The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Dress for Success Denver has four cornerstone programs that empower and transform women’s lives. Our programs help them find positions that offer a livable wage and a career path; programs that help them keep their jobs, succeed in both life and work and provide a road map for giving back to their communities. Although best known for providing professional apparel, our personal and professional development resources are crucial components to employment retention and sustained self-sufficiency. We rely on the contributions of individuals, corporations, foundation and government grants, and fundraising events. Funding is the most vital need of the mission.
