Can I allow my brother to deduct the noncash donations I made to the Salvation Army because I don’t itemize but he does?
No. It was your property that was donated, so the donation belongs to you. You could have given the items to your brother as a gift and let him make the donations.

Exemption
A fixed deduction allowed to every taxpayer, except those who may be claimed as a dependent by another person. Extra exemption deductions are allowed for a spouse on a joint return and for each qualifying dependent. A deduction of $3,400 is allowed for each exemption claimed on 2007 returns, but the deduction is phased out for certain high income individuals.
