Depends on the project and on the country that you're in.

It depends on your countries tax code but in the US it must be a qualified not for profit organisation registered with the IRS. So probably not...

"This means that donations made by U.S. citizens to Linux Fund or one of our partner projects are tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. income tax laws."
