GiveGab is constantly updating its platform with enhanced functionality and innovative features; therefore, we perform accessibility audits quarterly to understand how we comply. We leverage specialized tools such as WAVE and PopeTech to help us perform these audits and make adjustments. Any items discovered are logged and added to the product development backlog to ensure they are addressed in a timely manner. The items listed below represent previous accessibility violations that have been resolved
