Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

The Jada Bascom Foundation is committed to making our website accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe everyone should have equal access to information about bone marrow donation and our mission to save lives.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continuously work to improve the experience for all users and welcome your feedback on how we can do better.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:

• Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
• Hearing impairments
• Motor impairments
• Cognitive and learning disabilities

What We Are Doing

To help make our website accessible, we work to:

• Use clear, readable text: We use legible fonts, adequate text sizes, and sufficient color contrast
• Provide alternative text: Images include descriptions for visitors using screen readers
• Support keyboard navigation: All interactive elements can be accessed using a keyboard
• Use semantic HTML: Our pages are structured with proper headings and landmarks to help assistive technologies
• Offer light and dark modes: Visitors can choose the display mode that works best for them
• Respect motion preferences: Animations are reduced for visitors who prefer less motion
• Design for mobile devices: Our website is responsive and works on various screen sizes

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may have limitations:

• Some older content or embedded third-party tools may not fully meet accessibility standards
• PDF documents may have varying levels of accessibility
• Interactive maps or data visualizations may present challenges for some assistive technologies

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter any barriers, please let us know so we can provide alternative access to the information.
