DALLAS, TX, Dec. 30, 2004 -- Today Aidmatrix announced immediate public availability of its Aidmatrix Disaster Relief Network, enabling individuals, groups and businesses to respond to the recent earthquake and tsunami activity that has devastated millions of lives across Asia.

"Aidmatrix's goal is to help individuals and organizations manage their donations effectively, and make sure those donations have the maximum impact for those in need," said Lekha Singh, CEO and Chair of Aidmatrix. "With millions of people impacted by this and other tragedies, people want their donations to make a difference."

Aidmatrix is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to leveraging partnerships and technology to ensure that the right aid gets to the right people at the right time. Aidmatrix takes industry leading supply chain business technology from organizations such as Accenture and i2 Technologies, and makes them available to the nonprofit world and their civic minded corporate partners to increase efficiency and reduce waste in the delivery of humanitarian aid. Solutions are currently available for hunger relief, donations management, medical and health relief, general humanitarian aid delivery, fundraising and disaster relief.

The Aidmatrix Disaster Relief Network enables single donors and organizations to respond financially to the crisis in Asia through individual donations or team giving campaigns, based on Aidmatrix's Virtual Aid Drive(TM) technology platform. The Virtual Aid Drive(TM) allows donors to see the impact of their donation and direct that donation to leading humanitarian aid groups such as Direct Relief International, Map International and Americares, working in the field during disaster response. Organizations can set up "workplace giving" or other employee focused campaigns via email or the internet quickly and easily. The tool allows each donor to make a monetary donation towards a specific disaster site activity and to select from a list of organizations working within that activity so that each donation is targeted exactly as the donor chooses. Campaign administrators can use the tool to track donation progress and impact. Corporations or civic groups may also use the tool to have their participants donate towards a common goal of paying for a specific medical supply shipment to be sent to a targeted country or a multinational corporation may launch a drive, directing donations to a corporate location impacted by the recent tragedy in Asia.

The Disaster Relief Network also enables corporate donors with large quantities of needed products to donate in a highly efficient manner and to view a list of posted needs from non-profits working onsite at the disaster that can facilitate full benefit for both the end recipients and the donating organization. To date, Aidmatrix aid relief systems have processed over 600 million pounds of aid to end relief charities, impacting the lives of over an estimated 37 million people since July of 2001.

Individuals and corporate representatives can make an immediate impact by donating through the Aidmatrix website at www.aidmatrix.org.
