Charities Accepting Timeshare Donations
Many timeshare owners out of luck on the resale market choose to offer their timeshare as a donation to a non-profit organization, or NPO. While some NPO’s have shied away from this type of fund raising, there are still many organizations out there that welcome timeshare as a way to raise money for their programs.

I attempted to donate a Timeshare to The National Childrens Association. I was charged a transfer fee, with the agreement that the Charity would handle all necessary documentation and provide me with a donation receipt for tax purposes. The entire process was suppose to take 30 days (as indicated on the website http://nationalchildrens.webs.com). It has been 90 days, and the Charity has now become nonresponsive to any telephone inquiries (not answering or returning calls). The only communication that I am getting is via e-mail (upon my inquiries), but the rep is not providing me with any type of status, although promises are made that it is forthcoming. The Charity indicated that weekly updates would be provided when I entered into this contractual arrangement. I tried to be very cautious as to which Charity to select, and this Charity is registered with the BBB and was initially licensed with the Trade Commission when I signed the Contract.
I contacted the Trade Commission on last week and was informed that The National Childrens Association’s Charity license was cancelled on 3/24/10. I have now filed a complaint with the Dept of Consumer Affairs and the BBB. I am concerned that this Charity will quickly “dissolve”, without fulfilling the terms of this contract and not refunding my money.
Be leery of Timeshare donations and even though I did my research beforehand, it still appears that I have been scammed.
