Donating our timeshare (by KC):

As Mike has already experienced and reported, Donate for a Cause actually rejects more offered timeshares than they accept. The acceptance / rejection evaluation is actually done by Resort Closings, Inc., a closing company in Bozeman, MT which is apparently co-located with DFC. While they maintain a published list of "will never accept" timeshares on their site, the fact is that they will also reject many others which are NOT on the "will never accept" list. In short, don't assume that the absence of your facility on their published list means that they would accept it -- t'ain't necessarily so.
Unless a charity is confident that they can turn a particular timeshare into cash quickly and expediently, they generally want no part of it. That's completely understandable, of course, since a "donation" which is of no financial value to them is hardly a welcome "gift" and does not help them to advance their program or mission in any way.
