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.

Wow.
That's extremely radical.
And the most insulting statement towards the members of Phish and their music that I have EVER seen.
Even the patronizing articles from the mainstream rock press in the 90's acknowledged that Phish created music that its fans took seriously, not some sort of disposable party soundtrack that is not worth ever hearing again, or taking seriously in any way.
For those of us who don't need a rock concert environment in order to enjoy Phish, we'll continue to listen to lots of it, and seek out the best stuff. If you don't want to watch adults compare shows as if they're worth something, then don't read the Phish.net blog...man.
