Grassroots is an open source project designed to help non-profit organizations get their supporters involved.
This project will focus on two aspects to accomplish a heightened level of involvement:
- Giving campaigns via social networks
- Serving the local community
If you'd like the long version, check out Jason's blog.

We're very thankful for what Microsoft is doing with NuGet and would like to express our sincerest gratitude to them for fostering open source community within their stack.
