Dear Colleagues,

My name is Malgosia Cavar. I am a linguist. I am one of you. I started reading
grammar books for fun and pleasure at the age of 11, and – after shortly
considering a career as a psychologist – I became a linguist, and since then I
have been happy to convey the linguistic good news to the innocent out there.
The LINGUIST List has been with me since my student years more than 10 years
ago. The jobs I have applied for were announced over the LINGUIST List, and
when I plan my conference schedule, I check the LINGUIST List database first.
I can hardly function professionally without the LINGUIST List.

For the last two years I have another reason why I cannot imagine my
professional life without the LINGUIST List. I have the honor to be a part of
the Institute for Language Information and Technology (ILIT) at EMU, the home
of the LINGUIST List, where since Fall 2012 I have run MultiTree, a sister
project of the LINGUIST List, and participated in the operations of the
LINGUIST List itself.

We work hard to provide the service you are used to, so that no linguist is
left without the information about the conferences they want to attend, or the
deadlines for abstracts they want to submit, the jobs they want to apply for,
the books they might have overlooked, if not announced over the LINGUIST List.
But we can offer more than that. This year we plan to bring to you a number of
new services and innovative features that we in the LINGUIST’s office are all
excited about - but we need your support.

We know you are there. We know that we have on average 200,000 unique visitors
per month on our web pages. Many of you live outside of the United States, and
especially for you, I want to stress again - the LINGUIST List is not
state-funded, nor does it have official institutional sponsors apart from the
Eastern Michigan University. Please make a donation. Even small donations will
help significantly.

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!
