Of course. Millions of people are given donations every day, including soup, clothes, shelter. "Non-profit" simply means that there are no shareholders who are taking home dividends on the corporate profits. Many people prefer to donate to tax-exempt, non-profit, registered charities, because the donations may be deductible by the donor on their own tax returns.
What you usually CANNOT do is misrepresent yourself as a "charity" if you're soliciting donations from the public. You may also have to register with the stat's attorney general (which generally oversees charitable money for the whole state).
