No. Sodium hydroxide releases hydroxide ions, which actually take protons out of the solution.
This qualifies sodium hydroxide as a base.

Why does sodium hydroxide and phenolphthalein mixture turn clear when carbon dioxide is added?
Carbon dioxide dissolves in the aqueous solution to produce carbonic acid. The carbonic acid dissociates to produce the carbonate ion and two protons. The protons reacts with the hydroxide provided by the already dissociated sodium hydroxide to produce water. The sodium carbonate is fairly soluble and stays in solution. Since the hydroxide ion is depleted, the phenolphthalein reverts from pink to clear as it does in solutions with a pH less than 8.3.
