Dear Colleagues,

After two years of service since the last fund drive in 2012, and many new
developments, The LINGUIST List is asking for your help again.

During only the last two years we have posted more than 10,000 issues. We have
more than 25,000 subscribers to the list. Per MONTH more than 200,000
individual visitors read your posts on the LINGUIST List page. In the year
2013 the LINGUIST List website had more than 1,200,000 unique visitors and
more than 5,000,000 visits. More than 100 million hits per year have reached
our servers, and almost 6 TB of content have been sent out to the world. All
job advertisements, book announcements or reviews have been disseminated via
Twitter. News and information has been made available on the LINGUIST blog and
social media like Facebook or Google+. This was an exciting time, and we are
looking forward to provide you with more opportunities and ways to find out
about conferences, internships, jobs, or new publications.

As you all know, the last LINGUIST fund drive was in 2012. Fund Drive 2014 is
finally coming up.

We are asking you for your help. The LINGUIST List is a community funded
organization. It is made possible by your donations and support. Your
donations support directly the student editors who make sure that your
postings are send out in time and published on the web. The LINGUIST List does
not receive any state or government support, it is made possible by
volunteers, supporting publishers, paid job advertisements, and in particular
your generous donations and the numerous student editors. You make The
LINGUIST List possible.

Please join us on a new journey around the globe in the next weeks. The
TraveLing pages are up. We hope that you will enjoy the trip, and please do
support LINGUIST List.

The LINGUIST team has prepared the web pages that will enable your TraveLing
at the following URL:

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2014/

New information and pages might emerge there during the fund drive, many
surprises can be expected. The LINGUIST team has prepared some exciting stuff.
Please stay tuned.

Let me point out some new features: We provide a new additional PayPal
donation interface on the fund drive page. This method allows you to donate
directly to the eLinguistics Foundation (an American 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization) that is set up to support the LINGUIST List student editors.

Thank you for your help and support.

Best Wishes,

Damir

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $75,000. 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 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, PayPal 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!
