Subject: How much does LINGUIST need to run? 
 

Fund Drive 2005 is now on! Visit http://linguistlist.org/donate.html to donate now!

Dear Subscribers,

$49,000 is a lot of money to ask for and you may well be wondering what we do
with it all. The biggest cost by far on LINGUIST is for the Graduate Assistants
who run the List. Each year we have to find the money to pay their stipends and
tuition in order for LINGUIST to keep running; without the GAs the list would
grind to a halt, and without the money there would be no GAs.

At Eastern Michigan University, the basic cost of tuition for a resident GA,
based on the figures for 2005 is $9000.  That's for a resident. As an
international website that acts as a hub for worldwide linguistics, LINGUIST
needs (and wants) to have international students on staff. As you are more than
likely aware, universities generally charge more for foreign students. The
current tuition for a foreign  student is $13,000.

And then we have the Graduate Assistant stipend. GA's get $8,500 the first year
and $9,000 the second year, that's a total of $17,500 that has to be found to
feed, cloth and house each of the LINGUIST students.

This stipend, however only covers the Fall and Winter semesters - as you know
linguistics is a year-round operation and LINGUIST List does not shut down
during Spring and Summer. In fact, this period is very busy for us. So we have
to employ students on an hourly rate. So at a rate of $11 an hour at 20 hours a
week, for ten of the twenty week period, this would total $2,200. International
students are not allowed to work off campus due to visa restrictions, so they do
need to get paid in order to stay here.

The estimated grand annual cost for a GA to work on LINGUIST List, therefore, is
$24,000 for a resident and $29,000 for a non-resident. Out of our 19-member
current staff, 11 are GAs, either at Eastern Michigan University or Wayne State
University. Seven are resident and 4 international - that's an estimate of
$179,600 - a scary sum to come up with.

Of course, we look for funding not only from the generosity of our subscribers,
but also a variety of places to cover a big chunk of this bill. But due to
cutbacks in state allocation of funds, we cannot expect much internal support
this year. This will leave a big hole in our budget.

Please help us fill this hole! We hope that the services we provide are useful
to you as linguists. If you will donate, we can maintain services that are
accessible to everyone and free of charge.

This Year the LINGUIST List hope to raise $48,867. This money will go to help
keep the List running, by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU
Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST,
without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your
company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
