Frequently Asked Questions
Is my nonprofits website required to be ADA compliant?
Yes. Under ADA Title III, nonprofits websites that serve the public are considered places of public accommodation and must be accessible to people with disabilities. Courts have consistently ruled that websites fall under ADA requirements.
What WCAG level should nonprofits websites target?
WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the standard referenced by most courts and regulatory bodies for nonprofits website accessibility. This covers criteria like text contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, and form labels.
What happens if my nonprofits website isn't accessible?
Non-compliant nonprofits websites risk demand letters, lawsuits (averaging $50,000-$150,000 in settlements), DOJ investigations, and loss of customers who cannot use the site. Over 5,100 ADA website lawsuits were filed in 2025 alone.
