Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

As the 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 the ability to provide a multitude of features to the linguistic
community without requiring a subscription fee. Without this fee to provide
our services to the entire community, we rely on your donations to keep our
services available to everyone.  Please consider donating again so we can
continue to offer the latest resources in linguistics:

I started working at The LINGUIST List as a volunteer in September 2011 simply
because I wanted to gain some experience in linguistics and network within the
linguistic community. It turned out that later I was offered a position as a
student worker, then as a graduate assistant, and now, as the managing editor.
I know that I would not have been offered these opportunities had it not been
for your donations in past fund drives.

During this past year, our office has been able to work in redesigning project
websites. Most recently we were able to release a beta-edition of MultiTree
(http://ltl.emich.edu/multitree) and have been able to begin the
infrastructure for the new LINGUIST List website! We are excited to be working
on this and we are relying on your donations more than ever to allow us to
show results from our current and future staff.

If you donate today, you will ensure that our services for the linguistic
community will continue, as well as support the work of students like myself.
I greatly appreciate any donations that ensure more students will have the
same opportunities that I had.

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Sarah Fox

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!
