Frequently Asked Questions
All the answers you’re looking for
Public-sector organizations or organizations performing certain public functions may be subject to specific accessibility requirements. Private non-profits may also fall within the scope of applicable accessibility legislation when they provide products or services covered by the relevant European or national framework, including the European Accessibility Act where applicable.
Accessibility may also be included among the requirements or evaluation criteria for public funding, grants, procurement procedures and partnerships with public bodies.
For these reasons, digital accessibility for non-profits is valuable not only from a compliance perspective but also as a good practice for inclusion, transparency and equal access to
Yes. The training okACCEDO provides for members and volunteers of non-profit organizations is designed to build practical knowledge of digital accessibility.
Through dedicated courses and training sessions, participants gain a comprehensive overview of accessibility principles and learn how accessibility can affect the user experience across the organization’s digital touchpoints.
Digital accessibility for non-profits strengthens community engagement by reducing the barriers that users may encounter when accessing an organization’s digital touchpoints.
Making content and services easier to access allows people who might otherwise encounter digital barriers to participate more actively in the organization’s activities.
This can create a positive cycle of communication, participation and engagement, helping volunteers, beneficiaries, supporters, donors and other stakeholders interact with the organization more independently and effectively.
Digital accessibility is closely connected to social responsibility because it helps organizations put principles such as equal opportunities, inclusion and access to information into practice.
Removing online communication barriers enables a wider range of people to access information and digital services independently.
Accessibility is particularly relevant for third-sector organizations because relationships with volunteers, beneficiaries, donors and communities are built on clear, transparent and accessible communication.
Accessible digital touchpoints therefore reinforce the organization’s commitment to inclusion while helping to strengthen trust with its community.
Yes. Digital accessibility may be included as an inclusion, social-impact or service-quality criterion in certain grants, funding programmes, public-sector initiatives and digital transformation projects.
The specific requirements vary between programmes, countries and funding bodies, so organizations should always check the criteria applicable to each individual initiative.
Accessibility can also contribute to the social dimension of ESG strategies by supporting inclusion, equal access and the quality of services provided to different communities.
okACCEDO provides non-profit organizations with a comprehensive range of services designed to improve digital accessibility and reduce barriers to accessing online information and services.
The process can begin with an Accessibility Analysis, during which we assess the current status of a website or other digital touchpoint against recognized accessibility criteria and applicable requirements.
We can then support organizations in defining remediation activities and preparing or publishing the Accessibility Statement required for their specific context.
okACCEDO has also developed two proprietary solutions: okDashboard, a platform for identifying accessibility issues, accessing audits and statements, assessing compliance levels and managing digital accessibility attributes, and okWidget, a proprietary solution designed to automatically address around 70% of the most common accessibility issues that users may experience while navigating a website.
These tools can be combined with consulting, training and tailored accessibility projects according to the organization’s specific needs.
Non-profit and third-sector organizations should consider digital accessibility for several reasons.
First, accessible digital touchpoints help reduce exclusion and make information and services easier to access for people who might otherwise face barriers.
Accessibility can also improve important user journeys such as donations, registrations, membership applications and requests for information. The easier and more accessible these processes are, the more likely users are to complete them successfully.
Some organizations may also fall within the scope of mandatory accessibility requirements depending on their activities, legal status and the services they provide.
Finally, digital accessibility for non-profits can be a meaningful indicator of responsibility, trust and transparency towards volunteers, beneficiaries, donors, supporters and every other stakeholder involved in the organization.
