museum is inspiring and we saw an opportunity to enhance it even further,” said Alyssa Wardle, a third-generation Miller Family member.
Construction for the Museum is set to begin July 2025 with completion set for December 2026.
