Why should you donate rather than sell?

There are literally thousands of timeshare owners eager to sell their timeshare. Many have been roped into paying a listing company an upfront fee of $400 to $700 to list their timeshares for sale. Typically, a listing company representative is able to talk the seller into the listing price by saying the timeshare has a resale value four times the actual amount. Once the seller pays the listing fees, the timeshare does not sell because of the incredibly inflated price. At the end of the one-year listing contract, the agent calls the seller and attempts to get them to re-list for another $400 to $700. In the meantime the seller has not made arrangements to use the timeshare, expecting it to sell. In addition to listing fees the seller has also been paying maintenance fees and taxes on the property. Often times a seller will spend $800 to $3,000 trying to sell a property that will eventually sell for only $1,500 to $4,500.

This is why Donate For A Cause is the perfect solution for these sellers. Donors can get rid of their property in a matter of weeks at no cost to themselves while getting a tax write-off. By donating, timeshare owners capitalize on their profits while also assisting charitable organizations.

How does it work?

Simply fill out our on-line submission form telling us about the timeshare you wish to donate and which domestic charitable organization you wish to donate the timeshare to, and we will do all the work. Once we receive your submission form we will assess the property and determine if it has sufficient market value. You will hear from us within two to three business days. Properties that have mortgages, liens, loans, or outstanding maintenance fees that the owner is unwilling to pay off are not acceptable for donation. Properties that are deemed acceptable are then sold, and the net proceeds are given to charity.

What if you don't live in the US?

Non-US residents are welcome to donate timeshares to any of our listed charities. However, if you are interested in receiving a tax write-off for this donation in your home country you must first consult a tax advisor in your country and find out if this donation would qualify for a write-off.

How do you get your tax write-off?

Upon transfer of ownership of your timeshare, we will send you a receipt as proof of your donation which you can then use to qualify for a tax write-off. Once you receive your receipt, you should discuss its use with your accountant (or whomever you use for tax advice). You can also review the IRS web site regarding charitable donations at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf.

We can help you donate your timeshare whether it's managed by Marriott, Bluegreen, Westgate, Worldmark, Sunterra, Trendwest, Fairfield or any other timeshare management company. Our Timeshare donations program is an excellent opportunity to remove the burden of maintenance fees, taxes, and sales fees associated with selling your timeshare on the open market. Also, you will feel great about assisting a non-profit organization.
