Accessibility is considered when designing pages, updating content, and throughout the Funding Readiness Assessment™ journey. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website, adhering to available standards and guidelines where practical.

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time project. We are committed to continually improving our platform.

• Accessible forms: Clear labels and instructions for all inputs.
• Funding Readiness Assessment™ usability: Designed to be straightforward and easy to navigate.

3. Funding Readiness Assessment™ Accessibility

Mobile users receive the same experience as desktop users, and clear language is used wherever possible to ensure the process is straightforward for everyone.
