Woodlands United Foundation
Effective Date: [Insert Date]

​

Woodlands United Foundation (“we,” “our,” or “the Foundation”) is committed to ensuring that our programs, services, website, and events are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to create an inclusive environment where all community members, volunteers, and supporters can fully participate in our mission of conservation, education, and outdoor engagement.

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to follow best practices for accessibility in both digital and physical spaces. Our goals include:

  • Designing our website to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards

  • Providing accessible communication methods for individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or mobility needs

  • Ensuring events, volunteer opportunities, and educational programs are held in spaces that accommodate people of all abilities

  • Continuously improving accessibility as technology, standards, and community needs evolve

2. Website Accessibility

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 - select relevant option] guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of [A / AA / AAA - select relevant option]. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also [remove irrelevant information]:

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site 

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

To support a more accessible online experience, we:

  • Use clear headings, text alternatives for images, and proper HTML structure

  • Provide keyboard navigation support

  • Maintain readable color contrast

  • Design content that works on screen readers and assistive technologies

  • Monitor new content to maintain accessibility standards

If you encounter a digital barrier, please let us know so we can correct it promptly.

3. Program & Event Accessibility

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to [enter relevant third-party name]. The following pages are affected by this: [list the URLs of the pages]. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.

We work to ensure our events, educational programs, and volunteer activities are welcoming and accessible. Depending on the activity, we may offer:

  • Accessible pathways or alternative access routes

  • Reserved seating areas

  • Assistance from staff or volunteers upon request

  • Accessible printed or digital materials

  • Accommodations for participants with mobility, hearing, vision, or sensory needs

Because outdoor environments vary, we encourage participants to reach out before events so we can plan the best possible accommodations.

4. Reasonable Accommodations

The Foundation will make reasonable modifications and accommodations in policies, communication methods, and activities upon request, unless such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of a program or create an undue burden.

Examples of accommodations may include:

  • Providing materials in large-print or digital formats

  • Offering alternative communication options

  • Adjusting volunteer tasks based on ability

  • Allowing support persons or service animals

5. Feedback & Contact Information
