Does Microsoft contribute financially to any social programs or other philanthropic projects? Are all those contributions done solely to support their bottom line?

Typically such contributions come from the PR budget.

Bruh, they’re carbon capturing or offsetting their entire carbon output since they’ve been in business. All in the next few years. No other major public company even comes close.

Being anti-“M$” is one thing, but you it’s hard to disagree with their stance on philanthropy and environmental issues.
