The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
(These things don't necessarily organize themselves, as anyone who has sought a hard ticket at a TM or box office onsale under the more typically chaotic "land rush" conditions can attest...and the Flynn did this without wristbands, lotteries or need for multiple line-ups, often the case for such tough tickets).
I asked a friend who works at the Flynn on FB how they pulled this off, and she said "... credit where credit is due, Green Mountain Concert Services did a great job with crowd control, as always!".
