Donate for a cause (by Virginia B.):

We have a list of ownerships we will not accept under any circumstance because we know that we can not sell them or the resort refuses to work with third parties. We can sell this ownership, but not to anyone that is willing to pay the closings costs which is what we were trying to do to keep the donor's out of pocket expenses to a minimum. As the charity is it obviously not in our best interest to pay all of the closing costs on a property that will most likely sell for less than $500. The only option at that point: have the donor pay the fees if they want to complete the donation.

The fee we charge is not upfront, it is due at closing. Closing is when the deed is signed over to our charity. As stated in my previous response, we are taking on a liability. Keep in mind our goal here is to raise money for charity while helping people out of their ownerships.

Most people that contact us are interested in getting out of their timeshare quickly which is why we transfer the deed into our company while we find a new owner (under our Guaranteed Donation Program). Obviously if we are going to take the deed over, we need to know that the closing costs transferring the timeshare back out of our name are covered, which is why we charge the fees at the time we take over the deed.
