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.
Phish also informed my life and own (non-musical) philosophy in the 90s by their uncompromising dedication to hard work, high quality and "continuous improvement", as well as in the economically bleak recent years of this era forcing me as well to reinvent myself at at age I would have previously considered "retiring" and "picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and starting all over again", as you put it. It's been a wild ride.
Thank you, Phish, thank you friends, especially my touring companions over the years and each of my wonderful friends and colleagues who make the Mockingbird Foundation and this web site tick.
A happy and healthy New Year to all!
