I understand that a business called Donate for a Cause does accept timeshare donations and then sells them. I have seen eBay listings by Donate for a Cause.

Has anyone had experience with them?

I did contact them regarding donating a TS, but alas it was not accepted. There is a partial list of timeshares that are not accepted; if your TS is not on the list, that doesn't mean they will accept it for a donation. DFC will do a market analysis to see if it can be sold in short time frame, otherwise they will not accept it. AND all loans, MFs, and special assessments must be up to date. IMO, if you are unable to sell it or give it away, DFC will probably not accept it. It doesn't hurt to contact them and see if they will take your unit. Another member is in the process of donating her TS through the Florida Veterans Association. Maybe she will report back on her progress.
