Programs
The Reimagine Your Career Program is a series of virtual career and professional development workshops to assist individuals as they attempt to return to the workforce. Reimagine Your Career Program provides workshops consisting of step-by-step instructions of how to conduct a job search, prepare a resume that makes it past ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), and how to master any interview situation, negotitate a fair salary, develop a growth mindset and improve their soft skills. Our philosophy is to teach individuals to fish rather than giving them a fish so that they can use the skills gained from participating in the workshops over the life of their career.
$25,408 spent$148,137 earned by the program20% of program spendingThe TFS Career Closet Program specializes in filling the need (and expense) for business clothing that women and men need to make a positive first impression on a prospective employer. The TFS Career Closets continues to be an essential resource for job seekers, and nonprofits who work with job seekers, to empower economically disadvantaged individuals toward economic self-sufficiency. This simple but important service helps job seekers realize their potential to reach their professional goals. Because of our partnership with MassHire, TFS is able to offer job seekers two Career Closet locations (i.e.,Malden, Woburn and Cambridge) to obtain free business clothing. TFS utilizes a unique Client choice Model, of enabling job seekers to individually (or with assistance) select clothing that meets their needs, thereby increasing dignity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $30k to $70k (+133%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 4%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Tailored For Success Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $28k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
