About CFOB

Founded in 1973 by Beulah Providence and a group of Caribbean immigrant women, The Caribbean Foundation of Boston (CFOB) has served the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan communities for over 50 years. Established with a "neighbor helping neighbor" philosophy, CFOB has grown from a small grassroots effort into a trusted community resource, providing compassionate care, workforce development, and vital support services to hundreds of local residents each month.

CFOB's purpose is to prevent unnecessary institutionalization of seniors and individuals with disabilities by helping them remain in their homes with dignity and independence. The organization also provides meaningful employment opportunities and workforce training for community members.

Impact & Programs

  • Urban Community Homemaking Program - Founded in 1973 by a group of women committed to supporting their community, CFOB provides personal care, home health aide, household management, and childcare services to more than 250 disabled, frail, and elderly residents monthly. Our goal is to prevent unnecessary institutionalization while supporting families with caregiving.
  • Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Testimonial of Appreciation Banquet - A 27-year tradition honoring individuals who advance independence for frail and homebound residents while raising critical funds to support CFOB's mission.

CFOB has a staff of nine, employs 72 homemakers, and has an annual operating budget of approximately $2.5 million. CFOB is overseen by a small Board of Directors comprised of community and business leaders. CFOB's long-serving Director of Finance will retire from his role upon the hire of the CFO.
