The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has received US$ 660,037 in core funding from the Ford Foundation via their Technology and Society program, to provide core support through July 2026 to W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) work developing web accessibility standards, guidelines, and implementation resources to support access for people with disabilities.

This funding is significant both as it helps further our work in accessibility, and is the first we receive since we established in January 2023 as a US public-interest non-profit organization.
