what about funds paid directly to the organization that cover some of the the costs of the trip? Like a trip fee? Check written to a 501C3.

yes. out-of-pocket expenses (with receipts) and mileage (at the charitable rate) are deductible.

Like with a church trip or something where you go and conduct volunteer work (build a school for example). Thanks for any info. P.S. already looked at the guidance on the IRS web site and it appears so but I can't seem to get a charitable contributions letter from the organization.
