Mariposa Fund is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards to ensure equal access to information and services.

We believe that accessibility is an essential part of providing professional, reliable service to our community.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Mariposa Fund takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of this website:

• Integrating accessibility best practices into the website’s design and development process
• Using clear structure, headings, and readable fonts to improve content comprehension
• Providing sufficient color contrast to support users with visual impairments
• Ensuring keyboard navigation compatibility for interactive elements
• Including descriptive alternative text for meaningful images
• Designing the site to be responsive and usable across devices and screen sizes

Accessibility considerations are included as part of our ongoing website maintenance and improvement efforts.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Mariposa Fund website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Partially conformant means that some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard, but we are actively working to identify and address accessibility barriers.

Additional Accessibility Considerations

While our primary goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also implemented select accessibility practices aligned with higher standards, including:

• Avoiding the use of images of text where possible
• Maintaining consistent navigation across pages
• Ensuring that important content is not conveyed by color alone
