Welcome to Season 2, Episode 15 of "Secondhand Talent: The Podcast"!!! We're so happy we're here and so, so incredibly grateful for all of your love and support along the way. On behalf of all of us here at Secondhand Talent, Steiner, Ducky & Steener - WE LOVE YOU, FRANDS!!!
This week Steiner and Ducky have the distinct pleasure of interviewing Ellis Godard, who among many other things is a co-founder and the Executive Director of The Mockingbird Foundation ( @mockingbirdfoundation | mbird.org).
The Mockingbird Foundation broadens access and educational opportunities for young people in music and the musical arts.
The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 to generate charitable proceeds for music education for children. So far, we’ve distributed over $2.3M through 657 unique grants in all 50 states!
Funds are raised through individual and corporate donations; special events, including wine tastings, golf tournaments, art exhibits, and 5K runs; special projects, including The Phish Companion (the definitive encyclopedia about the band), and Sharin’ in the Groove (a wildly successful two-disc tribute album); unique donation premiums and branded merchandise available from our Store and elsewhere; and through various strategic partnerships, including a portion of LivePhish proceeds as well as third-party benefit events.
The Mockingbird Foundation has no salaries, paid staff, office space, or endowment — thus distributing all possible funds to charity. No director or volunteer benefits financially from the Foundation in any way, and all proceeds from Mockingbird projects are donated to tax-exempt organizations. And since we’re entirely volunteer administrative costs are less than 5% of revenues!
Feel free to reach out to us at secondhandtalent@gmail.com or DM us on IG to be on the show!!!
With "Secondhand Talent", we want to devote a platform to taking moments to shine the spotlight on those that manage the spotlights. We want to use this platform to highlight some of our incredible colleagues in the industry whose names you might otherwise never hear. Thank you for joining us - come along, stay a while!
