This non-profit organization of Phish fans is an unconventional organization, with no salaries, paid staff, office space, or endowment. No member or volunteer benefits financially from the Foundation in any way, and all proceeds from Mockingbird projects are donated to tax-exempt organizations. All net proceeds are donated to music education for children.
