Are all timeshare donations accepted?
Generally 50%-60% of donated timeshares are accepted, usually within a few weeks of the time the donor contacts us. Timeshares that don't sell usually have outstanding mortgages that the donor is unable to pay off, have overdue annual maintenance fees, or have been allowed to deteriorate badly.

Can I sell my timeshare on my own and donate the proceeds to AKF?
Any timeshare owner can sell independently and donate the proceeds to AKF. But most owners are reluctant to pay listing fees typically ranging from $800-$3,000 for a timeshare that may sell for just $1,500-$4,500. Furthermore, it can take several years to sell a timeshare, and continuing maintenance fees may exceed the sale price.

How do I get my tax write-off?
Donate For A Cause will send you a tax receipt for your donation when ownership of your timeshare has been transferred successfully.

What does it cost the American Kidney Fund?
Your timeshare donation costs AKF nothing! Standard costs to check the title and pay for brokerage fees come out of the sale price - and AKF receives the balance.

What if I don't live in the US?
Non-US residents are welcome to donate timeshares. However, to receive a tax write-off in your home country, you must consult a tax advisor to find out if your timeshare donation qualifies as a tax deduction.
