You have to look into graphical MUD's (Multi-User Dungeon).  There are
a few FOSS projects out there to create MMPORPG's, but it's not really
there yet.  You COULD run a dedicated server, though.  MMPORPG's are
only important when you have HUGE numbers of people playing.  As a
small, non-profit org, you won't have to worry about that.

I believe KoalaMUD was intended to be a text-based MMPORPG, but I
don't know if it's received any real momentum.  Freshmeat actually has
a LOT of projects in this category: http://freshmeat.net/browse/86/

Basically, you need to shop for what's important to you: usability,
language, maturity, ease of deployment @ server & client, etc.  I
think WorldForge has some interesting possibilities and appears to be
actively developed.
