JGI’s Awards Celebration

JGI events support our critical efforts to protect chimpanzees and their habitat, engage communities in Africa as partners in sustainable development and conservation, and grow our youth environmental education and leadership program.

On September 28, 2007, in Los Angeles, and October 10, 2007,in Washington, D.C., Jane Goodall presented the first annual Jane Goodall Global Leadership Awards to former Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa, US Senator Patrick Leahy, Ted Turner and others sharing her vision and commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

Do you have a timeshare that you no longer want? Why not turn it into a gift for JGI!

Many people own timeshares that they no longer want, and are stuck paying annual fees for something they no longer use.   Disposing of a timeshare is a frustrating and difficult process, often resulting in expensive up-front fees paid to agents that too rarely seem to find a buyer at any price.

If you have a timeshare that you no longer want, we have good news! 

By special arrangement, JGI is partnering with Donate for a Cause (www.donateforacause.org), a specialized charity that will accept and then sell timeshares, giving the net proceeds to JGI.  Donate for a Cause is able to accept most (but not all) timeshare gifts.  Once you provide some simple, basic information, they will evaluate the property within a few weeks. 

They’ll do all the legwork and there is no cost to you!  Best of all, the proceeds of the sale will benefit JGI and you will be eligible for an income tax deduction for your gift.  It truly is a win-win!

If you are interested in turning your unwanted timeshare into a gift for JGI, simply click the following link http://donateforacause.org/timesharedonation/charity/jgi/ and complete the basic information about your timeshare.  If you prefer to apply using a paper application, or have any other questions, please call or email Jessica Lindenfelser at 703-682-9292 or jlindenfelser@janegoodall.org.
