Yes. However, the type of expenses incurred and the intention behind them are both important to take into consideration. If they do qualify, they would be recognized as a "gift" to the charity (for tax purposes), and therefore receiptable. Please see the following link to determine the eligibility of your expenses.

Information as per Canada Revenue Agency (CRA):
