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.

It was this article and interview more than anything else that led to a severe case of the drainbows. It's not that I want a flag to wave, or one show to hold up to the canon as fodder for "Greatest Evah!"
I just want them to live up to these words:
