Accessibility Statement
At the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, we are committed to ensuring that everyone can access and engage with our website and digital content—regardless of ability. We believe that creating an inclusive digital experience is essential to serving all members of our community.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are actively working to enhance the usability and accessibility of CFMT.org. We do this by:
- Including accessibility in internal policies and practices.
- Making accessibility a consideration in our technology procurement decisions.
Our website aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, which are internationally recognized guidelines for improving web accessibility for people with disabilities.
Why Digital Accessibility Matters
In a world that’s increasingly digital-first, 1 in 4 U.S. adults live with a disability that can affect how they use the web. Whether due to visual impairments, neurodiversity, learning difficulties, or language challenges, many users face daily barriers online. With accessibility:
- You create a more inclusive experience for everyone.
- You comply with legal standards like the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
- You build trust and loyalty with a wider audience.
- You strengthen your organization’s mission and community impact.

Enhancing Website User Experience & Compliance with Recite Me
Creating an inclusive online experience isn’t just about checking boxes; it’s about making your content usable, accessible, and welcoming for all. Recite Me provides the tools and guidance to help organizations improve user engagement while moving toward accessibility compliance with global standards like WCAG and the ADA.
Accessibility & Compliance Made Easy
Digital accessibility is not just a design preference, it’s a legal and ethical responsibility. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA) set clear expectations for accessible digital content. Achieving accessibility compliance can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t know where to start. That’s where the Recite Me Accessibility Checker comes in.
This powerful AI-assisted tool quickly scans your website for accessibility barriers and gives you clear, actionable insights to guide your next steps.
With just a few clicks, the Accessibility Checker:
- Runs 200+ automated WCAG 2.2 tests to detect issues like missing alt text, contrast errors, empty links, improper headings, form field labeling problems, and more
- Delivers prioritized fix recommendations with WCAG references and context — including AI-suggested code fixes to help developers remediate issues faster
- Applies temporary browser-level auto-fixes (like contrast adjustments and semantic improvements) to improve user experience while permanent changes are underway
- Includes an AI-powered alt-text generator to suggest descriptive image text when none exists — a helpful feature for large content libraries
- Visualizes accessibility progress with issue scoring, audit history, and exportable reports that support internal tracking and compliance planning
An accessibility toolbar doesn’t just open your site—it opens doors for connection, inclusion, and impact.
