Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

In my role as Managing Editor, one of the most valuable lessons I've gained 
is how to guide linguists to resources that are relevant to their needs. 
The LINGUIST List has such incredible potential to provide opportunities 
for all linguists. Not just for Americans. Not just for people who can 
afford an annual membership fee. For everyone. This is why our services are 
freely accessible to the public, and why we must ask for donations in order 
to continue:

Perhaps you're wondering what LINGUIST can offer you. No matter who you are, 
where you're from, or what your interests are, if you have something to 
announce to the linguistics community, we want to help you find the right 
forum to share it! Want people to know that there's a conference on 
Ukrainian? We can announce this in our Conferences area. Want to inform 
students of an applied linguistics fellowship in China? We can post this 
for you in our Support section. If you're not sure where your information 
'fits', we have a hardworking team of editors specialized to help you find 
the best classification.  

For this fund drive, I want to show you how to best utilize our site. Along 
with sending out messages about our office, we'll also send out a series of 
messages that organize our resources for specific demographics, such as 
students, conference organizers, institutions, or job-seekers.  So we hope 
you'll keep reading our messages or following us on social media; you may 
find something you're looking for. 

We work hard to connect linguists and ideas from all over the world, and to 
promote the discipline as a whole. We're going to continue to work hard to 
find new ways of making LINGUIST as user-friendly and beneficial to you as 
possible. But to do that, we need your help. Please donate today:

Best regards,

Elyssa Winzeler
Managing Editor

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!
