Grassroots is an app built with the Entity framework to help grassroots organizations manage resources for a campaign. Users can create Activities (single-person actions), Gatherings (group actions), see data about their contributions on the My Report page, see data about the campaign on the Campaign Report page, and view a calendar with any Activities or Gatherings they scheduled on the My Schedule page.

The Gatherings page displays group actions taken on behalf of a campaign. Here the user can see:
- Every Gathering the user has scheduled.

The My Report page lets the user know how many hours they've completed and how many hours the average user has completed. Hours are calculated after an activity or gathering has passed is finish time. The page also features a complete list of the user's activities and gatherings.
The Campaign Report page lets the user know the top-five counties by population and the top-five counties in need of resources in the campaign. It features a multi-variable pie chart representing the population and volunteer hours for each county. It also features a traditional pie chart for the adjusted population of each county. Adjust population is caluclated by taking population and subtracting the volunteer hours multiplied by five (Population - Hours * 5).
The My Schedule page features a calendar with all of the activities and gatherins the user has scheduled. You can click on the link to each activity or gathering to view the details.
