If donations made to your nonprofit are tax deductible, then contributions made to your nonprofit through the Firstgiving site are, too. 

However, be sure to to communicate this to your donors by customizing the thank-you copy with the “tax deductible” verbiage that makes it legal to claim donations on taxes. Not sure what this means?  Please see page 29 under “Substanstiation Rules” of the IRS compliance guide for public charities.
