Sponsorship

With your help, we can create the most accessible and fun space possible to learn, share, and grow digital accessibility knowledge in our community, through our mission and values.

Since its inception, A11yTalks has hosted a variety of live talks and panels covering topics related to digital accessibility for beginners, developers, and creatives. All of these videos are streamed and then archived on the A11yTalks YouTube channel with updated captions.

Our content is available to the public as a free resource for digital accessibility education as well as continuing education credits for certified International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP).

In 2022, we assembled an all-volunteer team, passionately contributing time and energy to sustain the project, and we became fiscally hosted by a non-profit.

Now, we need your support to help us meet our accessibility goals, compensate our amazing speakers, and improve our livestream productions to provide the best value possible for our community.

Speaker stipend

We believe in compensating our speakers for the time they spend creating amazing content and sharing it with our viewers.

Production

This includes costs associated with recording talks and providing quality YouTube captions.

Live ASL interpreter

Including live American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation would allow us to reach even more people than captions and further increase the accessibility of our content. See Shattering Assumptions About Deafness - Meryl Evans for an example of our content delivered in ASL for viewers. We try to include this at least 1-3 times per year.

Operations

Operations include necessary technical items such as domain renewal, web hosting, wire transfer fees, etc. We have also included general liability insurance, which would protect the A11yTalks project from claims like libel or slander. These costs are billed annually.
