Depends on the organ, and how damaged it may be from the effects of CF. Don't forget that the skin is an organ, so the safest (and possibly) best way for us to be organ donors is to donate some skin for someone who may need a skin graft.
There are multiple ways to indicate how you want to be a donor. The most commonly known way is to affix the organ donor sticker to your driver's license. You may also indicate in your will or advance directive how you'd like to go about donating.
The screening is VERY strict for organ donors, so it's difficult (though not impossible) for CFers to donate. If you feel very strongly about gifting a part of your body, there are ways to do it. You may also want to consider donating your body to research at the time of your passing. If you live in the U.S., visit organdonor.gov which has more information about it.

that is a good question... by no means am i an expert on the subject but i would say yes, cf patients can donate their organs... to science for studying purposes... i don't think most of our organs should not and would not be placed in another human...
like i said tho... i'm not an expert... simply stating my opinion
however, donating your organs to science is a great idea for the future of the disease, and because you wouldn't need them anymore (being dead) they may as well get "a few more miles" out of them if at all possible... heh

In my above answer, I assumed you meant donate as for the purpose of transplantation. That is something we can't do, with the exceptions already mention. Sometimes we can't even donate blood or plasma because of CF (especially if you're anemic). But donating as a way to further research is something we can do.
