can an s-corp write off work and merchandise expenses donated to a non-profit organization?

an s-corp doesn't pay income tax -- taxation is pass-through.  this being the case, there are no tax deductions it could take for charitable giving.  the solution would be for you to make the contribution out of your own pocket and then personally claim the deduction on your own taxes.
