FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES STATEMENT
Empowered Circle is committed to ensuring that our fundraising activities are accessible and inclusive for all, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to support and participate in our mission equally and with dignity.
Importance of Inclusive Fundraising
Inclusive fundraising ensures that individuals with disabilities can engage with our activities just as fully as anyone else. This is made possible by incorporating accessible design principles, providing alternative formats, and using assistive technologies that accommodate different needs and abilities.
Accessibility Measures for Fundraising
We follow relevant accessibility guidelines (such as WCAG 2.1, Level AA) and have implemented a range of features to ensure accessibility across our fundraising platforms. These include:
-
Compatibility with screen readers and keyboard navigation
-
Clear, easy-to-read text and color contrast
-
Accessible donation forms and event registration pages
-
Flexible communication options for donors and participants
Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content
Certain fundraising initiatives may involve third-party content that does not fully comply with accessibility standards. In such cases, Empowered Circle acknowledges partial compliance and is working to address these issues.
Inclusivity in Fundraising Events
Empowered Circle strives to make all in-person and virtual fundraising events accessible. Physical venues are selected with accessibility in mind (e.g., wheelchair access, accessible restrooms), and we provide accommodations such as sign language interpretation, alternative materials, and accessible seating upon request.
