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.
I think Phish loves all of this, including the woo-ing. It's another way (and one I bet they didn't see coming at all) that the fans can interact with and directly affect the music. As a performer who is essentially naked on that huge stage, (especially Fishman back in the old days), that woo-ing must make the Phish feel fantastic.
