Contributions to a 501(c)3 are deductible. Look at page 6 column 3 and page 7 column 1 of the IRS Publication 526. Based on this, the organization donated to the benefactor. As long as the organization has been approved by IRS, i see the deduction as being a deductible charitable contribution.

Rough start with TurboTax and Credit Karma, mere seconds from BBB and pulling out my hair but after 4 days of calling, a dozen fruitless conversations and one call that last over 3 hours... Allen saved the day! Allen should be president of the company.
