ALL CLIENTS RECEIVE A SUIT AND PROFESSIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR THEIR INTERVIEW AND ADDITIONAL CAREER WARDROBE ITEMS WHEN THEY BECOME EMPLOYED.

THE PWG ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES AT EACH STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE GROUPS, NEW, CHARTER, AND ALUMNAE. THE PWG MEMBERS MEET AT DFSH AS MANY AS SIX TIMES A MONTH TO LEARN FROM EXPERT SPEAKERS AS THEY CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. FOR WOMEN STRUGGLING TO LAND A JOB, DFSH OFFERS PRE-EMPLOYMENT SOFT-SKILLS TRAINING. DFSH ALSO OFFERS SPECIALIZED VETERAN SUITING, AND SERVICE DAYS FOR WOMEN TRANSITIONING INTO THE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
