Renewing the Commitment: ADA and Non-profits

The Chicago Community Trust is encouraging and demonstrating ADA compliance to a new sector: non-profit organizations.  Non-profits are committed to serving the least supported in our communities and people with disabilities often disproportionally represented in those groups in need.  To ensure we are equally meeting the needs of our community, non-profits want to serve people with disabilities with sensitivity and respect.

This comprehensive guide starts with a simple self-assessment tool, then goes through how to communicate sensitively and respectfully, how to run accessible meetings and events and appropriate policies.  With ten tip sheets and three templates for sharing your accessible features and policies, it is necessary guide for any non-profit.

“On the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, people with disabilities continue to face barriers to employment and civic participation. The Trust’s Renewing the Commitment provides nonprofits with a handbook for making their facilities and services fully ADA compliant and accessible to all.”
