The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, standards, and supporting resources to make the web accessible to people with disabilities.
W3C greatly appreciates the support WAI receives from stakeholders committed to making digital technology accessible. Contributions such as grants, sponsorship, and support for fellows enable WAI to bring together a unique collaboration of industry, government, research, and people with disabilities in a cooperative effort to improve digital accessibility for disabled people.
