Company Overview

With more than 23,000 dues-paying members and more than 100,000 e-mail subscribers, the Marijuana Policy Project is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States. Incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1995, MPP works to minimize the harm associated with marijuana — both the consumption of marijuana and the laws that are intended to prohibit such use.

MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison. To this end, MPP focuses on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors.

What is MPP like to work for?
Saying we're fast-paced would be putting it lightly. We're passionate about being productive and effective. Doing what we do, and doing it the way we do it, is not easy, so we tend to be very selective about the people we hire. Our staff is composed of smart, driven, detail-oriented, thoughtful people. Being willing to work hard is a requirement.

Ultimately, we're all about performance and getting things done. Philanthropist Peter Lewis (chairman of Progressive Corp.) calls MPP "among the best-managed of philanthropic organizations I support." Please check out some of our accomplishments here.
