You’ve spent a lifetime building your retirement savings. Now, those funds can do more than support your retirement, they can change the lives of young people right here in San Antonio.
If you’re 73 or older, donating to First Tee – Greater San Antonio may be one of the most meaningful financial decisions you can make this year.
What Is a Required Minimum Distribution?
A Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is the minimum amount the IRS requires you to withdraw each year from certain retirement accounts once you reach retirement age. Many people find they don’t need their full distribution for living expenses, and that’s where the opportunity lies.
When you donate your RMD directly to a qualified nonprofit, it becomes a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), which may reduce your taxable income and fully satisfies your annual withdrawal requirement. It’s a tax-smart way to make your retirement savings work for something bigger than yourself.
Why Give to First Tee – Greater San Antonio?
Your gift puts kids on the course and on a path toward confidence, character, and lifelong opportunity — supported by coaches who teach far more than golf. Together, they make First Tee accessible to every young person in San Antonio, regardless of background or zip code. Every kid deserves a chance to find their swing — and themselves.
