One of my customers is a 501(c)(3) animal rescue. They purchase, at regular price, stuffed animals I sew from my small business (I am self-employed). I cover their shipping to help defray costs to the rescue. Can I write off the shipping charges ($250) as a charitable contribution? Or do I just deduct as a business expense on my Schedule C? Or?
Thank you.

Deduct the shipping cost as a business expense on your Schedule C. The value of the shipping versus the total sales price of the merchandise is probably relatively small, so essentially what you did is negotiate a discounted price for a certain class of customers.
