In CANADA you can get the company you're doing this for to give you a 'tax receipt' which you can then claim. But here's the catch. You have to file your return like you earned $xxx and then donated that $xxx back to charity. Therefore, you would have to report BOTH the income and the deduction.
However, in AMERICA, you cannot deduct SERVICES but you can deduct for EXPENSES related to such charitable/pro bono services.
