Please note that the Foundation is all-volunteer, including the Board of Directors, and is not supported by any paid staff or employees. There are no salaries, honoraria, or any other forms of compensation.

Our Mission:
The Mockingbird Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization of Phish fans, founded to raise money for charity. The original project was the compilation of the most factually accurate and delightfully literary book on Phish's music available, with contributions from as many fans as possible. The Foundation now produces a wider range of resources and diversions for fans, including a Phish cover album. No member or volunteer benefits financially from the Foundation in any way, and all proceeds from Mockingbird projects are donated to tax-exempt organizations. The Foundation's primary purpose is charitable, out of love for and thanks to Phish for their inspiring music.

The Mockingbird Foundation is an unconventional organization: it has no salaries, paid staff, office space, or endowment -- thus distributing all possible funds to charity. It exists almost exlcusively online, using the Internet to avoid travel and other expenses typically associated with grant-making entities. The Foundation has earned 501(c)3 tax-exempt status from Internal Revenue Service, thus making donations tax-deductible. Such contributions to the Foundation are applied directly to the next round of regular grants in the funding cycle.
