Dear LINGUIST Subscribers,

When you donate to The LINGUIST List, not only do you contribute to a new 
generation of linguists forging their way into the digital age, but you also 
help support students who might not otherwise have the means to continue on to 
graduate school.  We are a diverse group, but many of us, myself included, have 
had to work outside academia to get to where we are. 

It took me longer than average to finish my undergraduate degree.  I was forced 
to forego class registration almost every other semester because I had to work. 
Although I received scholarships, that money barely covered tuition.  I have 
always had to work to ensure that my financial situation was stable enough to 
continue with classes.  After graduating and again looking for work, I was 
uninspired and quickly becoming frustrated.  I began to realize how deeply  
determined I was to pursue the study of language and searched for a way to be 
able to apply to graduate school. When I learned about the graduate student 
opportunities at The LINGUIST List, I was elated.  I applied and waited 
nervously until I received my acceptance letter and my position as a graduate 
assistant working at LINGUIST.  

For me, working for LINGUIST has been a dream come true.  I work for a 
progressive organization that is as equally committed to its students as we are 
to it.  Our team members are dedicated to the field of linguistics. We are 
unafraid to meet the challenges that come with working at LINGUIST. Apart from 
my regular duties of posting Jobs, I participate in various projects at 
LINGUIST, such as LL-MAP (which you'll be hearing about later on in Fund Drive). 
We spend a lot of time working to maintain and improve the digital 
infrastructure of the discipline through LINGUIST, and LINGUIST, in return, 
provides a nurturing environment that encourages us to pursue our own research 
paths.  By donating to the LINGUIST List, you help keep the resources we offer 
alive, but more importantly, you help students like me have the opportunity to 
study so that we may one day contribute further to this discipline that we all 
love.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go to help keep the 
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

LINGUIST List Superhero Adventure for some Fund Drive fun!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by 
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

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!
