Dear Subscribers,

The LINGUIST List relies on the generous support of donors to stay up and
running. Do your part now:

Why you should donate.

The LINGUIST List gives you awesome tools. For free. The LINGUIST List lets
you know what’s going on in the discipline through its announcement service,
including job & internship listings, book reviews, conference announcements,
and paper publications. The LINGUIST List also helps you get your work done by
offering services like Easy Registration for conference organization, and
creating research tools like MultiTree, an interactive visualization of
language relationships and subgroupings.

These free tools and resources help researchers, teachers, students, and the
general public learn more about the nature and function of language.

The LINGUIST List funds students.

Donations go directly to the funding the linguistic students that keep the
LINGUIST List up and running. These students maintain the database and
website, organize and post thousands of announcements annually, and help
create research tools in addition to their coursework to complete advanced
degrees in linguistics (and anything else life throws them).

Why I'm asking you to donate.

I’m a former crew member and Managing Editor of The LINGUIST List. I’m
currently a technical writer at Google, and I wouldn’t be doing it without
what I learned at (and from) The LINGUIST List. My education and experience
informs what I do everyday (notably fighting the good fight against the
surprising number of prescriptivists I meet!).

Donate to support what the LINGUIST List does for all of us and to support the
students that make it happen.

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!
