Accessible Forms for Charities. Built Into the Process.
Stop excluding the people you serve. Create accessible application, feedback, and referral forms in minutes — WCAG 2.2 AA compliant by default.
Your charity serves people. Some of those people have disabilities. When your application forms are not accessible, you create a barrier that prevents them from accessing your services — and potentially puts you in breach of the Equality Act 2010. FormGenius builds accessibility in from the start, so every form you create is already compliant.
Why charities choose FormGenius
Legal compliance, built in
Charities are service providers under the Equality Act 2010. Using an accessible form tool is exactly the kind of reasonable adjustment the law requires. FormGenius creates WCAG 2.2 AA compliant forms by default — no extra work, no specialist training, no guesswork.
Reach more of the people you serve
Disabled people are part of your beneficiary community. When your forms are accessible, they can engage with your charity — more applications, more feedback, more participation. Higher completion rates also mean better data about your impact.
Demonstrate genuine inclusion
For a charity, accessibility is more than legal compliance — it is mission-critical. When you tell your donors, board, and community that your forms meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, you are showing that inclusion is not just talk. It is how you actually operate.
Affordable for charity budgets
No expensive software, no specialist consultants. FormGenius starts completely free — no account required. The free tier is genuinely useful, not a crippled trial. Paid tiers are priced for social sector organisations, not enterprise IT.
What charities use FormGenius for
Volunteer applications
Accessible volunteer application forms show prospective volunteers that your commitment to inclusion extends to how you recruit.
Service applications and referrals
The people your charity serves need to access your services. Inaccessible application forms exclude the beneficiaries you most want to reach.
Feedback and beneficiary surveys
Accessible surveys ensure you hear from everyone you serve, including disabled people who might otherwise be excluded from giving feedback.
Consent and safeguarding forms
Critical documents that carry legal and safeguarding obligations — accessible by default so no one is excluded from giving informed consent.
Event and workshop registration
Accessible registration forms are the first step in inclusive event planning — showing attendees that accessibility starts before they arrive.
Donation and sponsorship forms
Your supporters want to give. Accessible donation forms remove barriers, so your fundraising reaches everyone who wants to contribute.
How it works
From design to published form in minutes — no technical knowledge required.
Design your form
Use our visual editor to drag and drop fields, add your charity branding, and organise sections — as simple as any form tool you have used before.
Check with the Accessibility Wizard
Our 6-tab wizard checks heading hierarchy, image alt text, tab order, colour contrast, field labels, and overall compliance. It tells you exactly what to fix in plain language.
Publish as PDF or web form
Export as a PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1) tagged accessible PDF, or publish as a live WCAG 2.2 AA web form. Same design, two accessible outputs.
Collect responses securely
Submissions are encrypted at rest and only visible to you. Export to CSV, embed on your website, or import filled PDFs as submissions.

The legal landscape for charities
Charities are not exempt from accessibility law. Several pieces of UK legislation create obligations that apply directly to how you collect data from beneficiaries, volunteers, and supporters.
Equality Act 2010
Applies to all charities. Requires reasonable adjustments to ensure disabled people are not placed at a substantial disadvantage when accessing your services. Inaccessible forms can constitute a failure to make reasonable adjustments — using FormGenius is evidence that you have taken appropriate steps.
Charity Commission expectations
The Charity Commission emphasises accessibility and inclusion as part of good governance. Demonstrating that your digital services are accessible — including your forms — is part of showing you are running your charity well.
Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018
If your charity receives significant public funding or delivers publicly funded services, you may also be covered by these regulations, which require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as a minimum. FormGenius exceeds this standard at WCAG 2.2 AA.
European Accessibility Act 2025
Came into force across the EU in June 2025. The UK is expected to adopt equivalent provisions extending digital accessibility requirements. Organisations using FormGenius already meet the higher standard.
This is not legal advice. We recommend consulting a qualified legal professional for guidance on your specific obligations.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use FormGenius for sensitive data such as safeguarding forms?
Yes. Web form submissions are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption, and only the form owner can access responses. PDF generation happens entirely in your browser on the free tier — your data never touches our servers. You remain responsible for your data protection obligations.
Can beneficiaries complete a form offline?
Yes. They can download the accessible PDF, complete it offline, and submit or email it back. On Growth and Business tiers, you can import filled PDFs directly as submissions, so paper and digital responses are in one place.
Can we embed forms on our charity website?
Yes. Published web forms can be embedded anywhere with a two-line code snippet that auto-resizes to fit your page — no scrollbars, no fixed heights.
We are a small charity with no digital expertise. Can we really do this?
Absolutely. FormGenius is designed for non-technical people. If your team can use Word or Google Docs, they can build accessible forms in FormGenius. There is nothing to install and no coding required.
What if we have existing inaccessible forms on our website?
Remake them in FormGenius. It is almost always quicker and more cost-effective than attempting to remediate existing PDFs with specialist software. Most forms can be recreated in under an hour.
