Can I receive a tax deduction for a donation to an overseas nonprofit organization?
If you want to take a deduction for your donation, be sure to donate to a charity registered in the United States. That doesn’t mean you can’t give to an organization that has an international scope, such as CARE or Save the Children. You just have to make sure the charity is registered in the U.S. – as both of these charities are – if you want to take the deduction.
