Grassroots or not?

The Rainforest Action Network, or RAN, is classified as a grassroots organization. According to RAN.org, they are staffed by 36 members in Tokyo and San Francisco, and depend on volunteers and donations to operate.

RAN is "one of the most radical organizations in the environmental movement that has nonprofit status under the 501(c)3 section of the tax code," according to captalresearch.org, a site that researches non-profit organizations. Capitalreasearch.org also refers to Patrick Reinsborough, RAN's coordinator, as "grassroots."
