Website Accessibilty for Veterans
Effective Date: August 23, 2026
1. OUR COMMITMENT
Beacon For Veterans is committed to providing a website that is accessible and usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities.
We strive to improve the accessibility of our website and digital content and to provide veterans, families, donors, volunteers, partners, and members of the community with equitable access to information about our programs, resources, and services.
2. ACCESSIBILITY EFFERTS
Beacon For Veterans works to improve the accessibility and usability of our website and digital content on an ongoing basis.
Our accessibility efforts may include providing clear navigation and readable text, maintaining appropriate color contrast, adding alternative text for meaningful images when appropriate, supporting keyboard navigation, using descriptive links and headings, and improving compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and will continue to evaluate and improve our website as technology, standards, and user needs evolve.
3. ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS
Beacon For Veterans seeks to follow generally recognized accessibility practices and, where reasonably practicable, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
While we strive to make our website accessible, some content, features, or third-party services may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. We will continue working to identify and address accessibility barriers where reasonably possible.
4. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES
Our website may contain links to, or integrate with, websites, applications, documents, forms, payment processors, maps, videos, or other content provided by third parties.
Beacon For Veterans does not control the accessibility of third-party content or services. However, when reasonably possible, we encourage third-party providers to offer accessible experiences and will consider accessibility when selecting or reviewing services used on our website.
5. ASSISTANCE AND ALTERNATIVE FORMATS
If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website or need information in an alternative format, please contact Beacon For Veterans.
We will make reasonable efforts to provide the requested information or assistance in an accessible manner and to address accessibility barriers brought to our attention.
When contacting us, please describe the accessibility issue, the page or content involved, and the type of assistance you need so we can respond as effectively as possible.
6. FEEDBACK AND ACCESSIBILITY CONCERNS
Beacon For Veterans welcomes feedback about the accessibility and usability of our website. Your comments can help us identify barriers and improve the online experience for everyone.
If you encounter an accessibility problem, please let us know what page or feature caused difficulty and, if possible, the type of device, browser, or assistive technology you were using.
We will review accessibility concerns and make reasonable efforts to address identified issues.
7. ACCESSIBILITY STANDARD AND ONGOING IMPROVEMENT
As an aspirational and non-binding benchmark, Beacon For Veterans seeks to align its website, where reasonably practicable, with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
This benchmark reflects our commitment to accessibility and ongoing improvement. It is not a representation or warranty that every page, feature, document, third-party service, or item of content currently conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Beacon For Veterans will continue to review its website and accessibility practices and make reasonable improvements as technology, standards, resources, and user needs evolve.
