Form 990, Header, Line BWe noticed a few numbers looked inaccurate in our 2015 990 filing and took the necessary steps to correct them
Form 990, Part III, Line 2MPP Foundation dedicated substantial funding in 2015 toward the signature drive to place a legalization initiative on the Arizona ballot in November 2016.
Form 990, Part III, Line 3The signature drive to place a legalization initiative on the Nevada ballot in November 2016 was completed in November 2014. As such, this project didn't comprise a major expense for MPP Foundation in 2015.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThis Form 990 was meticulously reviewed by MPP Foundation's board treasurer -- as well as submitted to the entire board -- before this document was submitted to the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19MPP Foundation's documents are maintained in the organization's headquarters in the District of Columbia. The MPP Foundation staff mails the documents to interested persons -- upon request -- via the U.S. Postal Service. In addition, MPP Foundation posts its Form 990 on the organization's Web site, as well as third-party Web sites. Finally, MPP Foundation also posts its annual report on the organization's Web site.
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9The negative $25,159 figure is just the typical small "fudge factor" that must be inserted here, so that all the numbers add up correctly.

a-i$8,483Over the course of 2015, MPP repaid part of its debt to MPP Foundation, reducing MPP's debt from $200,000 to $160,000.

Looking to the future, the goal is for MPP to repay the final $160,000 (plus interest) by the end of 2016.

s$14,000MPP rented MPP Foundation's dues-paying membership list for $14,000, for the purpose of mailing a handful of fundraising appeals to MPP Foundation's donors. (The going rate for such rentals of other organizations' mailing lists is 10 cents per member, so MPP was entitled to rent 140,000 of MPP Foundation's names over the course of all MPP mailings in 2015; instead, MPP mailed to only 40,000 or so.)
