"What does the word Tonantzin mean?"
This word is from the Aztec language of Nahuatl. Different meanings have been assigned from “Our Revered Mother”, “Mother of Corn” and more. In Mexican culture Tonantzin is considered analogous to Our Lady of Guadalupe the Patroness of the Americas.

"Is the Tonantzin Society a non-profit organization?"
Yes. The Society utilizes the 501c3 status of the Topeka Community Foundation.  The Foundation acts as our fiscal agent.  All our board members and others that assist with the events, are all volunteer.  The only exception to this is our artistic members at times receive a small stipend for leading after school art workshps or when they are classified as artist in residence.
