MG2010 East: Grassroots.org

Grassroots.org focuses on nonprofits by offering free services including our one of a kind Grassroots Toolbox full of free valuable web based services, plus full-featured web hosting, free website design, mentoring services, consulting and more. Often 501c3 organizations with the noblest of missions do not have adequate experience in the business world or adequate knowledge of modern technologies. This is because they must spend most of their time in the trenches making a difference and raising funds to stay afloat. This inadvertently leaves them unable to keep up with ever changing modern business and technology methods. Grassroots.org is committed to bringing these best practices to the doorsteps of nonprofits by offering free services that save precious cash resources and assist them in becoming more efficient. In turn, they can provide additional benefits to their constituents.

Currently serving 2,600 nonprofits across the US, Canada and Africa, our ultimate goal is to adopt 10,000 nonprofit members and provide them each with an average of $10,000 of services per year at no charge (for a total savings of $100 million per year!).

The work that we put into expanding the Grassroots.org network would all be for naught if we did not have a way of bridging our new connections. One way that we bring our community members together is through our NING Social Networking website. This online forum allows our constituents to share stories, resources and learn more about what we do. In addition to empowering nonprofits with the power and flexibility of state-of-the-art tools, our organization's value continues to lie in the collaboration that we foster amongst our community of nonprofit organizations, volunteers, modern businesses and technology companies.
