George Vega Jr Foundation Accessibility Statement
Effective date: 03/06/2026
Our commitment George Vega Jr Foundation is committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. We strive to follow best practices and standards to provide an inclusive online experience.
Standards and guidelines We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and follow accessibility best practices for structure, navigation, color contrast, keyboard accessibility, and assistive technology compatibility.
What we’ve done so far
-
Implemented semantic HTML, clear heading structure, and descriptive link text.
-
Ensured keyboard navigation for primary menus and key interactive elements.
-
Provided meaningful alt text for images where appropriate and captions or transcripts for audio/video when available.
-
Used color contrast that meets WCAG AA minimums for text and interactive elements.
-
Built forms with accessible labels, error identification, and logical tab order.
-
Integrated accessible skip links and ARIA landmarks where necessary.
-
Tested the site with common screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver) and browser/OS combinations.
-
Minimized reliance on time-limited interactions and provided controls where time limits exist.
Known limitations Despite our efforts, some content or third-party widgets (embedded maps, certain legacy PDFs, or external donation/payment forms) may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We are actively working to update or replace these components. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please tell us the specific page, feature, and the assistive technology you use so we can prioritize fixes.
Assistive features and alternatives If you need content in an alternative format (plain text, large print, audio, accessible PDF, or translated), we will provide it upon request whenever feasible.
Reporting accessibility problems You can report accessibility issues or request alternative formats by contacting us:
-
Phone: 352-617-5889
-
Mail: 4750 SW 141st Ln, Ocala Fl, 34473
When reporting, please include:
-
The web page or URL where the issue occurred
-
A description of the issue
-
The assistive technology and browser you were using (if any)
-
Your contact information (so we can follow up)
Response and remediation We aim to acknowledge all accessibility reports within 2 business days and to provide a timeline for resolution or a workaround within 10 business days, depending on complexity.
Enforcement and legal rights If you are a U.S. resident and your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may file a complaint with relevant enforcement agencies (for example, your state civil rights agency or the U.S. Department of Justice). International users may contact their local data protection or accessibility authority.
Ongoing work Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review content, update our site, train staff, and test new features to improve accessibility.
Third-party content Some content may be provided by third parties (payment processors, embedded services, social media plugins). We expect these vendors to meet accessibility standards and will work with them to resolve issues. Where third-party content cannot be made accessible, we will offer alternative methods to complete the same task.
Technical specifications This site uses technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and ARIA. Accessibility is tested across major browsers and screen readers; however, configuration and updates to assistive technologies can affect compatibility.
Contact and feedback We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our site. Please contact us via the channels above. If you request an alternative format, please indicate your preferred format and provide sufficient details to help us respond.
