Accessibility statement

What we designed for

• One main heading per page and a heading order that does not skip for decoration.
• A skip link to the content, visible when it receives keyboard focus.
• Visible keyboard focus, and a menu button with an accessible name.
• Form labels tied to their fields, and an on-page confirmation you can read without a color cue alone.
• Text colors chosen for contrast on the cream background. The gold accent is used for large text and buttons with dark lettering, not for small gray type.
• No information that exists only in an image. The logo is marked as decorative because the name is next to it as text.
• Respect for the reduced-motion setting on animated scrolling.

Known limits

We do not publish video on this version of the site, so captions are not yet in use. If we add video, it will be captioned or it will not be the only way to get the information. Third-party tools we might add later, such as an analytics script, will be reviewed before they ship. If the form cannot be sent, the address and the inbox are written on the page so you can still reach us.

EIN 47-4016484. This statement is a description of our effort, not a warranty that every page is free of barriers. If you find one, we want the report.
