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.

Itemized deductions
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
