Nonprofits occupy a unique position when it comes to web accessibility. The populations you most often serve — people with disabilities, elderly users, individuals in underserved communities — are the exact users most harmed when websites aren’t built accessibly. If your website isn’t accessible, it isn’t equitable. And if it isn’t equitable, it isn’t living your mission.
That contradiction matters to funders, too. Grant-makers and federal partners are increasingly requiring digital accessibility as part of compliance reporting. An inaccessible website isn’t just a missed donor — it’s a grant deliverable risk.
