Fundraising University Student Platform Accessibility & Privacy Compliance: WCAG 2.1 Level A, Section 508, and COPPA

COPPA Compliant Student Fundraising Platform (WCAG + Section 508 Accessible)

When a school, district, or family evaluates a digital tool used by students—especially minors—two questions come up fast: Is it COPPA compliant? And is it accessible for all students under WCAG and Section 508? Fundraising University (FundU) designed its student fundraising platform to meet these expectations with strong privacy protections, encryption safeguards, and verified accessibility testing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fundraising University Student Platform Confirms Accessibility and Privacy Compliance to Support Every Student

Platform meets WCAG 2.1 Level A standards, complies with Section 508, and aligns with COPPA requirements—reinforcing FundU’s commitment to inclusive access and student data protection.

Gilbert, Arizona — Feb 26th, 2026 —

FundU’s student fundraising platform is COPPA compliant, supporting the privacy and data security requirements that apply to online services used by minors. COPPA sets expectations for how children’s personal information is collected, used, and protected in online environments.

For school leaders and parents, COPPA compliance typically means the platform is built with a privacy-first approach and includes controls intended to protect minors in a digital setting.

What this means in practice on FundU’s platform:

  • The platform is structured to support student privacy requirements for minors

  • FundU maintains protections intended to reduce unnecessary exposure of personal student data

  • FundU is committed to maintaining high standards of student privacy and data security

WCAG 2.1 Level A Compliance and Accessible Design

Accessibility is essential for equitable participation—especially when a platform is used by an entire team, class, or student group.

FundU confirms the platform meets WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance standards and is designed to be accessible for students who use assistive technologies.

Accessibility focus areas commonly evaluated under WCAG include:

  • Clear navigation and readable structure

  • Keyboard accessibility for users who don’t use a mouse

  • Support for assistive technology workflows (where applicable)

  • Consistent layout and predictable interface behavior

FundU reports the platform has undergone comprehensive accessibility testing to validate conformance with applicable accessibility requirements.

Section 508 Compliance for Education Settings

In addition to WCAG alignment, FundU confirms the platform complies with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, a key federal accessibility standard used in many education procurement and technology review processes.

If you’re a superintendent, technology director, or purchasing reviewer, Section 508 compliance is often part of district documentation and vendor screening. FundU’s accessibility posture is designed to support those review expectations.

Student Data Security: Encryption in Transit and at Rest

School communities want clear answers about data security—especially when students create accounts, log in, or interact with a digital platform.

FundU states that all student data is encrypted in transit and at rest, which helps protect information:

  • In transit: while data moves between devices and servers

  • At rest: while data is stored within systems

This approach is intended to reduce risk and support responsible handling of student information.

Student Privacy: No Sharing of Personal Student Information with Third Parties

FundU states it does not share personal student information with third parties. For schools and families, that’s a key vendor-screening concern—especially for platforms used by minors.

If you’re reviewing FundU as an option for your program, this policy is a clear signal that student privacy is treated as a platform requirement, not an afterthought.
