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.
I love seeing how this developed out of a really excellent Forum post.
I thought this section, in particular, was quite notable, and really resonated with me:
“... the obsession with darkness, in a way, is a young man’s game; while it usually remains my personal preference, it also better captures a period in life when you’ve yet to actually come to grips with how quickly the light really does slip away, how precious those moments of pure bliss are, and how special organic connections...truly are.”
Thanks for sharing these thoughts and insights.
