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.

Honorable mention:
1998-04-04 - Also Sprach Zarathustra (hard to choose between this and the 2010-06-25, but I just really think their ability to thread two great Michael Jackson songs into it seamlessly is an incredible accomplishment. And honestly, that whole set has contenders. That Birds of a Feather is wonderful.)
1997-11-17 - Tweezer (Could easily beat Tahoe-weezer. Both are incredible.)
1997-11-17 - Ghost (Hard to pick this second among Ghosts, but I think it is.)

There's a lot of great stuff in December '95. But my attention keeps getting pulled back to 97-00 and the last couple of years. I actually think their jamming is better, in general, from 97 to present. The really crazy stuff they did before 95 is interesting, but I think their jamming started to fit together musically a lot better once things came together in 97.
Also, honestly, it's hard to always feel one way about a lot of jams. As I evolve, my tastes change. Though, I still think 11/14/1995 Stash is an incredible achievement in music history.
I'm for electing a first class now, and a second class down the road, and so on. Some greats may not make it in this time, but are surely deserving.
Bring on the best sets wing.
