Yes, as long as it is approved by the IRS and registered as a non-profit group under code 503(c). It can lose it's approval by certain acts. Taking part on one side or another in political campaigns is against the regulations under the IRS codes. A Pastor who preaches support of one party or another or in favor of certain candidates can also cause the organization to lose their non-profit status and these groups can fold under such regulations.

Are food contributions to a charitable organization tax-deductible?
Charitable contributions are deductible only if you itemize deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A. To be deductible, charitable contributions must be made to qualified organizations. Qualified organizations include, but are not limited to, Federal, state, and local governments and organizations organized and operated only for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. Organizations can tell you if they are qualified and if donations to them are deductible. If your contribution entitles you to merchandise, goods, or services, including admission to a charity ball, banquet, theatrical performance, or sporting event, you can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit received. For a contribution of $250 or more, you can claim a deduction only if you obtain a written acknowledgment from the qualified organization. You generally can deduct your cash contributions as well as the fair market value of any property you donate to qualified organizations. The fair market value of most household or personal items is generally much less than the price paid when new. You should claim only what the item would sell for at a garage sale, a flea market, or a second hand or thrift store. You must fill out Form 8283 Section A, if your total deduction for all noncash contributions is more than $500. If you make a contribution of noncash property worth more than $5,000, generally an appraisal must be done. In that case, you must also fill out Form 8283 Section B. Attach Form 8283 to your return.
Is WikiAnswers published by a religious organization?
No. I have been a member for a little over a year and have made over 20,000 contributions (including editing). I have asked and answered many, many questions. Never once has anyone told me that I had to have or advocate for a particular religious point of view. In fact, I have answered from several different points of view, including religious ones. This does not sound like any religious organization I've ever heard of; how about you? If it appears that there are a lot of religious discussions going on, it is because contributors have a lot of questions, and they ask those questions here.
