Standard
We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Where we fall short of it, we treat that as a defect, not a preference.
Accessibility
A website everyone can read.
A foundation built around access to education has no excuse for a site that is hard to use. This page states our standard and how to hold us to it. Effective 12 August 2026.
What we do
Measures in place.
Keyboard
Every link, button, filter, and dialog can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring throughout.
Structure
Semantic landmarks, a skip link to the main content, one heading hierarchy per page, and labelled form fields.
Contrast
Text and interface colors are checked against AA contrast ratios on both our ivory and forest-green surfaces.
Motion
Animation is subtle by design and is reduced automatically when your system asks for reduced motion.
Non-text content
Images and diagrams carry text alternatives, and the interactive map is fully usable without it.
Known limits
Where we are not there yet.
No material accessibility limitations are currently documented. If you encounter an accessibility issue anywhere on this site, please contact us so it can be addressed.
If something here is unusable for you — a page, a document, a control — tell us at accessibility@jrbrownfoundation.org. Describe what you were trying to do and we will fix it or send you the content in a format that works.
