We show that every orientable 3–manifold is a classifying space BΓ where Γ is a groupoid of germs of homeomorphisms of ℝ. This follows by showing that every orientable 3–manifold M admits a codimension one foliation ℱ such that the holonomy cover of every leaf is contractible. The ℱ we construct can be taken to be C1 but not C2. The existence of such an ℱ answers positively a question posed by Tsuboi [Classifying spaces for groupoid structures, notes from minicourse at PUC, Rio de Janeiro (2001)], but leaves open the question of whether M = BΓ for some C∞ groupoid Γ.
