Dear subscribers, 
 
 
It's time for the Grad School Challenge... As many of you 
know, for the past five years, schools from all over the 
world have competed to see who can raise the most donations 
for The LINGUIST List during our Fund Drive. It's a way for 
faculty, students and alumni to kill two birds with one stone: 
show their support for LINGUIST by contributing to our 
operations, and support their own school as well! One of the 
most effective ways you can do this is to organize a group 
donation and challenge your rival school to match it. Students 
or alumni can also challenge faculty to match their donations.

If you want to participate in the competition, just enter the 
name of your school in the box provided at the URL below, and 
make a donation: 
 
http://linguistlist.org/donation/index.html 

This year we'll be doing something a little different. 
We'll still have an overall winner, but we've also 
divided the world into regions, and each of these will 
have regional winner. You can see how the regions were 
divided at the following URL:

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/gradschools/top-institutions-by-region.cfm

 
If you'd like to encourage your university department 
to donate to LINGUIST, visit our resources page for grad 
student organizers. You'll find a sample message you can 
send to the all linguists at your school, and fun, freely 
downloadable posters:

Grad School Organizers: John Benjamins has donated some 
prizes for you! Each week, there will be a prize for the 
grad school organizer who helps his/her school donate the 
highest amount to LINGUIST during Fund Drive. If you are 
an organizer, send your contact information and school to 
marialinguistlist.org so that we have your information in 
case you help your school donate the most in a particular 
week. 

 
Our database will track how much is credited toward each 
school, and every day the leading overall and regional 
schools will be prominently displayed on The LINGUIST List 
homepage, along with links to the school's homepage. It's 
a great way to highlight your school for the linguistics 
community and show that you have an active, loyal, and 
public-spirited faculty and student body. Check out how 
your school and all the others are doing at: 
 
 
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/gradschools/top-institutions-by-region.cfm

And check the overall positions at: 

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/gradschools/allschools.cfm

 
 
When fund drive ends, the top 2 schools in each region will 
receive special prizes that have been donated by our generous 
subscribers and supporting publishers. Also, the overall 
winner will receive an extra prize and the school's name and 
logo will be featured prominently on the LINGUIST homepage 
for 2 weeks. View prizes for winners at: 
 
http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/gradschools/prizes.cfm
 


In 2008, Stanford took first place for the Grad School Challenge 
with over $2685 in contributions. The University of Washington 
and University of Arizona were not far behind! Who'll win this 
year? It's up to you! Remember that anyone can donate - you 
don't have to be a grad student or faculty: you just have to 
be loyal to your school!

May the Best School Win! 
The 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.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2009 LINGUIST List Restaurant and join us for a delightful treat!

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/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!
