You can’t directly set up a QCD yourself. BUT here’s what you need to do:

1. 1. Contact your IRA custodian (bank, brokerage) and inform them you want to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution.
   2. Specify the charity (Suncoast Storytellers Inc.) and donation amount (up to $105,000 per year).
   3. The custodian handles the transfer directly to the charity. This ensures it qualifies as a QCD.

Important to remember:

• • You must be 70 ½ years old or older.
  • The distribution counts towards your required minimum distribution (RMD).
