If you have an American income, then you can claim an American donation. Otherwise, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (our version of the IRS) doesn't per se allow it. You can try to submit - sometimes they catch it, sometimes they don't - just be aware that it may not be allowed.
There are several men's GLO who have organized in Canada to set up a Canadian foundation (Kappa Sigma, Zeta Psi off the top of my head). This way, donations made by Canadian members to these Canadian foundations can be issued receipts.
Note that any donation I do make to AOII Foundation I do get a receipt whether I chose to try to submit to CCRA or not. It is good for record keeping anyways.
one thing to keep in mindDonations only get about 17% of their value (compared to political party donations which are at 75% of value), so sometimes it is just not worth the hassle of being flagged by the CCRA for future audits.
