Grants aren't really a procurement action that would be covered. Grants are
when the government gives you money and says ok you can spend it anyway you
like as long as you meet the goals. There has been a great deal of
discussion in the federal 508 community on the subject of grants but there
hasn't been resolutions to the question are grants covered by 508.

If the agency is paying for it then it supports their mission (which in this
case is presumably some form of charity/philanthropy/development).



Although I agree the wording is unneccesary, as it implies there is some
category of material which doesn't need to be captioned. If this is the case
(which I doubt), then lets write down what it is as an exception.

One example I could think of would be where an agency provides a grant to an
entity to produce an interactive product for an audience other than the
Federal Government.

Jessica:



Off the top of my head I'm trying to envision a situation where a
presentation such would not support the agency's mission or be used to train
staff. I like the language because it indicates that materials put out to
staff and/or the public serving the purpose of accomplishing a task for the
agency are required to be accessible. Could you suggest a hypothetical
situation where something might fall through the cracks?

Geoff:



I don't like the "supports the agency's mission or provides training for
agency personnel" language in 24f. We don't have that limitation for any of
the other sections, and it seems that some lesser level of access is
required for interactive elements.
