Those donations are not Charitable deductions.
Here's a detailed explanation from a Moose lodge on how it "might" be deductible....but only if the lodge sets up a separate 501(c)(3) entity that you have to contribute to, not the 501(c)(8) lodge itself.
So you have to ask your organization...what exactly you contributed to, and get a receipt from the 501(c)(3) if that 's who you actually gave to....if not, then it cannot be a charitable deduction for you.
