Last Updated: May 29, 2026

Purposeful Ventures is committed to ensuring that our website [INSERT WEBSITE URL] (the "Site") is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and functionality on the web, and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our Site.

Purposeful Ventures is incorporated in the State of Oregon and strives to meet or exceed applicable accessibility standards under federal and Oregon law.

1. Our Accessibility Standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Our ongoing efforts include:

• Using clear, consistent navigation and page structure
• Providing text alternatives for non-text content (such as images)
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
• Making all functionality available via keyboard navigation
• Avoiding content that flashes or strobes in ways known to cause seizures
• Writing content in plain, clear language
• Ensuring forms and interactive elements are properly labeled

2. Known Limitations

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across the entire Site, some content may not yet fully conform. We are actively working to identify and remediate accessibility barriers. Areas we are currently reviewing or improving include:

• Legacy content or documents (such as older PDFs) that may not yet be fully accessible
• Third-party embedded content or tools that are outside our direct control
• Certain multimedia content that may lack complete captions or audio descriptions

If you encounter a specific barrier, please let us know using the contact information below and we will do our best to provide the information or functionality in an accessible format.

3. Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our Site is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers (such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver)
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Browser zoom and text resizing tools
• High contrast display modes
• Voice recognition software (such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking)

We recommend using an up-to-date browser and assistive technology for the best experience. If you experience compatibility issues with a specific tool or browser, please contact us so we can investigate.

4. Third-Party Content

Our Site may include content, plugins, or tools provided by third parties (such as embedded video players, social media feeds, or scheduling tools). While we make reasonable efforts to select accessible third-party solutions, we cannot guarantee full accessibility compliance for all externally hosted content. We encourage you to contact the relevant third-party provider directly if you encounter accessibility issues with their content.

5. Legal Framework

Our accessibility commitment is informed by applicable law, including:

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Title III of the ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in places of public accommodation. Federal courts and the Department of Justice have increasingly interpreted this to include websites. We are committed to providing equal access to our Site in a manner consistent with ADA requirements.

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act

While Section 508 applies primarily to federal agencies and their contractors, we use its standards as a reference for developing accessible digital content.

Oregon Law

Oregon's disability rights protections, including the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 659A, prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability. We are committed to complying with applicable state accessibility requirements.

6. Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our Site. If you experience any barriers to access, have suggestions for improvement, or need content provided in an alternative format, please contact us:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days and to resolve substantive accessibility barriers within a reasonable timeframe. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice ADA Information Line or the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI).

7. Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix. We are committed to:

• Regularly auditing our Site for accessibility issues
• Training our team and content contributors on accessible design and writing practices
• Incorporating accessibility into our process for new content, features, and design updates
• Reviewing and updating this policy as standards and best practices evolve

We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page whenever material changes are made. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed of our progress.
