I don’t ever do this- but my stay at the Moon Palace Resort this weekend was one of the WORST experiences of my life. My idea of a relaxing vacation does not include dreadlocks, drugs or 5000 dissociating hippies dancing outside of my hotel room until 4 in the morning. Here’s how the perfect week can be completely destroyed by a band from Vermont, and their cult-like followers.
The all-volunteer Mockingbird Foundation has announced a special series of grants to organizations that submitted inquiries for our 30th Round of competitive funding. We pulled all requests for $2K or less, ushered them through an expedited due diligence review, and are now announcing 13 grants totaling $17,800, in advance of Round 30 grants, which will be announced June 15th.
This is the third year Mockingbird has offered these Finch Funds, identifying an array of smaller requests that could make a big difference, and funding them quickly. These newest grants support programs at schools, community centers, and non-profit organizations in 12 states (including two in Georgia). The full list is on mbird.org.
With this announcement, Mockingbird has now made 729 grants nationwide. Before this summer is over, that number will reach 750 and the total will top $2.6M, thanks to the generous support of Phish fans. We hope that you will consider making a tax-deductible donation through the Foundation’s website at www.mbird.org so that we can continue to increase the percentage of applicants whom we are ultimately able to fund.
