The Nonprofit AI Almanac

Events, outreach and accessibility

Create an accessible event checklist

Helps you include more people from the start.

Lower risk: public info only — A checklist holds no personal data.

Please note: This site is only a guide to help people understand. Consult your IT, security and/or privacy department for clarification.

Before you start, gather

Name the real [EVENT FORMAT] and [VENUE OR PLATFORM], and write [REQUEST METHOD] as the way guests actually reach your team. Afterward, visit the venue or test the platform with the checklist in hand.

Starter prompt

Create an accessibility checklist for a [EVENT FORMAT] event at [VENUE OR PLATFORM]. Cover getting there, entry, seating, restrooms, sound and lighting, printed and digital materials, captions, sign language, quiet space, food needs and how guests can request accommodations: [REQUEST METHOD]. Do not claim that a venue or platform meets any accessibility law or standard; write VISIT TO CONFIRM instead of guessing.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Visit the venue or test the platform yourself, and ask people with disabilities in your community to review.

What it might get wrong

A claim that the venue complies with accessibility law, checklist items for features the platform does not have, and accommodation steps with no named owner.
