This is the way the Linguist List ends: Not with a bang but a whimper
Please consider donating to Linguist List this year as well.
This is the link: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
We are all deeply grateful for the funds that have already come in from the linguistic community. Other sciences are struggling to build what we already have - a central information hub where all jobs, books, articles, research initiatives and grant prospects are archived and sent out from. A meeting place for hundreds of people on mailingslist, and an intensive ancd challenging training facility for the next generation of language technology experts.
Without your donations - and we are $4000 short for the advisors challenge, which all in all will fund tuition for one of your student editors - parts of this will start to disappear. Graduate students might not be able to finish their degrees, or, more likely, fewer new ones will be hired.
If you have used the Linguist List in the past - finding articles, books, jobs, TOCs, resources for your classes and students, conferences or used our EasyAbs to build your conferences website - please take a moment to consider what that is worth to you.
Your support means the world to us.
All the best, Susanne Vejdemo Student Editor, Linguist List
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. 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 Space Fund
Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

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

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!
