Do you have any update on when this will be implemented? Many of our members use screen readers, and we can only use Give Lively once it is WCAG compliant, etc.

I'm at a nonprofit working to expand communications access for people who are Deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse. Accessible digital environments are critical to maintaining authentic digital engagement with our constituents and partner organizations. Please prioritize accessibility on Give Lively donation pages for people of all disabilities. This is an untapped market that is often overlooked, and an important element of creating inclusive and equitable services.

Glad to see this in progress! Hope the embeddable widgets are also in consideration to make accessible as well.

Emily Purry
Hello, My name is EMily Purry and I am the founder of RAPID. I am legally blind and we serve people with disabilities. One of my participants was trying to donate today and let me know that your site is not screen reader friendly, or accessible. I would love to be able to assist in helping you become accessible as that is what I do for a living. www.purryco.com Thank you and hope you can become accessible soon.

For those interested: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 defines how to make Web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. Although these guidelines cover a wide range of issues, they are not able to address the needs of people with all types, degrees, and combinations of disability. These guidelines also make Web content more usable by older individuals with changing abilities due to aging and often improve usability for users in general.

Nick Farano: Thanks for sharing this--making our pages accessible is definitely a priority for our company. We're keeping these standards in mind as we build new products, and will make a concentrated effort to update existing pages/products to meet these standards where there are gaps.

Matt Connelly: Thank you! We serve the visually impaired and right now with our new website, we are unable to use Give Lively on our new website because of it due to it not being WCAG compliant. But we love Give Lively!

Nick Farano: Would love to sync up on a call some time if you're free to discuss improvements we can make--feel free email me at matt@givelively.org if you're available!
