Outbreak of Cholera in Haiti Threatens
Continued Earthquake Relief
A recent Cholera outbreak in Haiti has affected more than 6,500 people on the island; relief workers and citizens alike. Our partners are still on the ground in Haiti providing relief, and they can use your help. Donate to them or to Aidmatrix through the link below.  During the earthquake, Aidmatrix and USAID partnered on a Donations Management Program. "The whole thing was miraculous," said Susan Talbot, Gift-In-Kind manager for World Concern. "It's a service that is desperately needed. I logged in every day to see what was available. Our organization received a variety of valuable donated products from USAID's Aidmatrix Donations Management portal." World Concern estimates they received $31,441 in value of donated goods and services. It allowed a more substantial response - in a time of critical need.

California Resiliency Alliance Unveils CRADAR - Connecting Private Sector Resources to Emergency Response
 On October 21, 2010, cross-sector leaders in supply chain, business continuity, corporate social responsibility, and emergency management gathered for the kickoff of CRADAR - the California Resiliency Alliance Disaster Asset Registry. Hosted by Visa at their headquarters in Foster City, CA, the quarterly meeting of the California Resiliency Alliance (CRA) featured a presentation and round-table discussion about the use of private sector resources to procure resources in times of disaster. The CRADAR system is part of a worldwide network powered by Aidmatrix technology. "In recent disasters, businesses have shown they're willing to donate food, supplies, transportation, warehouses and experts to help in the response and relief efforts," explains Peter Ohtaki, CRA Executive Director. "The California Resiliency Alliance and Aidmatrix are providing businesses a way to pre-identify these resources, save time, and potentially save lives."

Create a Holiday Virtual Donations Drive
Start planning your year-end donations drive for the upcoming holiday season. A Virtual Aid Drive™ can be quickly set up and customized for your organization. All the donations are processed securely online - so there's no worry about collecting cash. And they can be a lot of fun.
For Corporations: Create a competition within your company and allow each department to see each team's progress. Let employees select from a variety of local or national charities from which they can designate their donation. Plus your dollars go a lot further. When nonprofits purchase food they can often save more than 75% off retail costs - thus allowing them to feed more people.
For Nonprofits: Here's a great addition to your website and email fundraising campaigns. Give donors the convenience of an online shopping cart. Plus they get the confidence of knowing they are providing goods that are needed most, not items that will sit on your shelves. No paperwork or credit card processing for your staff. Just enjoy a monthly check in the mail for your total donations.
