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.
To address some specific comments for future lists - we could potentially offer a version that just has upvotes and no downvotes (personally I prefer including downvotes, but I understand the argument against it). It's something that we've already comped out and were planning to offer at some point. In the very very near term, maybe as soon as next week, we'll be launching a version that you can "rerank" from and a link to your personal lists would save to the widget on phish.net.
Oh and btw my personal 2cents on the list - I haven't had time to listen to the majority of these jams yet, but I do agree that the Holly Hood (the only show of this tour I caught), excellent as it was, is probably a bit high. But of course that's what makes opinion-based rankings so interesting . . .
