THE GRANTS PROGRAM IS PROMOTED THROUGH DPA'S WEB SITE, OTHER DRUG POLICY WEBSITES, CONFERENCES, AND WEBINARS AND BY DPA STAFF IN ALL STATES WHERE DPA HAS A PRESENCE. GRANTS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY MADE TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE ACHIEVED 501(C)(3) STATUS AND THAT ORGANIZE AND CONDUCT PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS ALIGNED WITH OUR PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE. ALL APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A PROJECT PROPOSAL; MOST CURRENT IRS FORM 990; AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; BOARD MEETINGS; KEY STAFF RESUMES; 501(C)(3) IRS EXEMPT LETTER. APPLICANT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR 501(C)(3) EXEMPT LETTER NEED TO APPLY THROUGH A FISCAL SPONSOR WITH 501(C)(3) STATUS. THE PROGRAM IS MANAGED BY TWO PART-TIME STAFFERS WHO REVIEW ALL APPLICATIONS AND CONSULT HEAVILY WITH DPA STAFF KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE ISSUES AND THE APPLICANT ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND OTHER DRUG POLICY REFORM EXPERTS.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	THE WAR ON DRUGS IS AMONG THE MOST DISASTROUS POLICIES IN THE UNITED STATES. IT IS A MAJOR DRIVER OF CRIMINALIZATION AND OVER-POLICING, WITH A PARTICULARLY DEVASTATING IMPACT ON GENERATIONS OF BLACK, LATINX, AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT IS THE BASIS FOR DEPRIVING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE. IT IS THE CAUSE FOR DEPORTATION OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS EACH YEAR. IT IS THE EXCUSE FOR POURING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO BRUTAL MILITARY AND POLICE FORCES IN COUNTRIES FROM MEXICO TO AFGHANISTAN TO THE PHILIPPINES. IT DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS OR OTHER NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG MISUSE BUT INSTEAD EXACERBATES THESE VERY REAL PROBLEMS. AND IT FUELS PREJUDICE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS, ENABLING AND ENCOURAGING THEIR DEHUMANIZATION. DPA ENVISIONS A JUST SOCIETY IN WHICH THE USE AND REGULATION OF DRUGS ARE GROUNDED IN SCIENCE, COMPASSION, HEALTH, AND HUMAN RIGHTS; IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER PUNISHED FOR WHAT THEY PUT INTO THEIR OWN BODIES; AND IN WHICH THE FEARS, PREJUDICES, AND PUNITIVE PROHIBITIONS OF TODAY ARE NO MORE. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THOSE POLICIES AND ATTITUDES THAT BEST REDUCE THE HARMS OF BOTH DRUG USE AND DRUG PROHIBITION, AND TO PROMOTE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIVIDUALS OVER THEIR MINDS AND BODIES. FOUNDED IN 2000, TODAY WE HAVE 45 STAFF, 12,000 MEMBERS, 175,000 SUBSCRIBERS TO OUR ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS, AND A GROWING TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS AT THE MUNICIPAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS. WHILE OUR WORK ADDRESSES THE WIDE RANGE OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC ISSUES TOUCHED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS, NEARLY ALL OUR EFFORTS FALL UNDER THREE SUBSTANTIVE ISSUE AREAS: 1) REFORMING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A PRINCIPAL FACTOR DRIVING MASS CRIMINALIZATION AND A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE UNPRECEDENTED RATE OF INCARCERATION IN THE U.S. SIMPLE DRUG POSSESSION IS BY FAR THE MOST ARRESTED OFFENSE IN THE COUNTRY, WITH 1.35 MILLION ARRESTS IN 2019 ALONE. DPA SEEKS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARRESTED, CONVICTED, INCARCERATED, AND OTHERWISE PUNISHED FOR DRUG OFFENSES; TO ADDRESS THE PROFOUND RACISM IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM; AND TO OVERHAUL POLICIES THAT SUPPORT THE DRUG WAR, SUCH AS CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE. 2) EMPOWERING PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACHES. THE DRUG WAR TREATS DRUG USE PRIMARILY AS A CRIMINAL PROBLEM RATHER THAN A HEALTH ISSUE, CAUSING UNNECESSARY DEATH, DISEASE, AND SUFFERING. MORE THAN 71,000 PEOPLE DIED OF AN OVERDOSE IN 2019 MAKING IT THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH IN THE COUNTRY. DPA ADVOCATES HARM REDUCTION POLICIES AND EVIDENCE-BASED PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS TO MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF DRUGS, SUCH AS OVERDOSE FATALITIES, HIV/AIDS, HEPATITIS C, AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, AND TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE MODELS TO CRIMINALIZATION. 3) ENDING CANNABIS PROHIBITION. CANNABIS PROHIBITION IS AT THE HEART OF THE DRUG WAR, DIRECTLY HARMING MORE LIVES THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE DRUG POLICY. EVEN THOUGH MANY STATES HAVE CREATED LEGAL MARKETS, THERE WERE MORE THAN HALF A MILLION ARRESTS FOR CANNABIS POSSESSION IN 2019. THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN ARREST CAN BE SEVERE, LEADING TO LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, PARENTAL RIGHTS, AND FINANCIAL AID. DPA PROMOTES SENSIBLE POLICIES TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS AND TO LEGALLY REGULATE CANNABIS FOR MEDICAL AND ADULT-USE PURPOSES.
