Accessible Fundraising for Every Supporter

Every supporter should be able to take part in your event. That includes guests who are visually impaired or rely on assistive technology to navigate websites and mobile apps. ClickBid builds accessibility into its platform so online bidding, ticketing, and giving feel simple and approachable for everyone.

Here is an overview of the features that help create a more inclusive donor experience.

Accessibility Features for Visually Impaired Users

Screen Reader Support
ClickBid works smoothly with common screen readers, including NVDA for Windows and built-in Apple accessibility tools. This gives users who rely on audio navigation clear access to buttons, forms, and page structures throughout the event.

Keyboard Friendly Navigation
Many supporters navigate without using a mouse. ClickBid supports full keyboard access, including logical focus order and the ability to move through the platform without getting stuck or losing their place.

Low Vision and Readability Support
Key contrast guidelines are met, text can be resized, and important information is never displayed using color alone. The site also responds well when users zoom in. These elements help guests with low vision stay comfortable and confident while browsing, bidding, and checking out.

Motion and Layout Adjustments
Animations follow a device’s reduced motion settings. Pages continue to function as expected when screen sizes or text sizes change. This helps guests who are sensitive to movement or who need larger text.

Why Accessibility Matters in Fundraising

Many nonprofits serve communities that directly benefit from accessible digital tools, including people with low vision, aging adults, veterans, disabled individuals, and neurodiverse audiences.

When guests can use the platform without barriers, they can register, bid, donate, and engage with confidence. This leads to smoother events, better participation, and stronger connections with supporters.

Accessibility also reflects the heart of a mission. It shows care for every person in the community and removes obstacles that may keep someone from contributing.

Clear Standards and Honest Documentation

ClickBid’s VPAT details how the platform performs across WCAG success criteria. The report outlines areas of strong support and areas that are still being improved. Many Level A and Level AA requirements are fully supported, and several Level AAA requirements are partially supported. Some items, such as status messages, are marked for continued enhancement.

This transparency helps nonprofits feel confident choosing a platform that aligns with their accessibility goals.

A Commitment to Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. ClickBid continues to evaluate and enhance its features as user needs evolve. The VPAT reflects a strong foundation of support for visually impaired and low vision users, along with a commitment to making the fundraising experience better for everyone.
