Documents to make accessible
Along with your annual report, there are a variety of documents that charities should make accessible. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Whitepapers
- Proxy Statements
- eBooks & Viewbooks
- Infographics
- ESG & Sustainability Reports
- Donor and Corporate communications
- e-Brochures
- Interactive PDFs
- Brand Toolkits and other marketing collaterals.
Making these documents accessible to clients ensures that they are well informed about the work that you are doing on their behalf. It also helps to build trust and confidence in your charity.
By considering inclusion as part of your Annual Report, by making your PDF accessible and compliant you are baking inclusion into your publication. No one in our sector is actively looking to exclude our community but we must make ourselves aware what accessibility is really all about. Digital Accessible and digitally accessible annual reports are the same as a ramp into your building, you wouldn’t think of saying we don’t need a ramp for access, digital accessibility is the same thing.
Think digital accessibility as you are putting your annual reports together, if you need help and support please contact www.vially.io
