Grants and discounts
for media, NGOs, and education

There's no catch, but there is a reason. Digital accessibility barely gets talked about publicly in Ukraine — and as long as it doesn't, businesses don't see the problem, the government doesn't require it, and users get used to the barriers. We can't buy that conversation, and we're not trying to. What we can do is remove the price barrier for newsrooms that cover social issues — and for whom their own site's accessibility is a question of audience, not reporting: people with vision impairments read the news, every day. Yes, it benefits us when accessibility is part of the public conversation. But that benefit isn't written into the grant as a condition — and it can't be: a publication received in exchange for a service is legally advertising and has to be labeled as such. Neither you nor we need that.

Nothing. That's not a figure of speech: there is no obligation in return anywhere in the documents — no publication, no link, no mention, no installing the panel on your site. We separately hope that within a year you'll publish at least one piece about accessibility. If you don't, nothing happens: we don't penalize you, disable access, or send reminders.

No, and that's spelled out as a separate clause in the document. We don't decide the topic, angle, tone, timing, or whether you publish at all. We don't approve talking points. We don't read the piece before it runs. There are no content requirements — including the right to write critically about accessibility, mention competitors, or not mention us at all. If you choose to mention us and consider the piece to be advertising, labeling it is on your side, same as in any other case.

The grant ends. There's no auto-renewal, and we don't ask for a card, so nothing gets charged and nothing breaks on its own. 30 days before the end, we'll write to ask whether you want to continue. From there you have three options: renew the grant for another year (that's our decision, and we're not obligated to renew it), switch to a paid plan, or simply remove the panel's code. Your audit results stay in your dashboard.

Possibly, yes — and we say this before signing, not after. Under Ukraine's Tax Code, the value of services received free of charge can be counted as the recipient's income. For media on the simplified tax system, that means tax on the grant's value at your rate; for media on the general system, it's corporate income tax. That's why our documents state a specific amount based on your plan tier, rather than an abstract "value" — so your accountant can book it correctly. Order of magnitude: the amount depends on your site's size, and for a news archive it's typically a few thousand dollars a year. We recommend showing the document to your accountant before signing — five minutes that save an unpleasant surprise a quarter later.

Not because they matter less. Because we fund the program from our own commercial sales, and there are far more NGOs and educational institutions in Ukraine than media outlets with their own website. We simply can't sustain a grant for everyone — and it's better to offer -60% for the long run than 100% for six months before shutting the program down. The 60% discount applies with no conditions attached, no publications, and no separate contract: it's applied straight to your account, and that's it.

The Panel + Audit combo — the same one paid customers get, with no reduced functionality. The plan tier is set by your site's page count: 8 tiers, from "up to 50 pages" to "up to 100,000,000". We look at your site's real size, archive included, and enable the matching tier. Auto-fix is not part of the grant — you can preview it in Preview mode, but enabling it on the live site requires a paid plan.

Government bodies and state-owned enterprises — no. They have budgets for procuring IT services, and standard rates apply to them. Municipal schools, universities, and libraries are a harder case: the 60% discount is available to them, but a public-sector institution usually can't take it under the public offer — it needs a contract, an invoice, an act, and sometimes a procurement procedure. Write to us and we'll prepare documents that match your requirements.

Yes. Referral commissions for clients you bring us work independently of the grant or discount — one doesn't cancel out the other.
