MissionThe Drug Policy Alliance 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 but only for crimes against others; 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.MissionDesc

DescPublic Policy and Legal Affairs- The Drug Policy Alliance seeks to fundamentally transform the way society thinks about and addresses drugs, the people who use them, and the markets through which they are available. We advocate a wholesale change of drug policy - an end to the war on drugs - based on our organizational values of reason, compassion, justice, freedom, and responsibility. Most generally, our goal is to shift the U.S. response to drugs from a punitive criminal justice model to one based on public health and human rights. While our work addresses the wide range of social, political, and economic issues touched by the war on drugs, nearly all of our efforts fall under four substantive issue areas: reforming the criminal justice system, empowering public health approaches, reforming cannabis policy, and promoting effective drug education for youth. The Drug Policy Alliance supports incremental policy and legal reforms at the local, state, and federal levels that can be accomplished over the next few years, with the goal that each reform 1) creates real and measurable benefits for people who have been or would be unjustly victimized by the war on drugs, thereby reducing the death, disease, crime, and suffering associated with both drug use and drug prohibition; 2) builds political consciousness among other organizations and the public regarding the need to reform drug policies; and 3) advances our long-term vision of a society in which criminalization and criminal justice institutions play a minimal role in dealing with drugs, drug users, and drug markets. The Drug Policy Alliance is currently most active at the federal level and in California, Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Washington, D.C.Desc

DescGrants - The Drug Policy Alliance's Advocacy Grants Program advances drug policy reform at the local, state, and national levels by strategically funding smaller and geographically limited organizations and projects. It has two funding tracks. The first is Promoting Policy Change, through which we awarded approximately $780,000. The second, totaling approximately $320,000, is Rapid Response/Special Opportunities, through which we awarded smaller grants to time-sensitive projects. We also allocate funds to bring together grantees annually to improve the coordination among organizations and with the Drug Policy Alliance's programs.Desc

DescCommunications- The Drug Policy Alliance initiates and shapes local, national, and international dialogue on drug policy reform, exposing the public to our messages and generating earned media each year equivalent in impact to what would cost millions of dollars in paid advertising. Our public relations efforts support our local and national programs and projects, help smaller organizations promote their own campaigns, and take advantage of breaking news to provoke debate framed by our mission and vision. We publish booklets and other materials on cutting edge drug policy issues, and collaborate with allied organizations in producing assessments of state and federal drug and crime policies. The Lindesmith Library, housed in our New York office and open to the public, is among the world's leading repositories of print and other media materials about drugs and drug policy, and has emerged as the de facto archives of the harm reduction and drug policy reform movements. While our priority in our public education work is to build support for short-term state campaigns, we also seek to engage in longer-term campaigns to educate people more broadly about our mission and vision. We use marketing to promote DPA's "brand" as the leading organization advancing alternatives to the war on drugs.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Drug Policy Alliance's Advocacy Grants Program is divided into two distinct funding pools, the annual Promoting Policy Change program (PPC), which grants roughly $780,000 over the course of the fiscal year; and the monthly Special Opportunities (SpOpp) program, which has the capacity to grant $400,000 over the same period. 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. After their internal review, the staff presents the application and their recommendations to a six-person review committee comprised of a DPA board member, community leaders, and DPA's executive director. The committee is ultimately responsible for making award decisions. The program staff maintains communication with the grantees throughout the year, and the grant recipient organizations attend an annual Partners Meeting to discuss their projects and outcomes. At the end of the grant cycle, all grantees submit a final narrative and expenditure report.ExplanationTxt
