Accessibility Statement

We at the Nicholas J. and Pegge Begich Public Service Fund are working to make our site accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with standard guidelines, and have made the site accessible on all pages except the image gallery. 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:

- Used the Accessibility Wizard in Wix 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 main pages of the site are accessible

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depends on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to Facebook. We are unable to ensure the accessibility of Facebook integrations which are part of our site.

Requests, issues and suggestions

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's Executive Director:
