U/s 80G , donations to certain funds and charitable institutions only, are eligible for deduction. These includes funds set up by the Governments, both state and central for specific public welfare purposes.
Hence all donations are not allowable as deduction U/s 80G.

It can not be deducted from Gross Total Income under Section 80G.
However, looking towards business expediency if company incurs such type of expenditure, that may be allowed in certain cases. However, in that case in spite of the word "donation" other name like Navratri Festival Contribution etc... may be used.
