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 think @MOMENTSANDSECONDS has got it right. If Phish come to Dick's as a true tour closer, they are more likely to carry the fire than if they allow a couple of weeks or more to pass.
Now that I think about it, I'm wondering if those early 3.0 tours, with two legs, might provide a good comparison...
