DescriptionMONITORING LEGISLATION IN THE 50 STATES AND D.C.: MPP Foundation monitored all marijuana-related bills in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, monitored the news, published information about these bills on the organization's Web site, answered requests from state legislators and governors, provided information to reporters, and authored briefing papers and op-eds.Description

DescriptionONLINE OUTREACH: MPP Foundation conducted a series of tactics via the Web to further MPP Foundation's mission, including (1) producing a series of videos that were distributed via the organization's Web site (www.mpp.org) and YouTube (www.youtube.com/MPPstaff), (2) maintaining a blog (blog.mpp.org), (3) updating Facebook "friends" and Twitter "followers" on news and policy developments, and (4) issuing e-newsletters to email subscribers.Description

DescriptionCONFERENCES AND COALITIONS: MPP Foundation's staffers attended and spoke at conferences, reached out to potential allies (with a concentration in California), and strengthened relationships with existing allies for the purpose of building a stronger nationwide coalition to end marijuana prohibition. Specifically, MPP Foundation participated in conferences hosted by the Cato Institute, Reason Foundation, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, FreedomFest, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and a few smaller organizations.Description

9344600MEDIA COVERAGE: MPP Foundation's staffers responded to reporters' inquiries -- and MPP Foundation's staffers pitched stories to reporters -- on the federal government's reports and surveys, private institutions' reports, litigation developments, foreign developments, new research on the therapeutic uses of marijuana, and so forth. Two examples of national-TV coverage were appearances on CNBC's "Power Lunch" (http://youtu.be/091E8lM-5xs) and CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" (http://youtu.be/Glgkr8AYmNk). One example of local TV coverage was an appearance on the ABC affiliate in Austin (http://youtu.be/Dx9q-sn_7XI). One example of newspaper coverage was an op-ed in the "Orange County Register" (http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/marijuana-380633-federal-bill.html). And one example of blog coverage with a large readership was with Reason magazine (http://reason.com/reasontv/2012/12/15/rob-kampia-interview).
89839300001526COLORADO RESEARCH AND VOTER REGISTRATION: MPP Foundation conducted an every-other-day "track poll" in September and October to measure how media coverage and paid advertising affect the level of support among the electorate for the legalization initiative that appeared on the November 6 ballot in Colorado. This polling was conducted for research purposes, with the idea of producing a study afterwards on how the public reacts to the information it receives on the marijuana issue. As for grants, MPP Foundation gave $20,000 to the Rocky Mountain Foundation, which engaged the public on the benefits of regulating marijuana; in addition, MPP Foundation gave $10,000 to the New Era Colorado Foundation, which registered voters in a nonpartisan way.
5468700THREE EVENTS: MPP Foundation held three so-called "fundraising events" in 2012 that were really intended to strengthen coalitions among key partners in the battle to end marijuana prohibition in the United States. (As can be seen in Schedule G, the three so-called "fundraising events" raised a combined net of only $3,898, which was expected.) These three events were held in Los Angeles in June, New York City in September, and San Francisco in November. MPP Foundation expects to hold to the same formula in 2013.
5078800RHODE ISLAND LOBBYING: MPP and MPP Foundation succeeded at passing a marijuana decriminalization bill through the Rhode Island legislature in June 2012, which was to take effect in April 2013. In addition, both organizations lobbied for legislation to make marijuana legal for adults 21 and older, similar to the landmark Colorado law that MPP passed in November 2012.
4674000NEW HAMPSHIRE LOBBYING: Recovering from Gov. John Lynch's (D) veto of the medical marijuana bill in New Hampshire in 2009, MPP Foundation pushed hard for the passage of a similar bill in 2012. Unfortunately, this horrible governor vetoed the bill a second time, so MPP Foundation decided to make a full-court press in 2013, because a new (good) governor was elected in November 2012. The prospects of passing the medical marijuana bill in 2013 were looking quite good at the end of 2012.
4208400PUBLIC EDUCATION: MPP Foundation engaged in a range of activities to build support for MPP Foundation's mission among the public, including (1) updating the Web site (www.mpp.org), (2) producing brochures and briefing papers, (3) responding to email inquiries from the public, (4) giving speeches, and (5) tabling at events.
3887100VERMONT LOBBYING: Bouncing forward from a major legislative victory in 2011 -- when Gov. Pete Shumlin (D) signed into law a bill that legalized medical marijuana dispensaries -- MPP Foundation moved forward with lobbying the Vermont government to decriminalize the personal possession of marijuana.
3789400GRASSROOTS LOBBYING IN TARGETED AND NON-TARGETED STATE LEGISLATURES: MPP Foundation issued state-specific email alerts to MPP's and MPP Foundation's email subscribers in most states (and otherwise updated the organization's 50 state Web pages) for the purpose of inducing supporters to contact their elected officials in many of the 50 states.
3601400MAINE ORGANIZING: MPP Foundation commissioned a major poll of voter attitudes in Maine, for the purpose of deciding whether it would be worthwhile to proceed with a long-term project to build public support for ending marijuana prohibition in Maine. The poll results were encouraging, so MPP Foundation launched the project by paying someone to begin the organizing process in Maine.
2483400ILLINOIS LOBBYING: MPP Foundation continued to lobby the Illinois legislature to pass legislation to legalize the medical use of marijuana, which would make Illinois the 19th state to legalize medical marijuana.
1204800DELAWARE IMPLEMENTATION: MPP Foundation influenced the executive branch of Delaware to fully implement the state's medical marijuana law and to improve draft regulations for the patient registry identification card program. MPP Foundation's bill was actually signed by Gov. Jack Markell (D) in the spring of 2011, so the implementation of this state law has been slow-going.
803500NORTH DAKOTA BALLOT INITIATIVE: MPP and MPP Foundation attempted to place a medical marijuana initiative on the November 2012 ballot in North Dakota, but the two organizations were defrauded by a squad of football players who were subsequently convicted of fraud. As a result, voters didn't have a chance to vote on the question of legalizing medical marijuana in North Dakota. MPP and MPP Foundation will be pursuing the fraudulent actors via a civil lawsuit, in an attempt to recoup financial losses.
754000MINNESOTA ORGANIZING: MPP Foundation retained a former MPP employee to serve as the lead organizer in Minnesota, for the purpose of building public support for the eventual passage of medical-marijuana legislation in Minnesota.
600060000GRANTS PROGRAM: MPP Foundation awarded a $5,000 grant to the Cato Institute, as well as a $1,000 grant to the Reason Foundation, because both organizations are injecting crucial libertarian/conservative arguments into the public discourse as to why marijuana prohibition needs to end in the United States.
487000OREGON ORGANIZING: MPP Foundation retained one of the campaign spokespersons from the failed legalization-initiative campaign in Oregon (which received 47% of the vote in November 2012) to build additional public support in Oregon, with the idea of ending marijuana prohibition in Oregon in a few years.
384920000RHODE ISLAND ORGANIZING: MPP Foundation commissioned a short poll of voter attitudes in Rhode Island, for the purpose of verifying what is actually solid public support for ending marijuana prohibition in Rhode Island. This poll -- in addition to MPP Foundation issuing a grant to the Coalition for Marijuana Regulation (otherwise known as Protect Families First) -- served as the beginning of an educational campaign to educate the public that Rhode Island should end marijuana prohibition.

