Is an IRS-recognized foreign, nonprofit, tax exempt entity that is NOT registered as a 501(c)3 eligible for tax-deductible donations in the US?

My organization is based in Germany. It has a Foreign TIN and we are registered with the IRS via form W-8BEN-E. On this form, we are registered as a nonprofit and have filled box 36 in section XXII as a non-profit organization. 

We are very interested in soliciting donations from the USA, but we are not sure if the donations would qualify as tax-deductible. We are not a 501(c)3, but we are registered as a tax-exempt nonprofit with the IRS. Can anyone advise me as to whether the donors could claim the donations as being tax deductible?
