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.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out Fund 
Drive 2011 site!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2011/

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

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/donation/

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!
