Write Offs for Canadian serving on U.S. 501C3 Board?

Post by Lucy2001 »

I am a Canadian on the Board of a U.S. Registered Charitable Organization(a 501C3 Charity). My U.S. counterparts write off almost everything related to our Board activities; hotels, per diems, travel expenses. We meet 4 times/year plus I hold a Committee Chair position that takes about 20 hours/month of my time on top of Board duties.
Is there anything in our Tax Act that allow me to write off some of my expenses? I receive almost nothing in remuneration, sometimes they can pay a couple of nights of hotels but that's about it.
Thanks,
