I'm not a tax person, so I can't tell you how to best handle the donation. You can keep watching the thread and will likely get comments from tax-oriented folks. But to be deductible it has to be an IRS-approved organization. The fact that an organization is "non-profit" is not enough. So you need to do some homework to see that the organization meets the IRS criteria.
"Qualified organizations.
"Qualified organizations include nonprofit groups that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose, or that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals."
"How to check whether an organization can receive deductible charitable contributions.
"You can ask any organization whether it is a qualified organization, and most will be able to tell you. You also can check by going to IRS.gov/TEOS. This online tool will enable you to search for qualified organizations."
For a lot of info on donations, see this IRS publication:
