Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

As many of you know, our subscribers number in the tens of thousands,
while we here at LINGUIST List are few. Fortunately, we also have our
wonderful advisors to aid and guide us. Our advisors give us helpful
feedback and act as a sounding board for new initiatives and developments
here at The LINGUIST List. This year, they have also pledged to give
$4,000 if YOU--yes, that's all of our subscribers--can double it!

Can you help us double their pledge of $4000?

Will you help them invest in our future? We believe that with enough
support through your donations, we can continue to realize the dream of
being a freely available, open resource for the worldwide linguistic
community.

https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Our small group of advisors has pledged to donate $4000 if the thousands
of people who visit our site each day can double this and donate $8000.
While we could fill a large stadium with all of you who visit our site, our
advisors don't even fill a classroom! And yet they stand before you with this
challenge, daring LINGUIST's thousands of subscribers to match the
donations of just a few heroic people.

Can you meet this challenge? We think you can-- give what you can now, and
let's see if you can contribute $8,000 in 48 hours to END our 2012 fund drive!

Sincerely,
The LINGUIST List Crew

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming
year.

Drive 2012 site!

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

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/donation/

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!
