Nonprofits · WCAG 2.2 AA · Section 508
ADA and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance for mission-driven organizations. As a design and development studio, we audit, fix the actual code, and give you the documentation funders and boards expect. No overlays.
A written scope and quote before any work begins. Prefer to talk? Book a 30-minute call.
For a nonprofit, an inaccessible website isn’t just a legal risk. It’s a funding risk: take federal money and you fall under Section 504 and often Section 508, so inaccessible application, program, and donation flows can put grant eligibility itself in question. Not sure where your site stands? Start with is my website ADA compliant.
Not a one-click scan. It’s a systematic pass across what breaks for real users, with your donation and application forms tested as real journeys rather than sampled pages.
Scanners catch the obvious misses; a person catches the rest. We test the real site, not a sample.
Donation flows, event registration, volunteer sign-ups, and grant portals tested as real tasks.
Every menu, field, and control works without a mouse, with a visible focus outline and no traps.
We drive the site with VoiceOver and NVDA, so key pages read as sensible steps, not noise.
Text, buttons, and states checked against AA contrast, so calls to action stay readable.
Headings, landmarks, alt text, and ARIA done right, so a screen reader can move through the page.
PDFs checked too, then every issue ranked by severity and tied to the WCAG criterion it fails.
We test against the standard funders and Section 508 point to, in the version your grant names.
Not sure how your donation forms hold up? Send us the address and we will scope an audit.
Most accessibility offers end at a PDF of problems and an invoice: one more thing a lean nonprofit team has no developer hours to action. We design and build, so we remediate what we find (corrected markup and ARIA, keyboard and screen-reader support, contrast and form fixes) and re-test to conformance. When a funder or grant officer wants proof, we produce a VPAT / ACR backed by a real audit, not a checkbox. Tiers and pricing live on the audit and remediation packages and pricing page, and our guide to audit costs and the $5,000 Disabled Access Credit covers what to budget.
Redesigning rather than repairing? Accessibility is far cheaper to build in than to bolt on later. If you’re planning a new site, we bake WCAG 2.2 AA in from the first wireframe. See our nonprofit web design work.

Read the full review on GoogleLet’s make your site accessible, document it, and give your board and funders something real to point to.
Yes. The ADA applies to organizations that serve the public, and a nonprofit is not exempt because of its tax status or mission. If people use your website to donate, register, apply, or get services, that site has to be usable by people with disabilities. Nonprofits that receive federal funding also fall under Section 504 and often Section 508, a firmer bar than a general ADA reading.
Federal funding brings in Section 504 and, for many programs, Section 508. In practice that means meeting WCAG at the AA level and being able to show it. The stakes are higher too: an inaccessible application portal or program page is not just a complaint risk, it can raise questions about whether you are meeting the terms of the funding itself. We build and document to whatever standard your grant or contract names.
Yes, as an add-on. A VPAT, delivered as a completed Accessibility Conformance Report, is the document a funder or grant officer can put in the file as evidence of where your site stands. We produce it off an audit that genuinely tested the site, so it reflects the real state of your pages rather than a checkbox.
No. The pop-up widgets that promise instant compliance do not deliver it, and sites that install them increasingly end up named in complaints. Real accessibility lives in the markup, the structure, and the content, so that is where we work. For a nonprofit watching every dollar, a recurring fee for a widget that does not fix the underlying problem is the worst of both worlds.
Start with the audit. It gives you a real number instead of a guess and shows which fixes matter most, so a small budget goes to the highest-stakes flows first, usually your donation and application forms. From there you can phase the rest across grant cycles.
