Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

The ideology behind LINGUIST is that the collective 
contributions of a community in a field such as 
linguistics can accomplish more than any individual 
could alone. This is hardly a novel concept, but 
LINGUIST applies this notion to every submission, 
page and project it develops. We collect submissions 
on jobs, conferences, publication information, 
funding opportunities, and other relevant questions 
or announcements to linguistics, and have found a 
way to make them accessible to everyone through emails 
and our website. Our success is due to the incredible 
number of linguists who share their information with 
the LINGUIST community, and each individual who 
subscribes or uses our site daily.

Every contribution is valuable, and the more people 
who participate in our efforts, the greater a service 
we can provide for everyone. Our Fund Drive follows 
the same principle. It is impossible for one non-profit 
organization to maintain the amount of valuable 
information we host and distribute without the donations 
of others. Even $5 or $10 helps make the work that we 
do possible. Small contributions add up quickly when 
everyone works together- it's that simple. 

Ultimately, we believe that the services we provide 
belong to everyone, regardless of what they can or 
cannot afford to donate. This is why we continue to 
make everything we do available to the public without 
mandatory membership fees. But in order to do this, 
we rely on your support. No matter how 'small' you 
may feel your role is, your donation is a vital part 
of what makes LINGUIST great. 

Please donate today:

Best regards,

Elyssa Winzeler

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

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!
