The Aidmatrix Network Overview
A Superhighway for Disaster Relief
Connecting Donors, Governments and Nonprofits
The Aidmatrix Network® is a national disaster relief coordination system funded by FEMA, The UPS Foundation, Accenture, and the Aidmatrix Foundation, Inc. to better manage unsolicited donations and volunteers. It connects State and local governments with donors, State Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), National VOAD, and FEMA through web-based tools to reduce paperwork and allow for easy information sharing. No software, hardware or additional IT staff is required with this hosted solution, and training is minimal.
The Aidmatrix Network Disaster Kit includes the following modules: In-Kind Donations Management, Volunteer Management, Warehouse Management, Financial Donation Referrals.
Empowering Disaster Relief
This is more than just a computer system; it’s a national partnership. Here's how it works:
- Donors Make Offers to the State
Online donation tools are integrated into the State website where donors make unsolicited donations of goods and services. Easy-to-use call center tools help process phoned-in offers. Donors are treated with respect and efficiency.
- State Emergency Offices Allocate Offers to the State VOADs
Donations management replaces pen and paper record keeping. Offers can quickly be shared with VOAD members and processed once accepted. Administrative burdens are lessened, allowing valuable resources to focus on relief work.
- VOAD Members Review, Accept and Receive Offers
VOAD members can access, accept and process donations 24x7 online. Real-time inventory tracking, sorting and distribution tools enable goods to move in and out quickly. Offers and needs are easily communicated and matched. The result: More relief is delivered to more people in need.
The Aidmatrix Network leverages best practices already in use today to move more than $1.5 billion of aid annually to more than 35,000 voluntary organizations. The result of combining these best practices is a flexible, easy-to-use, real-time network of technology, partnership and community. The Aidmatrix Network is simple enough to use everyday and scalable enough to use during a disaster. It provides a common system that can be readily understood and implemented, allowing more people to be helped with quality aid.
