Join the grassroots community!

We probably already know about the great work your organization does in the community, but how many people out there looking to be more involved for the first time know who you are?

Even then, dedicated activists and allies might not know what your team is up to at any given time.

Deschutes Grassroots aims to solve both problems – giving you more visibility and the tools to better coordinate with allied groups in one place.

Interested in signing up? It’s all free, you control your content and data, and event listings can be customized to fit on your own organization’s webpage with calendar widgets and more.

Features

Group Directory

Let your group be discovered! Add information about your group to the directory so folks can easily learn about what you do and how they can help or become involved.

Calendar

Add your events to the calendar. Events can be sorted on a variety of filters allowing visitors to find the right fit for them. You can add recurring events like a regular monthly meeting just once and be done, or add special events, multi-day events, events held jointly with another group – there is no limit!

Tickets

Optional: Add paid tickets or free RSVPs to your event and collect attendee data for your list. Use the built-in system or easily direct users to outside sites. Data is easily exported in a CSV file compatible with Excel and most community management suites.

Widgets

Add a calendar to your organization’s website. Calendar widgets can be customized to display different views, such as list-style or month-style, and you can choose which events to show. Show only your group’s events, events from select groups or categories, or the entire community calendar.

You're in control

This project is a group effort. There is no editorial control: you post what you like, when you like, and the data is yours. But, if you need a little help or have ideas for new features, let us know and we can get your group what it needs.

Voters' guide

Ultimately, this site is about affecting change and that means politics is involved. If your group issues endorsements for candidates or issues, add your voice to the one-stop grassroots voters’ guide so folks can hear from people they trust.

We’re happy to sit down one-on-one or in a group and walk through how to use the site from A to Z. Plus, we’re working on a step-by-step guide for posting events and more. Don’t let tech savvy get in the way – if you can get around using email, you can post events. Our editor is similar to Gmail or MS Word – no coding knowledge required.
