DescriptionCOLORADO BALLOT INITIATIVE: Paid for 90% of the signature drive to qualify MPP's initiative for the Colorado ballot in November 2012. The initiative would regulate marijuana similarly to alcohol so -- if the initiative passes with a simple majority vote in November 2012 -- this would be the most significant victory in the history of the overall movement to end marijuana prohibition in the U.S.Description

ExpenseExpenseGrantsGrantsRevenueRevenueDescriptionDescription
10538800PUBLIC EDUCATION: 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.
7490100CONFERENCES/COALITIONS: 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.
7093100COALITION-BUILDING IN LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCISCO: Held a pair of events -- in Los Angeles in July, and in San Francisco in November -- to build the coalition of opinion leaders who are working to end marijuana prohibition in the U.S.
5854700MEDIA COVERAGE: Responded to inquiries from hundreds of reporters, as well as pitching stories to reporters on federal-government reports and surveys, litigation developments, foreign developments, new research on the therapeutic uses of marijuana, and so forth. Two examples of national-TV coverage were appearances on the Fox News Channel (www.youtube.com/watch?v=DETmnLhJbaI) and MSNBC (www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXas-EJWmo). One example of local TV coverage was an appearance on the FOX affiliate in Minneapolis (www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_YG7U7wzuk). One example of newspaper coverage was an MPP op-ed in The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/our-troops-deserve-an-effective-treatment-for-ptsd-marijuana/2011/10/10/gIQAxlEkkL_story.html). And one example of blog coverage that also resulted in newspaper coverage nationwide was with Reason magazine (reason.com/blog/2011/06/22/barney-frank-and-ron-paul-will).
3268400VERMONT LOBBYING: Lobbied the Vermont legislature to pass a marijuana-decriminalization bill.
2402900ILLINOIS LOBBYING: Continued to lobby the Illinois legislature to pass legislation to legalize the medical use of marijuana, which would make Illinois the 17th state to legalize medical marijuana.
2200000RHODE ISLAND LOBBYING: We continued the process of lobbying the state legislature to decriminalize the personal possession of marijuana for recreational use.
1600000DELAWARE LOBBYING: Continued lobbying the Delaware legislature to pass medical-marijuana legislation, which we succeeded at doing. Our bill was signed by Gov. Jack Markell (D) in the spring of 2011.
1243700PIONEERS OF REFORM EVENT: This dinner and reception, held at a private home in Los Angeles on July 9, connected major leaders in the marijuana-policy-reform movement to each other. This was not a fundraising event.
1200000NEW YORK LOBBYING: We continued to lobby the New York legislature to pass a medical-marijuana bill, with the understanding that the Assembly side of the legislature had already passed our bill -- and will continue to pass our bill. All the action is on the Senate side, where MPP is trying to pick up just three or four votes.
600060000GRANTS PROGRAM: MPP Foundation gave a $5,000 donation 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 U.S.

ExplanationThe dollar amounts of MPP Foundation's grants to outside organizations can be easily discerned by reviewing MPP Foundation's QuickBooks records and related bank statements. As for the grantees' eligibility, the MPP Foundation staff determined in advance whether the organizations currently possessed 501(c)(3) tax status. As for the selection criteria, MPP Foundation's executive director is now handpicking the organizations that receive grants, based on his personal knowledge of the various organizations that are working to end marijuana prohibition in the U.S., i.e., there are no formal grant guidelines, nor is there a grant application process.Explanation

F990_P03_S00_L02Form 990, Part III, Line 2MPP Foundation launched a ballot-initiative campaign in Colorado, for the purpose of regulating marijuana like alcohol in Colorado in November 2012. In addition, MPP Foundation conducted an increased amount of legislative analysis and reporting on marijuana-related legislation in the 50 states and D.C., all of which is easily categorized as 501(c)(3) in nature.
F990_P03_S00_L03Form 990, Part III, Line 3MPP Foundation ceased its ballot-initiative activities in Arizona (where we passed our medical-marijuana initiative in November 2010) and Nevada (where we failed to qualify our initiative for the ballot in November 2010). In addition, MPP Foundation essentially ceased its outreach program to celebrities.
F990_P06_S0B_L11bForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bA draft of this Form 990 was meticulously reviewed by the board's treasurer -- as well as submitted to the entire board -- before it was filed.
F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cMPP Foundation's executive director asks every member of the MPP 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 staffer and board member to determine if anyone is violating the conflict-of-interest policy.
F990_P06_S0C_L19Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19MPP Foundation's documents are maintained in the organization's main office in the District of Columbia. The MPP Foundation staff mails the documents to interested persons -- upon request -- via the U.S. Postal Service.
F990_P11_S00_L05Form 990, Part XI, Line 5MPP Foundation repaid a $100,000 loan to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and the remaining $5,222 of the discrepancy in this line item is just because of minor changes to the 2010 accounting that weren't rectified until 2011.

e46000MPP Foundation's debt to MPP increased from $901,000 to $947,000 over the course of 2011.
Marijuana Policy Project
m70000MPP 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 $70,000 figure that's reported here is really just an estimate of the value of resources that were shared; there was no transfer of $70,000 from one organization to the other.
Marijuana Policy Project
n500000MPP 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.
Marijuana Policy Project
r10000MPP rented MPP Foundation's dues-paying membership list for $10,000, 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 100,000 of MPP Foundation's members over the course of all MPP mailings in 2011; instead, MPP mailed to only 50,000 or so.)

ExplanationThe Urban Institute's online form was malfunctioning, with regard to requiring me to ensure that the figure in Part X, column B, line 33 matches the figure in Part XI, line 6. These figures (each of which are negative $788,329) actually did match each other, so I had to do some massaging of another figure to finally "convince" the online form that my original figures were correct. Everything now matches perfectly, but now this form is 13 days late. I respectfully request forgiveness.Explanation
