You're right, we are limited these days on what qualifies as tax deductible. I don't know 100%, but I believe that computers, libraries, contributions toward various educational presentations or materials, and possibly office space/study rooms may be all or partially tax deductible. Of course, consult with your national/international personnel and a qualified tax advisor before making such a donation!
Another donation/tax deduction thought...you may be able to make a donation through your GLO's foundation and earmark it for collegiate housing. Again, call your foundation contact and find out what may be possible. It can't hurt and may help.
