As a founding partner for the National Donations Management
Network (NDMN), UPS continues to help in disaster relief. UPS is an
active member of the NDMN providing donated and discounte d
transportation services for in-kind donations made through the NDMN to
the States impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Once a donation offer is
accepted, the States and relief organizations can coordinate directly
with UPS through the NDMN to arrange transportation of the donated
goods.
UPS is a
socially-responsible corporate partner that values philanthropic
investment in leading-edge technologies to directly benefit the
humanitarian relief community. Our relationship with UPS and the UPS
Foundation began in 2007 when we came together with FEMA (The United
States' Federal Emergency Management Agency) and Accenture to build and
launch the National Donations Management System, the first of its kind
in the U.S., that interconnects government, relief organizations and
businesses during times of disaster. They are also the founding member
of the International Transportation Program which helps secure donated
and discounted transportation for relief organizations around the world.
