does anyone now if tim cook actually donates any money?

Yes, he does. Cook is actually pretty charitable and gives. It has been documented how that is much different than Jobs who did not give much to charities.

Here is an article about AU also.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Tim Cook, the new CEO of the Apple Inc. computer empire, not only graduated from Auburn University in 1982, he returned in 2010 to speak at the school's commencement and has donated to his alma mater.

I am not sure about how much or what types of donating he does, but he does donate to charities a good bit.

BTW, he has another 1,000,000 in Apple shares that will be vesting in the future. Along with currently being the highest paid CEO in the U.S.

ETA:

Found this from yahoo finance right after Jobs resigned. It is a primer about who Cook is and has this lil tidbit:

Cook is a HUGE Auburn football fan. We got a chance to talk to him last Tuesday at the Verizon event, after Auburn won the national championship the night before. He sounded like it had been one of the best moments of his life. (Now we see, perhaps, why he had to watch it in a New York hotel room and not at the game itself.)
