Ave Maria University is committed to making this giving website (the “Site”) usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. This statement describes our conformance target, where we currently stand, and how to reach us if you run into a barrier.
1. Our Commitment
We are working to conform this Site to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This is a proactive, ongoing effort — we are not yet claiming full conformance. We are actively auditing the Site and remediating issues as we find them, and we will update this page as that work progresses.
2. Known Limitations
As of the date above, we’re aware of the following limitations. We are actively working to address them:
- Some embedded third-party donation and event registration components may not yet fully meet this standard. We are actively working with our vendors and our own engineering team to address this.
- Some older static pages and legacy campaign pages have not yet been through a full accessibility review and may contain issues with color contrast, keyboard navigation, or missing alternative text for images.
- Some embedded video content (via third-party players) may not include captions or transcripts.
This list reflects what we currently know and is not necessarily complete. If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please let us know using the contact information below.
