In the US, not just any non-profit organization, but a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. If a donator could claim a tax break, the MUD owners would definitely know about it from all the hoops they had to jump through to get the requisite status with the IRS.

The donator self-incorporating as a game development consultant and writing off the donation as a business expense would, at least, involve less paperwork.

By the way: I am not a lawyer. Do not listen to me or do as I say. About anything.
