Has anyone had experience donating their timeshares to a charity like Donate for a Cause? Or is trying to donating your timeshare just another link in the timeshare rippoff con? Thanks in advance for your input. George
 
Most arn't transferable to anyone but the company you bought it from.

They take it back and sell it again.

I worked for a charity and routinely turned them down. The typical scenario was a donor who could not sell the timeshare -- either the market was dead, or the timeshare facility was still expanding, and of course selling their new units and only pretending to try to sell the existing ones. So the donor says, I'll donate it. Well, what is the charity going to do with it? It won't sell any better for them than for the donor. And it's an asset that only declines in value over time. The charity is stuck paying maintenance fees for something they can't use and can't sell, and often just forfeit it to cut their losses. Where's the gift?
 
Donate for a cause.org takes your timeshare and lists on the internet, ebay I think. The buyer pays closing costs and all transfer fees. Any profit goes to a charity of your choice. So, has anyone had any experience with something like DFC?
