Educate yourself about accessibility

You know your existing audience, right? But do you know which audience you might unintentionally be excluding? Learn about what their needs are and how they can be incorporated into the different communication vehicles you use. Inform yourself on how language, reading ability, visual contrast, text size, among many other elements, create barriers to accessing your services.

Evaluate your communications assets

Use an on-line accessibility evaluation tool to check your website. Consider using a social enterprise managed by people with disabilities who are best placed to conduct audits and identify actions to ensure that your digital platforms are inclusive and meet global standards.

Budget to make it happen

The cost of making your website accessible quickly becomes an investment as your organization reaches out to a wider audience. Your organization might qualify for grants or find a keen corporate sponsor willing to support your initiative for inclusivity. A fundraising campaign can be created around your accessibility project that not only showcases your organizational values but offers tangible outcomes for donors to see.

Inaccessible design causes significant barriers for individuals living with disabilities or neurodiversity every time they visit a web page or open an email. The good news is that so much that can be done to make your communications and web site more accessible.

Build better relationships with your donors and raise more for your cause. Learn how you can better group donors to engage in a more personalized way.
