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.
Re: work proxies, one of our computer systems at work had a proxy that blocked PhishTracks and Phish.in'. But after chatting with IT, it came to light that it was a stupid system that blocked those sites because they contained the word "phish", and thus could be associated with "phishing" attacks. I asked IT to whitelist those sites because they were legitimate, legal, streaming sites, and I can listen to whatever music I want in the privacy of my own office. They tweaked the proxy policy for me, though that was just on one particular system (the standard system doesn't block those sites thankfully). It's worth asking your IT support if they'll throw you a bone...
Re: 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET MJM drop, we have had later MJMs in the past (though only randomly and sporadically), and I know many folks like the early MJM because it's a nice thing to do in the background while at work, and it also gives folks more time to work on the MJM before I drop the answer. That said, I'm not philosophically opposed to a later start time, at least from time to time, so let's do next week's at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. I'll try to mix in some later drops maybe once a month, but will do so with some forewarning, as I know many folks *really* like the fact that I've been dropping them at the exact same time each and every Monday. (and they like the particular time I drop it). Sound good?
