Frequently Asked Questions
All the answers you’re looking for
Public-sector organisations or organisations 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 organisations 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 organisation’s digital touchpoints.
Digital accessibility for non-profits strengthens community engagement by reducing the barriers that users may encounter when accessing an organisation’s digital touchpoints.
Making content and services easier to access allows people who might otherwise encounter digital barriers to participate more actively in the organisation’s activities.
This can create a positive cycle of communication, participation and engagement, helping volunteers, beneficiaries, supporters, donors and other stakeholders interact with the organisation more independently and effectively.
Digital accessibility is closely connected to social responsibility because it helps organisations 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 organisations because relationships with volunteers, beneficiaries, donors and communities are built on clear, transparent and accessible communication.
Accessible digital touchpoints therefore reinforce the organisation’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 organisations 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 organisations 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 recognised accessibility criteria and applicable requirements.
We can then support organisations 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 organisation’s specific needs.
Non-profit and third-sector organisations 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 organisations 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 organisation.
