Dear LINGUIST LIST Subscribers,

My name is Danuta Allen and I am an undergraduate student of Linguistics at
Eastern Michigan University. I have only begun working for the LINGUIST List,
and I am truly grateful for being offered this experience. I am very excited
to learn every day something new and valuable about the projects the LL Staff
and Volunteers have been developing and maintaining here, that I would never
otherwise learn about by merely taking my linguistics courses at EMU. I love
my major and consider working for the LINGUIST List to be a wonderful and
significant stepping-stone for my future career as a linguist. Without your
financial support, students like me would not be given this amazing
opportunity.

The LINGUIST List plays an important role for the linguistic community as it
continues to support several graduate students through their higher education,
allowing them to pursue a degree in linguistics. Without your donations, it
would not be possible. Please, remember the long-term contributions the
LINGUIST List makes to the field of linguistics through the training it offers
to the students. The linguistic disciplines will someday benefit from the
knowledge and experience students will offer as full-fledged professional
linguists.

Please, consider donating to the LINGUIST List. Make it your opportunity to
contribute to the field of linguistics by supporting future linguists like me
in gaining such valuable professional experience. This is an opportunity that
only becomes available once a year, so don’t miss it! You can donate via this
link:

Sincerely,
Danuta Allen

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!
