Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,
In my role as Managing Editor, one of the most valuable lessons I've gained
is how to guide linguists to resources that are relevant to their needs.
The LINGUIST List has such incredible potential to provide opportunities
for all linguists. Not just for Americans. Not just for people who can
afford an annual membership fee. For everyone. This is why our services are
freely accessible to the public, and why we must ask for donations in order
to continue:

Perhaps you're wondering what LINGUIST can offer you. No matter who you are,
where you're from, or what your interests are, if you have something to
announce to the linguistics community, we want to help you find the right
forum to share it! Want people to know that there's a conference on
Ukrainian? We can announce this in our Conferences area. Want to inform
students of an applied linguistics fellowship in China? We can post this
for you in our Support section. If you're not sure where your information
'fits', we have a hardworking team of editors specialized to help you find
the best classification.
For this fund drive, I want to show you how to best utilize our site. Along
with sending out messages about our office, we'll also send out a series of
messages that organize our resources for specific demographics, such as
students, conference organizers, institutions, or job-seekers. So we hope
you'll keep reading our messages or following us on social media; you may
find something you're looking for.
We work hard to connect linguists and ideas from all over the world, and to
promote the discipline as a whole. We're going to continue to work hard to
find new ways of making LINGUIST as user-friendly and beneficial to you as
possible. But to do that, we need your help. Please donate today:

Best regards,
Elyssa Winzeler
Managing Editor

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!
