The Foundation's website aims to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our site and ensure that it meets or exceeds accessibility standards.

 

Design Features

​

• Fonts: We use accessible and widely supported fonts such as Helvetica, Helvetica Bold, and Verdana to ensure clear and legible text. These fonts are designed to provide readability across various devices and screen sizes.

• Color Contrast: We have carefully chosen our color scheme (Purple & Gold) to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making content easier to read for individuals with low vision or color blindness.

• Navigation: We’ve designed the website with simple, consistent navigation to help users quickly find the information they need. Keyboard navigation is enabled throughout the site, allowing users to navigate easily without a mouse.

Our website includes several features to enhance accessibility, including:

​

• Text alternatives (alt text) for images, which are read aloud by screen readers.

• Adjustable text size to suit different user preferences.
