Securing Reimbursement for the Impact Suite from AmeriCorps via Disability Accomodation Funds

We recently learned that in some cases, AmeriCorps will reimburse programs for their use of the Impact Suite as an accommodation for members with visual impairments.  (The Impact Suite is the only AmeriCorps-compliant platform that works well with screen readers and is built to be accessible for all AmeriCorps members — not just most.)

As one example, AmeriCorps recently notified a program we serve in Pennsylvania that the agency will be reimbursing the program for 100% of its Impact Suite costs from 2023-24 and 2024-25, putting more than $7,000 back into the program’s pockets!

If you have members with visual impairments using the Impact Suite’s timesheets, member files, and/or impact tracking and performance measurement modules, it might be worth exploring this reimbursement program.  Additional details are here.
