That's what Kickstarter says on their website, but I know someone (a Canadian citizen) who has an American bank account, address, and EIN. She attempted to do a kickstarter project, and was told that you need to actually be an american citizen, something that kickstarter doesn't publicly say on their site.
Officially, Kickstarter even says that you aren't allowed to circumvent their rules by using a friend or relative in the US, but it's pretty clear they look the other way when people do use this approach.
