Our Commitment

Accessible to Every
Family We Serve

KIDS Future Fund believes that every child deserves a financial future β€” and every family deserves equal access to the tools and information that make that possible. Accessibility is not an afterthought. It is a core part of our mission.

We are actively working to ensure that our website meets or exceeds the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard β€” the internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility.

πŸ‘οΈ
Perceivable

Information and UI components are presented in ways users can perceive β€” including via screen readers and alternative formats.

⌨️
Operable

All interface components and navigation are operable via keyboard, without requiring mouse-only interactions.

πŸ’¬
Understandable

Content is written in plain language. Navigation is predictable and consistent across all pages of the site.

πŸ”§
Robust

Content is built to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of assistive technologies, now and as they evolve.

WCAG 2.1 Conformance Target

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define three levels of conformance. Our current target and ongoing goal is Level AA compliance across all pages of kidsfuturefund.org.

Level A Minimum accessibility β€” basic barriers removed
Level AA Standard compliance β€” our target for all pages
Level AAA Enhanced compliance β€” aspiration for key pages
βœ… Current Target: WCAG 2.1 Level AA across all pages
What We've Built In

Accessibility Features
Across Our Website

The following features are designed into our website to support users with a range of disabilities and assistive technology needs.

🏷️
Semantic HTML Structure

Pages use proper heading hierarchy (H1–H4), landmark regions, and semantic HTML elements so screen readers can navigate content logically and predictably.

πŸ–ΌοΈ
Image Alternative Text

All meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked with empty alt attributes so screen readers skip them appropriately.

🎨
Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements are designed to meet or exceed a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against their backgrounds β€” meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast requirements.

⌨️
Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements β€” links, buttons, accordion menus, and forms β€” are fully accessible via keyboard navigation without requiring a mouse or touch screen.

πŸ”
Focus Indicators

Visible focus outlines are maintained on all interactive elements so keyboard users can clearly see which element is currently active on the page.

πŸ“±
Responsive Design

The site is fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile β€” ensuring accessibility is maintained regardless of screen size or device type.

πŸ”€
Resizable Text

Text can be resized up to 200% using browser zoom controls without loss of content or functionality β€” supporting users with low vision.

πŸ“‹
Form Labels & Error Messages

All form fields are associated with descriptive labels. Error messages are clear, specific, and programmatically linked to the relevant input field.

πŸ”—
Descriptive Link Text

Links use descriptive text that makes sense out of context β€” avoiding vague phrases like "click here" so screen reader users understand each link's destination.

Honest Disclosure

Known Limitations &
Areas of Ongoing Work

We are committed to honest disclosure. The following areas have known accessibility limitations that we are actively working to improve. If any of these affect your ability to use our site, please contact us and we will provide the information in an alternative format.
