Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

Hello! My name is Di Wdzenczny, and I work on the 
MultiTree project (http://multitree.org). MultiTree 
is free, searchable database which allows you to see 
graphical representations of language family trees, 
as well as compare hypotheses of language relationships. 
Working on this project has sparked my interest in 
several language families I didn't know previously 
existed (as well as develop my understanding of 
current genetic hypotheses in the field of historical 
linguistics!), and I hope one day to contribute to 
genetic hypotheses of under-researched and under-
documented families.

In addition to working on the MultiTree project, I am 
also the Conference Announcement's Editor for The 
LINGUIST List. Knowing how much I have learned about 
linguistic events and research from this area, I am 
grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this 
process. Please donate to help keep this service going:

Sincerely,

Di Wdzenczny 






This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. 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, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

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!
