The authorities of the countries in the European Union require Dominican nationals to give evidence of sufficient funds or a steady employment as one of the conditions for a tourist visa since there must be a high probability of return to the DR upon expiration of the duration of the visa. To comply with these conditions makes a return to the DR more likely although it may never be excluded.

Never heard of such requirements.
An invitation plus definitely a return ticket (not cash!) and an insurance for that time should be enough, or at least it is, whenever I travel with my dominican girlfriend. Of course, on top of this they can require whatever they feel like.
This could be a work contract, title from a vehicle, land property, business etc. , mostly depending to the persons appearance, I guess.

Explain to yourself why your friend could need that money instead of a ticket.
