Accessibility Statement

Holon Foundation is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including individuals with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Target

The Holon Foundation website (holonfoundation.org) and the Holon Trust Portal aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and mandated under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) per the Department of Justice final rule of April 2024.

We recognize that the DOJ compliance deadline for entities serving populations of 50,000 or more is April 24, 2026, and we are actively working toward full compliance before this date.
