THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S WEB SITE, WE RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THESE PEOPLE ARE FACING TODAY DUE TO THEIR RAPIDLY CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THE WEBSITE WILL AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES AND ADD WEIGHT TO THEIR OPINIONS AND CONCERNS. OUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, GIVES THE PUBLIC ACCESS TO IMAGES OF AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF THEIR TRADITIONAL, SACRED, AND CONTEMPORARY ART AS WELL AS PUBLISHING NEWS ON RELEVANT CURRENT EVENTS. THE INITIAL WORK THE WIXARIKA RESEARCH CENTER CONSISTS OF PRESERVING PHOTOGRAPHS, DOCUMENTS, TAPE RECORDINGS AND IMAGES OF SACRED, TRADITIONAL, AND CONTEMPORARY ART, COLLECTED OR PHOTOGRAPHED BY JUAN AND YVONNE NEGRIN FROM 1970 TO PRESENT. THE PAPER ARCHIVES BEING DIGITALIZED INCLUDE COPIES OF DOCUMENTS AND NEWS REPORTS PERTAINING TO PAST AND PRESENT LAND DISPUTES, THE EXPLOITATION OF THE WIXARIKA PEOPLE'S NATURAL RESOURCES, AND COMMUNITY DOCUMENTS AND PETITIONS DRAWN UP AT THEIR GENERAL ASSEMBLIES. HUNDREDS OF COLOR TRANSPARENCIES TAKEN BY JUAN & YVONNE NEGRIN ARE BEING SCANNED IN HIGH RESOLUTION FOR PRESERVATION. THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE THE WIXARIKA COMMUNITIES RARELY PERMITTED CAMERAS TO BE USED TO CAPTURE THEIR WAY OF LIFE, THEIR CEREMONIES, OR THEIR SACRED SPOTS BY OUTSIDERS. AN EXCEPTION WAS MADE IN THE CASE OF THE NEGRN'S BECAUSE OF THEIR DEDICATED WORK IN DEFENDING THE LAND AND RESOURCES OF THE WIXARIKA PEOPLE AND THE NON-PROFIT NATURE OF THE WORK THEY CARRIED OUT OVER SEVERAL DECADES. THE TAPE RECORDINGS TO BE CONVERTED INTO DIGITAL FORMAT CONSIST OF SACRED CHANTS, ORAL HISTORY AS RECOUNTED BY THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS, TRADITIONAL MUSIC, COMMUNITY ASSEMBLIES AND INTERVIEWS. PRESENTLY THE TAPES ARE ON CASSETTES AND THE DIGITAL CONVERSION IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THIS IMPORTANT BODY OF WORK. BETWEEN MAY AND SEPTEMBER OF 2012, HANS MICHAEL JANTZEN CONTINUED TO DONATE THREE EIGHT HOUR DAYS PER WEEK TO WORKING WITH YVONNE NEGRN ON THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PHOTO ARCHIVES OF JUAN NEGRN. DURING THIS TIME THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDES FROM EACH ROLL OF FILM WERE SCANNED IN HIGH RESOLUTION. THE DIGITAL PHOTO ARCHIVE NOW NUMBERS MORE THAN 1,000 IMAGES OF CEREMONIES, SACRED SITES AND PILGRIMAGES. THE CENTER FOR THE ARTS, RELIGION, AND EDUCATION, BERKELEY, CA AWARDED US A GRANT TO HELP COVER THE COST OF THE DIGITALIZATION OF MORE THAN 100 AUDIO CASSETTES OF DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN JUAN NEGRN AND FIVE HUICHOL/WIXRIKA ARTISTS REGARDING THE MEANING OF THEIR PAINTINGS. OTHER RECORDINGS BEING PRESERVED IN DIGITAL FORMAT ARE OF INTERVIEWS WITH ELDERS REGARDING MYTHOLOGY AND ORAL HISTORY. THIS WORK IS ONGOING AND SELECTED RECORDINGS WILL EVENTUALLY BE UPLOADED TO OUR WEBSITE. IN OCTOBER, JUAN NEGRN AND GERARDO RUIZ SMITH TRAVELED TO THE WIXRIKA SIERRAS TO ATTEND THE COMMUNITY OF TUAPURIE'S GENERAL ASSEMBLY WHERE OUR FOUNDATION RECEIVED A FORMAL WRITTEN REQUEST TO HELP THE COMMUNITY SEEK FUNDING TO BUILD A SOLAR WOOD DRYING OVEN AND TO HELP THEM DESIGN AN ECO- FORESTRY PROGRAM TO EDUCATE THEIR YOUTH IN FORESTRY CONSERVATION, THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF THEIR FORESTRY RESOURCES, AND REFORESTATION. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE COMMUNITY'S REQUEST BASED ON THE FOUNDATION'S PURPOSE OF PROMOTING THE PRESERVATION OF WIXRIKA CULTURE AND AUTONOMY WHICH THIS WORK CLEARLY WILL DO. IN FEBRUARY OF 2013 GERARDO RUIZ SMITH MADE A SECOND TRIP TO THE SIERRAS FOR CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND TO MEET WITH A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUADALAJARA WHO DESIGNED A SOLAR WOOD DRYING OVEN THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY UTILIZED IN REMOTE AREAS OF MEXICO FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE WIXRIKA RESEARCH CENTER AND THE UNIVERSITY OF GUADALAJARA AGREED TO COORDINATE ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WOOD DRYING SOLAR OVEN AND TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING TO THE COMMUNITY WHERE NEEDED.

| IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTest | 0 | FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE, CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT. IN AN EFFORT TO GENERATE PUBLIC SUPPORT, THE ORGANIZATION SENDS OUT AN ANNUAL LETTER TO SOLICIT DONATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION ALSO ANNUALLY SENDS AN E-MAIL REQUESTING DONATIONS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO RECEIVE THE ORGANIZATION'S ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER. FINALLY, THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE OFFERS EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATIONS, GREETING CARDS, AND T-SHIRTS IN EXCHANGE FOR DONATIONS. ALTHOUGH DURING THE 2012 TAX YEAR, THE MAJORITY OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SUPPORT CAME FROM ONE VERY GENEROUS INDIVDUAL, THE ORGANIZATION HAS A BASE OF YEARLY DONORS THAT IS GROWING. FROM 2011 TO 2012, THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DONORS GREW FROM ONE TO THREE AND THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE HAS INCREASED TO 18%. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO COUNTS ON A GREAT DEAL OF NON-MONETARY SUPPORT IN THE WAY OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, COMPUTER MAINTENANCE, LEGAL ADVICE, HELP WITH TRANSLATING AND EDITING, REPORTING FROM NGO'S IN THE FIELD AND WIXRIKA PROFESSIONALS AND ELECTED AUTHORITIES WHO KEEP THE ORGANIZATION CURRENT ON EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN MEXICO. THE ORGANIZATION AIMS TO KEEP ACCESS TO THEIR WEBSITE FREE TO THE PUBLIC AND THE IN-KIND DONATIONS ARE THEREFORE OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO THE ORGANIZATION. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: THE FOUNDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FOUNDATION CONTINUE TO ALL BE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN OR DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH THE WIXRIKA NATION FOR MANY DECADES. JUAN NEGRN, DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF THE WIXARIKA RESEARCH CENTER, HAS WORKED IN THE FIELD FOR 41 YEARS AND FOUNDED AND HEADED THREE NGO'S BENEFITING THE WIXRIKA IN MEXICO PRIOR TO RETURNING TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1996. TWO OF THESE NGO'S CONTINUE TO OPERATE PROVIDING IMPORTANT SERVICES TO THE WIXRIKA COMMUNITIES. MR. NEGRN CONTINUES HIS INVESTIGATIVE WORK IN THE FIELD MAKING TRIPS TO THE SIERRAS AND PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY GENERAL ASSEMBLIES. DURING THIS YEAR HE HAS GIVEN A NUMBER OF RADIO INTERVIEWS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF WIRIKUTA FOR THE WIXRIKA PEOPLE. YVONNE NEGRN, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE WIXRIKA RESEARCH CENTER, WAS ACTIVE IN THE FIELD FROM 1970 THROUGH 1996 AND ACTIVELY WORKED WITH FOUR NGO'S IN MEXICO DURING THAT TIME. SHE CONTINUES TO MAKE TRIPS TO MEXICO FROM TIME TO TIME AND IS IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE WIXRIKA AND COLLEAGUES IN THE FIELD. IT IS HER TASK TO KEEP THE WEBSITE NEWS SECTION CURRENT AND TO BUILD NEW PAGES OF EXHIBITS OF FINE AND TRADITIONAL ART. SHE ALSO HANDLES MUCH OF THE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FOUNDATION. DIANA NEGRN, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IS A DOCTORAL CANDIDATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY - DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND A FORD FELLOW AND BANCROFT SCHOLAR. DIANA WAS RAISED FROM BIRTH AROUND THE WIXRIKA PEOPLE AND THE FOCUS OF HER DOCTORAL WORK IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY IS ON WIXRIKA MIGRATIONS, HOW THEY ARE INTEGRATING INTO MEXICO'S URBAN AREAS AS STUDENTS SEEKING A HIGHER EDUCATION, AND THE DIFFICULTIES THEY ENCOUNTER. DIANA HAS SPENT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF HOURS EACH MONTH MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER FOUNDATIONS, SUCH AS THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF NATURE, AND CONTINUES TO SPEND SIGNIFICANT TIME EACH MONTH TRANSLATING DOCUMENTS AND WRITING LETTERS FOR THE FOUNDATION. RICHARD READER, CHIEF MEDIA OFFICER (CMO), HAS HAD AN INTEREST IN THE WIXRIKA SINCE THE MID 1970'S. HE AND HIS WIFE HAVE MAINTAINED FRIENDSHIPS WITH, AND GIVEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO, INDIVIDUAL WIXRIKA AND THEY HAVE TRAVELED TO MEXICO ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN PILGRIMAGES AND TO VISIT THEIR WIXRIKA FRIENDS. MR. READER IS A SPECIALIST IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL NETWORKING AND ADVISES THE FOUNDATION IN HIS AREA OF EXPERTISE. HE IS ON CALL AT ALL TIMES. ANTHONY SOMKIN, M.D., TREASURER, WAS EXTREMELY ACTIVE THIS PAST YEAR AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH PROFESSOR GLEN |
