Educational Grants
Mockingbird Foundation
The
Mockingbird Foundation, created to celebrate the music of Phish and the spirit of their fans, offers grants to schools and nonprofit organizations that provide music education for children. The geographic focus is on the United States, with an interest in geographic diversity throughout the country. The organization is particularly interested in projects that encourage creative expression in all musical forms, including composition, instrumentation, vocalization and improvisation. The foundation gives priority to projects serving children 18 years or younger, but will also consider projects that benefit college students, teachers/instructors, or adult students, especially disenfranchised groups. Online letters of inquiry are due February 1 and August 1, annually. Visit the Mockingbird Foundation link above for more information.

The
Georgia-Pacific Foundation supports a wide range of nonprofit organizations that improve the quality of life in communities where Georgia-Pacific operates, and where company employees live and work. (A map of the Georgia-Pacific locations is

The organization has identified the following key grant-making areas: education, with a focus on job training; community enrichment, including housing and the arts; environment, with an emphasis on recycling and clean air programs; and entrepreneurship, specifically partnerships with K-12 schools and women-owned and minority small businesses. Grant applications are accepted between January 1 and October 31, annually. Visit the Georgia-Pacific Foundation link above for more information.
