DALLAS, TX (MMD Newswire) March 25, 2009 -- The Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. today announced its partnerships with the States of Illinois and Maine. These governments joined the National Donations Management Network (NDMN) program, powered by the Aidmatrix Network® - a national relief coordination system funded by FEMA, the UPS Foundation, Accenture, and other partners of Aidmatrix to better manage unsolicited donations and volunteers. It connects governments, donors and Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), at the National, State and local levels. Through web-based tools, paperwork is reduced for processing donations and allows for easy information sharing and transparency.

The States' web portals on the NDMN will help to coordinate relief efforts in times of disaster between the State offices of emergency services and the nonprofit relief agencies on the frontlines. The portals for each State include managing volunteers, in-kind donations, warehouses, and financial referrals. Nonprofits can post needs onto the system for donors to view and fulfill, reducing unneeded goods. Donors respond to the product or volunteer needs, for a more efficient supply chain of giving.

The NDMN now covers over 77% of the U.S. population and connects 37 U.S. States and territories with hundreds of relief organizations. These States are prepared before a disaster strikes to create an effective flow of relief to the people in need. The Network is streamlining relief efforts with technology and relationships just like the supply chains used within the for-profit world. If you would like more information on how to be a part of the Network, please visit www.aidmatrix.org or email info@aidmatrix.org
