I donated $100 to a Go Fund Me account. Can I add that as charitable deductions? Thank you

To claim a charitable income tax deduction for a gift, the gift must be to a qualified charity.  Gifts to help individuals in need do not count as deductible donations.  So unless the account was set up by a tax-exempt charity, I'm afraid your gift is not deductible.
