On Monday, December 24, Just You And Me will close with the traditional broadcast of Louis Armstrong reading The Night Before Christmas, recorded not long before the jazz great’s death in 1971. For the holiday itself the following day, tune in for lots of classic Christmas jazz.

and on Monday, December 31, we’ll end 2018 with a look back at some of the year’s most compelling new releases. Our Friday-evening jazz-specialty programs will observe the holidays as well on December 21, as Afterglow celebrates a “Modern Jazz Christmas” with music from singers such as Kurt Elling and Diana Krall at 8 p.m., followed by a Night Lights holiday special at 9 p.m. featuring recordings by Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Evans, and more.

Don’t Forget the Indiana College Tax Credit for 2018 Giving Now that the tax laws have changed, taking advantage of annual charitable contributions is more difficult. Most of us won’t have given enough to qualify for a deduction on our 2018 federal taxes.

If that describes your situation, you should know about the Indiana College Tax Credit.

Indiana University is a state college/ university and WFIU is licensed to Indiana University. Therefore your contributions to WFIU qualify under this program. It’s better than a deduction—it’s a credit that reduces the tax you owe.

If, for example, you were to make a $400 gift to WFIU, you could claim a $200 tax Page 10 / December 2018

credit on your Indiana state taxes (if you file jointly), and up to $100 in credit on a $200 gift if you file singly. The tax credit comes right off the top of what you owe in state taxes.

Why does the state do it? Because strong annual support from donors like you is vital to WFIU—and our universities and colleges are vital to the state . . . but you already know that!

Take advantage of this tax benefit by filling out Form CC-40 (downloadable from www.IN.gov/dor) and include it with your tax return filing. It’s money back in your pocket!

To discuss ways of making a taxadvantaged gift to WFIU, call (812) 8552935 or go online to wfiu.org/support.

Follow these four easy steps:

Step 1: Send in a gift to WFIU. Make your check out to Indiana University Foundation/WFIU. Step 2: F eel good for supporting public radio!

Step 3: File the CC-40 form.

Step 4: F eel even better when the state of Indiana reduces your taxes!

A Gift Anyone Can Afford?

Did you realize there are ways to support WFIU that do not affect your lifestyle or jeopardize your family’s security?

Simply provide your attorney with the following: “I give, devise, and bequeath [the sum of/a percentage of/or the residue of my estate] to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit Indiana corporation with principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, for the benefit and unrestricted support of WFIU, Indiana University, Bloomington campus.”

Learn How You Can See The Cleveland Orchestra

Never Too Late To Say “Thank You!”

The Cleveland Orchestra has been sharing their talents with audiences all over the country.

Now is your chance to see the orchestra live!

This year marks the centennial of The Cleveland Orchestra’s creation. Celebrate this January with a night of music at the IU Auditorium!

In last month’s guide we thanked the volunteers who so generously gave their time during Fall Fund Drive. But the guide went to press before we were able to thank all the volunteers. Below, we correct this oversight and again proclaim, “Thank you, Volunteers. We couldn’t have done it without you!”

For a membership contribution of $240, or an ongoing monthly contribution of $20 as a sustaining member, you will receive two tickets to see The Cleveland Orchestra at the IU Auditorium in Bloomington, Indiana, on Wednesday, January 23, 2019! You will also receive a one-year subscription to WFIU’s monthly program guide and one WFIU MemberCard.

Learn more about this opportunity at wfiu.org/events.
