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.
In addition, as a longtime 3.0 advocate of the late second set 2001, it is interesting to note that at this point, a little bit of my soul dies with every 7-ish minute version of this song. I think this says a lot about Phish's improvement curve. What was a reliable highlight or even an oasis circa 2010 - 2012 can now feel more like a missed opportunity for extended danceable improvisation.
And of course, anal karma.
It's rare and refreshing when so many of us can agree on the clear message of the music phish performs for us. Huzzah!
