TUITION IS NOT A CHARITABLE DONATION
We are asked this question often enough to post this notice: payment of CIAS tuition does not qualify as a charitable donation because it is a contribution from which you benefit.
"You cannot deduct as a charitable contribution amounts you pay as tuition even if you pay them for children to attend parochial schools or qualifying nonprofit daycare centers. You also cannot deduct any fixed amount you must pay in addition to, or instead of, tuition to enroll in a private school, even if it is designated as a 'donation.'" -IRS
