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.
This second set didn't even pretend to jam: this was an exercise in execution within the small confines of a half-filled venue. It was weird--a second set that didn't let me dance. I left the show at the opening notes of Tide Turns--confirmation that this set would not escape "jukebox" mode--and while puzzled by the experience (first zero jam show) was happy with what I saw and accepted it for what it was--last chance to warm up before the Vegas shows. The problem, I guess, is that I'm part of that cadre of fans who attends 1-3 shows a year and attend solely for the improvisational brilliance--not a smattering of ballads. I was left simply imagining the unexplored potential of a tiny venue and attentive audience--an opportunity that the band clearly views differently than its fans.
