NASA can accept donations from the public, but they are not allowed to ask for them or advertise in any way. If you send a check to the correct place, they will absolutely use it. I believe they are only allowed to accept money from American citizens as well, because taking foreign donations would create some interesting conflict of interests.

EDIT: Thanks for the link /u/nikkorizz. It looks like the money can come from anyone, but it cannot have any "strings" attached.
