10 March 2013 NRO Account is an account permitted to be opened by NRI/PIO in the form of :

● Savings Account - Normally maintained for crediting legitimate dues /earnings / income such as dividends, interest etc. Banks are free to determine the interest rates.

● Term Deposits - Banks are free to determine the interest rates. Interest rates offered by banks on NRO deposits cannot be higher than those offered by them on comparable domestic rupee deposits.

● Account should be denominated in Indian Rupees.

I don't think sending donations to Indian charitable institutions is as such banned. So you may use the NRO account to make such donation. Make sure the authorized dealer is in know of the matter.

Further, such contributions received from NRIs is normally not considered as foreign contributions (reference : http://www.mha.gov.in/fcra/intro/FAQs.pdf )
