UNT and the UNT Health Science

this month.
The board of regents for UNT and

approved the awarding of the honorary
degree, Doctor of Educational
Leadership.
"Mr. Roberson's accomplishments
across so many years in Texas higher
education and, in particular, his contri-
butions to the development of a major
partnership with our two institutions,
demand this kind of recognition," says
UNT Chancellor Alfred F. Hurley.
"Indeed, his contributions during his 30

development of the entire North Texas
area."
David Richards, president of the
health science center, says, "C.A.
Roberson has been an integral leader in

ing in that post until retiring this year.

Five helpful hints to make year-end giving easier
By Doug Chadwick
If you're like
most people, you do
youi major giving
toward die end of
the year. This prob-
ably occurs for sev-
eral reasons: You
want to obtain
income tax deduc-
tions; a barrage of
earnest appeals by nonprofit organizations
increases awareness of financial need; or
you, like many people, are simply predis-
posed to end die year with a pleasant phil-
anthropic taste in your mouth.
Here are five tips to help you make
the most of your year-end giving.
1. Calculate your income. Try to get
a handle on your tax liability for the year.
Did your earned or unearned income
increase? Did you sell any
appreciated assets? Will you
owe more taxes? This alone may
motivate you to up your giving
before Dec. 31. In fact, you may
even want to move some deduc-
tion for yourself this year. Non-
itemizers may especially find
this "grouping of gifts" useful to
take advantage of an itemized
tax return. In any case, by the
time you fill out your income tax
return, it will be too late to make
charitable gifts for the previous
year. Take the time to do some
planning while you still have the
opportunity to make a year-end
gift.
2. Review your stocks.
Look at the stocks you have held
for more than a year. Which
ones have appreciated the most?
It may be prudent for you to
make your year-end gift using
one or more of these stocks.
Here's why: If you sold the
stock, you would incur capital
gains'tax on the appreciation. However, if
you give the stock and allow the UNT
Foundation to sell it, no one pays tax. And
you get a charitable deduction for the full
amount of the stock, just as you would
were your gift made with cash. What's
more, if you can't use all the charitable
income tax deduction resulting from the
gift, you can carry it forward for up to an
additional five years. Such gifts are
deductible up to an amount equal to 30
percent of your annual gross income.
3. Consider a life-income gift UNT
offers a variety of life-income plans to fit
your needs. You can make a gift now,
obtain tax benefits and receive income for
the rest of your life. Sound too good to be
true? A few minutes of your time will con-
vince you otherwise. Our planned giving
officer can provide personalized illustra-
tions and printed material to assist you and
your advisers.
4. Think about giving early in the
year. This is especially true if you want to
make a gift of noncash assets (stock, real
estate, etc.). It also applies to life-income
gifts (gift annuities, pooled income fund
contributions, trust arrangements, etc.).
5. Talk to your adviser. Before mak-
ing any significant gift to the university, or
to any other nonprofit for that matter, you
should have your CPA, attorney or other
adviser help you understand the iihpact on
your income tax return or estate. We at
UNT want your giving to be not only gen-
erous and joyful, but prudent.
For more information about year-end
giving opportunities at UNT, contact Brent
Davison, director of planned giving, at

utive director of the UNT Foundation.
