Primitives by Kathy
Primitives by Kathy is a home décor and gift business founded by CEO Kathy Phillips in 1997. The first primitive candle box was handmade by Phillips. Then, to meet increasing demand, she partnered with Goodwill Services.
“The desire to provide opportunity occupationally to those with disabilities has been a part of who we are ever since,” according to the company’s website.
“True success for Phillips is giving back and remembering the organizations and individuals who supported her in the beginning,” said a previous Power List bio. “She has made giving part of the corporate strategy, creating products for her Benefit Collection that not only look good, but do good.”
