Charitable contributions are deductible as itemized deductions. The amount of charitable deductions an individual can claim in any one year is limited depending on the types of organizations to which the contributions were made, the kinds of property contributed, and the amount or value of the donated property. IRS Publication 78 contains a list of charitable organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions.

You can access the charitable organization information online at http://apps.irs.gov/app/pub78 You will need the organization's name and location to perform your search. Available information includes a coding system to identify each organization by type and limitation on deductibility. Note that the IRS states their list is
"not all-inclusive."
