Answer 1

Target  gives 5% of their income to programs that support education, the arts and social services, as well as volunteerism.   Nobody else you mentioned even comes close to that percentage.  Walmart provides a large dollar amount of support, but nowhere close to 5% of their annual income.

All major corporations have their own grass roots representatives who petition in congress on behalf of laws that affect the profibility of their businesses.  They generally don't endorse or contribute to political candidates however.
