Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE MISSISSIPPI INDEPENDENT PACKAGE STORES ASSOCIATION (MIPSA) HAS WORKED TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS WITH EXISTING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS, RESEARCH POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS, AND ADVANCE A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. MIPSA'S BOARD HAS WORKED WITH THE MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, MS ABC, CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICERS FOR OTHER CONTROL STATES AND PRIVATE DISTRIBUTORS, AND LEADERS OF SIMILAR TRADE GROUPS IN OTHER STATES. AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF THE METHODS BEING EMPLOYED IN OTHER STATES, MIPSA WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE STATE TO CRAFT A UNIQUE PLAN UTILIZING THE BEST ELEMENTS FROM THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS. MIPSA'S STRATEGY GAINED BROAD SUPPORT FROM OTHER ASSOCIATIONS REPRESENTING BROKERS, RESTAURANTS, AND CASINOS. THE RESULT OF MIPSA'S HARD WORK IS A NEW 65+ MILLION DOLLAR STATE-OF-THE-ART ABC WAREHOUSE WHERE THE STATE REMAINS OBLIGATED TO ENSURE EVEN PRICING FOR ALL RETAILERS WHILE OUTPUT IS MAXIMIZED WITH PRIVATE TECHNOLOGY, PRIVATE EQUIPMENT, AND PRIVATE LABOR! TO CLARIFY THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS DESIGN, THIS MARRIAGE OF PUBLIC LEGAL CONTROL WITH PRIVATE LABOR AND TECHNOLOGY HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN THIS WAY. MIPSA IS INDEBTED TO ITS MEMBERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT THAT RESULTED IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED ACCOMPLISHMENT.
