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 get that it's not cool if you don't have an unlimited data plan or a good wifi setup, but I listen to almost everything streaming so I've never had any use for codes and stopped collecting shows when people staring using CD's instead of Maxell tapes and checking Andy Gadiel's website for setlists was a thing.
Between LivePhish and PhishOD there's no need for me personally to "own" any shows offline. Except for when I go out of the country or times where I'm off the grid in the corn fields or hunting adults with Issac.
The more active users the LivePhish app accrues the more it will be invested in and better it will become over time. And all the soundboards that exist will be there someday so might as well surrender to the flow fam.
Remember, your offline Phish show collection has always been up to you to forage autonomously.
