Can I add money to a "Charitable Trust Fund" in 2016, amend the 2015 return and claim the deduction on that return?

I received a large check from a close out of an investment on the 31st of December 2015 and was not able to place the money into the Charitable Trust until 2016 after the taxes were submitted. I was not able to take advantage of placing the money in the bank and making arrangements before the taxes were completed, not being able to take advantage of the tax deduction in 2015 leaving me with a large tax bill.I should be able to file an amendment taking advantage of the deduction.
