Where do we declare the amounts for business donations to community groups?

Our business has donated multiple gift certificates for community groups that are not registered charities. Can someone please advise if we can claim these amounts as a deduction or expense?

Because you are  a "Business" you may claim these donations. For the purpose of advertising or promoting.

There is a mix of not for profit and donations to our customers for their community fundraisers. The nor for profits are not registered charities unfortunately.
