DALLAS, TX - March 2, 2009 - The Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. today announced its partnerships with the States of Hawaii, Tennessee, South Dakota and Washington for the National Donations Management Network (NDMN), powered by the Aidmatrix Network®. The NDMN is a national disaster relief donations coordination system funded by FEMA, the UPS Foundation, Accenture, and the Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. to better manage unsolicited donations and volunteers by helping to connect donors to recipients. This web-based tool reduces paperwork for processing donations and allows for more streamlined information sharing for State Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), National VOAD, State governments and FEMA.

The States' Web portals on the National Donations Management Network facilitate the coordination of donations and volunteer resources in times of disaster between the State offices of emergency services and those nonprofit relief agencies on the frontlines. NDMN provides a communication link between interested donors and nonprofits that are in need of resources. Nonprofits are also able to post needs onto the system for donors to view and fulfill.

"Joining the National Donations Management Network is a continuation of Tennessee State government's partnership with members of the Tennessee Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), to be better prepared for disaster response and recovery," stated James Bassham, Director of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. "With so much of the United States connected through the NDMN, we see the value to leverage a national network to connect donors from across the country to our volunteer agencies in need."

The National Donations Management Network now covers 86% of the U.S. population and connects 46 states and territories with hundreds of relief organizations. With the addition of Tennessee, the NDMN now provides disaster support for all of FEMA Region 4. With the addition of Washington, the NDMN provides support for all of FEMA Region 10. With the addition of Hawaii, the NDMN provides support for all of FEMA Region 9. These States are preparing before a disaster strikes to create an effective flow of relief to the people-in-need. The NDMN is streamlining relief efforts with technology and relationships just like the supply chains used within the for-profit world.
