Maybe.  You may be able to deduct contributions to certain Canadian charitable organizations covered under an income tax treaty with Canada. To deduct your contribution to a Canadian charity, you generally must have income from sources in Canada. See Pub. 597: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p597.pdf , Information on the United States-Canada Income Tax Treaty, for information on how to figure your deduction.
