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.
[raises hand] I got in to Phish via the prog rock angle and because I liked their short "pop" songs like Waste, Sleep and so on. I had avoided them for years because of their "Grateful Dead clones who jam for 20 minutes" rep, but I stumbled across Bittersweet Motel on cable one night and what drew me in was Trey playing Sleep in his garage. "Oh, they have a good songwriting thing going on, OK".
It takes all kinds of phans, doesn't it?
