Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,
The ideology behind LINGUIST is that the collective contributions of a community in a field such as linguistics can accomplish more than any individual could alone. This is hardly a novel concept, but LINGUIST applies this notion to every submission, page and project it develops. We collect submissions on jobs, conferences, publication information, funding opportunities, and other relevant questions or announcements to linguistics, and have found a way to make them accessible to everyone through emails and our website. Our success is due to the incredible number of linguists who share their information with the LINGUIST community, and each individual who subscribes or uses our site daily.
Every contribution is valuable, and the more people who participate in our efforts, the greater a service we can provide for everyone. Our Fund Drive follows the same principle. It is impossible for one non-profit organization to maintain the amount of valuable information we host and distribute without the donations of others. Even $5 or $10 helps make the work that we do possible. Small contributions add up quickly when everyone works together- it's that simple.
Ultimately, we believe that the services we provide belong to everyone, regardless of what they can or cannot afford to donate. This is why we continue to make everything we do available to the public without mandatory membership fees. But in order to do this, we rely on your support. No matter how 'small' you may feel your role is, your donation is a vital part of what makes LINGUIST great.

Elyssa Winzeler Managing Editor The LINGUIST List

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!
