Accessibility statement template — to be completed by you with your actual remediation actions
Make donation forms, event registrations, volunteer sign-ups, program information, and impact reports accessible to everyone — including the people you exist to serve.
Built to support WCAG 2.2 AA, AODA, ADA & EAA requirements. AccessPro adds user-facing accessibility features — it does not replace the source-code remediation required for full WCAG conformance.
A donor who cannot complete your donation form cannot donate. A volunteer who cannot navigate your sign-up page cannot help. A beneficiary who cannot read your program listings cannot access your services. AccessPro gives every visitor the controls to adjust your site to work for them — contrast, font size, text-to-speech, image descriptions — so more people can do what they came to do.
Your mission statement is public. If the website that carries it cannot be used by people with disabilities, that contradiction is visible too. Accessibility is not a technical add-on for a values-driven organization — it is part of living what you publish.
27% of Canadians have a disability. If your digital presence excludes them, your mission reaches fewer people than it should. An accessible website is not just a compliance requirement — it is the difference between an organization that says it is inclusive and one that actually is.
For a nonprofit, those numbers are not abstract. They describe the donors who cannot finish giving, the volunteers who turn away before completing a sign-up, and the people your programs exist to reach who cannot access information about them. Nonprofits serving seniors, newcomers, people living with illness, or communities experiencing poverty tend to serve populations with elevated rates of disability. A website that presents barriers to those populations is working against the organization at the point where impact should be happening. AccessPro addresses those barriers at the user-facing layer from the day it is installed. Structural code issues require developer remediation alongside the toolbar — and our partner team can help with that work when the budget and timing are right.
AODA applies to nonprofit and charitable organizations in Ontario as it does to private sector businesses. Organizations with 50 or more employees must ensure their public-facing websites meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Those with 20 or more employees must file an accessibility compliance report by December 31, 2026. Smaller organizations are not required to meet the WCAG website standard under AODA, but the Customer Service Standard — which requires accessible service delivery including through digital channels — applies to all Ontario nonprofits regardless of size.
For nonprofits that operate under federal jurisdiction or receive federal funding, Accessibility Standards Canada and the Accessible Canada Act set out additional requirements toward a barrier-free Canada by 2040. Organizations with federal funding relationships are increasingly expected to demonstrate accessibility practices as part of their reporting and accountability obligations. Funders and accreditation bodies are also beginning to ask about digital accessibility as part of their review criteria.
AccessPro adds user-facing controls to your public-facing website — program pages, donation forms, event listings, volunteer sign-ups, blog posts, and resource libraries. It does not extend into donor management systems, CRM platforms such as Salesforce Nonprofit or Blackbaud, or internal staff portals. Those systems carry their own accessibility requirements that need to be addressed within each platform. For a plain-language explanation of what a widget addresses and what still requires developer work, our overlay guide covers both sides.
Our organization has a small team and a tight budget. Is AccessPro affordable?
Yes. AccessPro has a free plan with no time limit that includes AI image descriptions and 25+ accessibility features. There is no upfront commitment. Paid plans start at $59.99 per year for organizations with higher traffic. See our pricing page for the full breakdown, or get in touch if you have questions about which plan fits your organization.
Does AODA apply to our nonprofit even if we are small?
Partly. AODA's Customer Service Standard applies to all Ontario nonprofits regardless of employee count — you are required to provide accessible service through all channels, including digital ones. The website-specific WCAG requirement applies to nonprofits with 50 or more employees. The compliance reporting obligation applies to organizations with 20 or more employees, with the next deadline December 31, 2026.
We serve people with disabilities directly. Does that change our obligations?
Not legally — the same AODA rules apply. But the stakes are different. If your organization serves people with visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, or mobility limitations, and your website cannot be used with assistive technology, you are excluding the people your mission is built around. Accessibility here is not compliance first. It is fidelity to the work.
Can AccessPro help with our donation forms and event sign-ups?
AccessPro adds user-facing controls — contrast, font size, text-to-speech — to all pages on your site, including pages with forms. What it cannot do is fix structural form accessibility issues such as unlabeled fields or missing keyboard navigation in the form code itself. Those require developer remediation. The toolbar helps immediately. Code-level fixes need separate attention.
Will accessibility help us with grant applications or funder requirements?
Increasingly, yes. Some funders and accreditation bodies are beginning to include digital accessibility in their criteria. An accessible website and a published accessibility statement demonstrate that your organization takes inclusion seriously in practice, not just in its mission language. It is a reasonable thing to document and report on.
