Subject:  Only 30 minutes left in the Advisors' Challenge!

Dear Linguists,

At the time of writing, we are only $695 short of our goal!  Can you
help us reach the target in the thirty minutes?  Will you be one of 14
$50 donors, or one of 7 $100 donors?  Your donation helps to support
graduate students who work to keep our website and mailing list
running throughout the year.

Hurry, if you donate in the next thirty minutes, the LINGUIST advisory
board will donate a further $2,500 as part of their challenge!

Please donate right now at
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm.  
To those who have already donated: thank you very much from us all.

- Your LINGUIST crew

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go
to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors
for the coming year.

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,

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.

Note: the donors' names are appended to every fund drive message sent
to the main list.  You can also see the list of all donors by clicking

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
