Dear subscribers,

I am Xiyan Wang from China. I graduated with my M.A. in Linguistics in April
2013 and continued my editing work at LINGUIST List until now.
In addition to the data and tools for scholars in their research and field
work, LINGUIST List provides the unique resources and information for the
whole linguistic community.

Please donate so that our service for all the users and the linguistic
community could continue:

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

Since last summer I have been working with other crew members on Calls &
Conferences, Institutions & Programs and LL-Map. Through Calls & Conferences
services, users can announce conferences and find conferences relevant to
their interests. Institutions & Programs provide information on institutions
and programs that specialize in particular languages or fields of study for
students and faculty.  LL-MAP not only helps the user with dynamic search for
language data, it also gives scholars the opportunity to utilize our site for
the creation of their own language maps.

The idea of keeping the resources and services free and easy to access for
scholars, students and all users is deeply held in LINGUIST List. However, we
could not fully achieve these goals without your generous donation every year.
I have been working at LINGUIST List as an international student for about two
and a half years. I have always been grateful to this organization's support
with which I finished my MA study and graduated last April.  The study and
work here is already part of treasure in my life that I will never forget.
Your support and donation has always been very significant to assist the many
international graduate students like me and help us continue our efforts of
providing better services to the linguistic community. Even a small sum of
money will be valuable to LINGUIST List and eventually all the users benefit
from your generous donations. We need your help, please donate with just one
click:

Sincerely,
Xiyan Wang

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!