ExplanationIn the audit, the accountants included the $8,662 depreciation of MPP Foundation's computer equipment as an expense. (MPP Foundation included depreciation of its computer equipment as an expense elsewhere on this Form 990, but not in the same way that the accountants did.) In addition, there are five other discrepancies: (1) This Form 990 shows $27,923 for "consultants and contractors," whereas the audit shows $135,714; (2) this Form 990 shows $279,857 for "online services" and "postage, printing and mailing" combined, whereas the audit shows $117,352 + $51,360 = $168,712; (3) this Form 990 shows $56,134 for "office expenses," whereas the audit shows $77,093; (4) this Form 990 shows $12,183 for "events and meetings," whereas the audit shows $15,138; and (5) this Form 990 shows no "merchandise" costs, whereas the audit shows $8,309. (These discrepancies are attributable to basic accounting differences, rather than "missing money" or other nefarious problems. For example, the Form 990 shows no "merchandise" costs because this figure appears in a different line item on the Form 990.)Explanation

F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cMPP Foundation's executive director asks every member of the MPP Foundation staff and board to sign the conflict-of-interest policy; the intent is to have each person sign the policy once annually. This is preferable to conducting "Romanian-style" investigations of each MPP Foundation staffer and board member to determine if anyone is violating the conflict-of-interest policy.

d1100000Over the course of 2012, MPP Foundation repaid the entirety of its $947,000 debt to MPP (which was an interest-free loan) and -- in fact -- MPP Foundation actually ended up lending MPP $1,100,000 (at a 4.0% interest rate). That is, there was a swing of $2,047,000 over the course of 2012; this was because MPP Foundation had to "subsidize" MPP's expenditures on the Colorado ballot-initiative campaign, which climaxed in November 2012. Looking to the future, the goal is for MPP to repay its $1,100,000 debt to MPP Foundation (at a 4.0% interest rate) by the end of 2014.

n75000MPP and MPP Foundation shared office space and therefore a photocopier, fax machine, printers, phones, and other equipment. Regardless, each organization paid its own share of the rent, the purchase of equipment, and the rental of equipment. So the $75,000 figure that's reported here is really just an estimate of the value of resources that were shared; there was no transfer of $75,000 from one organization to the other.
Marijuana Policy Project
o500000MPP and MPP Foundation shared numerous employees. Regardless, each organization paid its own share of the salaries, taxes, and benefits for each organization's "partial employees." So the $500,000 figure that's reported here is really just an estimate of the value of resources that were shared; there was no transfer of $500,000 from one organization to the other.

s27230MPP rented MPP Foundation's dues-paying membership list for $11,000, for the purpose of mailing a handful of fundraising mailings to MPP Foundation's donors. (The going rate for such rentals of other organizations' mailing lists is 10 cents/member, so MPP was entitled to rent 110,000 of MPP Foundation's members over the course of all MPP mailings in 2012; instead, MPP mailed to only 50,000 or so.) In addition, MPP paid $16,230 in interest to MPP Foundation for the loan that MPP Foundation issued to MPP in 2012.
