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.
Our love for the band enables them to avoid doing something that literally every single other huge band has to do - spend millions on marketing. All they need to do is announce a tour and we happily do the marketing for them and buy up the tickets instantly. This creates an incredible overhead for them that no other band enjoys. In return, their partnership with nugs.net comes across as ill-advised at best and a money-grab at worst. As a fanbase, we have proven that when Phish gives, we give right back. They need to stop partnering with a company that's only interesting in taking. It's not a very Phishy thing to do.
