This was our second year on Open Collective with Open Collective Foundation as our fiscal host. Thanks to our amazing donors and funds received from A11yCat T-shirts, we’ve been able to fund human-generated captioning for all of our talks for 2023, covered domain renewals, and bought stickers to share with the community.
In November, we officially announced our organization contribution levels and we look forward to working with organizations that align with our mission and values.
Big thank you to our contributors, organizers, speakers, and viewers for making A11yTalks possible. We can’t wait to see what awaits us in 2024.
