Recursos de Santa Fe is the non-profit foundation and fiscal sponsor for Awakening In Taos, making all charitable donations tax deductible.

The fight for women’s right to vote in elections is known as the ‘suffragette movement’. By the end of the 19th century, this had become a worldwide movement, and the words ‘feminism’ and ‘feminist movement’ started to be used.

Mabel was an early adopter in the first wave of feminism that resulted in women gaining the right to vote. Because of her independence, wealth and influence she became a living example of the “New Woman”.

Young women today take for granted the freedoms that women like Mabel fought hard to win. She was also a champion for Native American Rights, fighting to break down the social stereotyping, prejudice against interracial relationships that allowed non-natives to exploit and suppress first nation peoples.

Awakening in Taos has already reached hundreds of thousands of viewers in our first 200 broadcasts. This new opportunity we are funding is expected to enjoy 2000 to 5000 broadcasts. Your support for our project will bring this unique history to the attention of millions of PBS viewers.

To complete this film we just need to raise another $5,000. We can do this!

Some people just can't afford to contribute financially at this time. If you'd like to help support us, please invite your friends. Everything helps! We appreciate your support.

Direct payments to our non profit arts foundation: Not everyone is comfortable with online financial transactions. We encourage backers to make their donations online here to be added into the total Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Several donors have chosen to mail in checks payable directly to Recursos de Santa Fe, our fiscal agent. Mail to Recursos de Santa Fe, 518 Old Santa Fe Trail #277, Santa Fe,NM 87505
