Subject:  How much is a subscription worth? - A message from Baden Hughes

How much is a subscription to The Linguist List worth ?

Most comparable web sites with membership programs charge upwards of
$50 per year to access the same depth, breadth and quality of
information that the Linguist List provides for free. I'm sure a lot
of us pay for these services, and use them far less often than we do
The Linguist List (I know I do, that's for sure).

Thinking about it, if The Linguist List had to commercially provide
its services, you can be sure the operating cost would be more than
the $48,000 pa that's currently required. An estimate of several
hundred thousand dollars would probably be closer to the mark - the
real commercial costs of The Linguist List would only start with web
hosting, web site development, programming, and editorial staff. This
alone would raise the cost of a subscription from "free" to a
significant amount.

So, how much is an annual subscription to The Linguist List worth ?
It's probably a debatable point.

Certainly it's worth donating to the annual fund drive, which allows
the folks at The Linguist List to provide these resources for free to
the wider linguistic community.

... and if you live in the United States, the LINGUIST List is even
more of a bargain, because not only can you subscribe for free, but
you can also donate for free.

How does this work?  Because LINGUIST List is part of an educational
institution, we qualify as a 501(c) organization to receive
tax-deductible donations.  Therefore your taxes are reduced by the
amount you choose to donate to us.

So if you donate $30, it won't cost you anything.  If you donate $100,
it still won't cost you anything.  Just ask us for a tax receipt when
you donate.

But that's not all: a lot of employers have a matching donation
scheme, whereby they match whatever donation you make to a charity
like us.  They can claim back the tax too, so your donation is
doubled.  So now you've donated $60, or $200, and yet it still hasn't
cost you anything.

The LINGUIST List does not receive any government stipend for its
daily operations, for posting issues, for maintaining the web site.
But by using tax schemes such as these, you are determining exactly
how you want your taxes to be spent.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone listed below, we have now
collected $42,470.  If you have not donated yet, please do so, and
help us reach our target of $48,000.

You can send us your pledge by going to
http://linguistlist.org/donate.html.  From there you have the choice
of donating straight away by credit card using our secure form, or you
can send us a cheque later.  If you do send a cheque, please make it
payable in US dollars; we get charged about $50 a time (sic!) to
convert currency (no such problems with a credit card).

Alternatively, you can hit "Reply" to this message and send us your
pledge right now by email, prior to sending your cheque.  Then we will
be able to list you immediately as one of our donors; and we may be
able to reach our goal (and halt these Fund Drive messages) a bit
earlier.  The address to send cheques is as follows:

The LINGUIST Editorial Support Fund
c/o Helen Aristar-Dry
Dept. of English
Eastern Michigan University
Ypsilanti, MI
USA 48197

Remember!  As a 501(c)3 organization, LINGUIST qualifies for corporate
donation-matching programs; and, of course, your donation is tax
deductible.

Don't forget that in return for a donation of $25 or more, we would
like to send you a gift.  If you can never decide what you're going to
wear in the morning, why not get some LINGUIST List clothing and make
the choice easy?  Perfect attire for all occasions, you'll now be able
to devote your morning decision-making to what to have for breakfast.
There are short-sleeved and long-sleeved T-shirts and sweatshirts, so
you'll never be defeated by the day's weather forecast.  Do go to
http://linguistlist.org/premiums.html to see what we have to offer.
Remember to let us know in your pledge what you would like.

We at LINGUIST really do appreciate your support.  We could not
continue without you.

With our sincere thanks,

The LINGUIST Crew:

Anthony, Helen, Andrew, Karen, Naomi, Heather, James, Michael,
Zhen-Wei, Richard, Karolina, Dina, Renee, Steve, Marie, Gayathri,
John, Ljuba, Terry, Simin, Tomoko.
