The Mockingbird Foundation
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 $1,000,000 to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
We have learned that crowdsourcing a breaking story doesn't work. Remember the Boston Bomber Reddit debacle?
We have learned that anonymous sources are only appropriate for whistleblowers and serious investigative journalism.
We are aware of the phenomenon of social media accounts being hacked.
We have learned that there are people who will create hoaxes for attention, as left wingers trying to create anti-racist narratives, and as right-wingers trying to create victimology narratives.
We have learned that conspiracy theories about the media serve the forces of darkness.
Some of us have learned more than others.
