Accessibility Statement

The Sandy Foundation is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our mission is reachable by all.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide array of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility Features on Our Site

To assist our visitors, we have implemented several features, including but not limited to:

  • Alternative Text: Providing alt-text for meaningful images so screen readers can describe them.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring the site can be navigated using a keyboard alone.

  • Contrast and Color: Maintaining a color contrast ratio that makes text easy to read.

  • Consistent Structure: Using proper heading tags ($H1$, $H2$, etc.) to allow for easy content scanning by assistive technologies.

  • Skip-to-Content: Allowing users to bypass repetitive navigation links.

Current Status

We are aware that accessibility is an ongoing effort. As a non-profit utilizing third-party tools (such as Wix and various payment processors), there may be some limitations beyond our immediate control. We are actively working to identify and fix any barriers to access.
