 Financial Donations
Giving cash to a nonprofit enables them to purchase the precise items that are needed while eliminating the need to coordinate transportation of in-kind donations. The purchasing power of a nonprofit provides them with the opportunity to purchase discounted product in bulk. Instead of paying $30 for 24 cans of green beans, a nonprofit food bank can buy the same cans for $10.
 Transportation
The Texas Aid Network is helping nonprofits by providing a transportation solution to nonprofits in Texas. This solution is allowing nonprofits to save the time they used to spend on coordinating logistics and spend that on other high value tasks like fundraising. This program is lowering transportation costs by over 10% on the average movement of freight and taking the mission of nonprofits in Texas even further.
Rodney Bivens, the executive director of the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank, says that every time gas rises a penny per gallon, their charity has to spend $650 more a day to carry out its mission, which is to serve needy people in a 50,000-square-mile radius.
 Volunteer Offers
People, especially Texans, want to lend a hand and volunteer. But there hasn't been a site where a volunteer can find all the local nonprofits in need of volunteers. There also hasn't been a site that enables a nonprofit to broadcast their volunteer needs to a large audience of Texas volunteers. The Texas Aid Network enables both volunteers and nonprofit organizations in need of volunteers to find each other simply and efficiently.
 Needs
Nonprofit organizations are always in need of product donations. Through this website, nonprofits can broadcast their exact needs to the donor community. This enables donors to view them, click on the details of the need and make a matching donation offer. So often, specifically in times of disasters when everyone wants to help, organizations recieve endless bags of clothing, food, and more that they either can't use or don't have the time to sort through the bags. This system elimates this problem, providing nonprofits with only the products they need.
 Product Donations
Nonprofits are in need of In-Kind product donations. If you have excess supplies, you can receive a tax write-off by donating that excess product to a nonprofit. You can either donate an unsolicited donation or donate directly to a nonrprofit's needs.
