If I am using the standard deduction can I deduct donations on my schedule C for my business? Examples clothing to the mission, payments to go fund me accounts, etc.

Unfortunately, no.  Schedule C is for reporting trade or business income that is derived from profit-seeking activities.  Charitable donations do not go on Schedule C; they are an itemized deduction on Schedule A.   So if you are taking the standard deduction, you do not get a deduction for charitable contributions.
