Apple has only made one political contribution in the entire year of 2012, so far.

According to their political contribution report for the calendar year of 2012, Apple made a one time donation to the "Support our Cupertino District Schools" campaign in May.

On May 2, 2012 Apple made a $9,000 contribution to the "Support our Cupertino District Schools" campaign in support of Measure H. If passed this measure would create a $220 million school facilities bond fund to modernize classrooms and bathrooms, upgrade earthquake and fire safety systems, replace aging infrastructure, update science labs and technology systems, and build additional classrooms for the growing enrollment of district schools in Cupertino, California, where Apple's headquarters are located.
