organizaciones nativas


Explanation:
grassroots organizations >
organizaciones nativas

usualmente por nombre en vez de práctica. se relacionan más con los movimientos conservadores y en la política regional.

Se ve más en organizaciones de vecinos y comunidades pequeñas de menor población. Estos comparten ideologías idénticas o similares para proteger sus pensamientos, tradiciones costumbres.

organizaciones con raíces en la comunidad


Explanation:
grass roots organization = In the US this is a group of people or a society at a local level rather than at the center of major political activity.

The 1st. ref site gives you many examples of grass roots organizations in the US.

En castellano lo equivalente serían "organizaciones a nivel local", pero, por lo de "roots = raíces" me gustó mucho esta frase que encontré en el 2do sitio:
"...Las iglesias, otras 'organizaciones con raíces en la comunidad', o las escuelas donde haya o se puedan crear asociaciones de padres activas, son lugares apropiados para debatir el trabajoinfantil y sus relaciones con la escuela..."

Saludos...
