"There is a new, easy way to provide financial support, donate time and skills or donate needed products. The National Donations Management Network is a web-based system where individuals and the private sector can offer their support online to the voluntary organizations that are actively engaged in the ongoing disaster. FEMA works in partnership with the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD), the Aid matrix Foundation and private sector partners to direct donation offers to voluntary agencies in need as they support the thousands of displaced victims. FEMA and Aidmatrix entered into a cooperative agreement, in 2006, to develop this donations management network. The Aidmatrix Foundation offers a way to connect private sector or individuals wanting to offer support on-line to the leading organizations in humanitarian relief. The National Donations Management Network is located at www.fema.gov/donations. Visitors to this site have the option to direct their donation to national level voluntary agencies or directly to the affected Midwest; states such as Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota and Missouri are managing their own state portals".
