How to use your celebrating
performance points for VSO.
Q1. What is celebrating performance?
Celebrating Performance (https://celebratingperformance.accenture.com) is a system set up a while ago
to recognize and reward performance through giving Accenture employees points that they can spend
on items in a catalogue (all online). If someone reports into you, you will receive an allocation of points
that you then can award to people for good performance.
Q2. How do I donate my points to VSO?
1) https://celebratingperformance.accenture.com
2) Click on ‘Rewards’
3) Then under ‘search’ enter VSO (see below)
4) Follow the process to make a donation.
Q3. Can colleagues donate their points to VSO to support me?
Yes, your colleagues can use their points to make a donation to benefit you (i.e. instead or in addition to
sponsorship money). The process here is quite simple:
- Your colleague goes on to the website and uses their points to donate to VSO as described
above.
- You/your colleague should send an email to george.pearce@vso.org.uk and tell him that VSO will
be receiving a donation from (your colleagues name) for $x and that this should be credited to
your account. If you don’t do this then the donation may not be allocated to your fundraising
total
Q4. What should donors put as the ‘shipping address’ for the donation?
This can just be the donor’s address,donations will automatically go to VSO.

Q5. Which points can you use?
You can only use points that have been awarded to you and not points you have in your budget to
allocate to others.
Q6. Where does this money appear?
VSO will receive this money and will add it to the total you see in the fortnightly spreadsheet. It will not
appear on justgiving (this is a standalone system), but you can add this to your offline total if you want
(VSO only use the money they actually receive from VSO).
Q7. Why do I see a different amount for points per $25 award?
This is due to currency differences. Essentially the value of points is based on your local currency.
Q8. Why is there a cost for postage and packaging?
Celebrating performance write and send a cheque (with an accompanying letter to VSO) and levy this
charge for that service. Unfortunately, there is a contractual agreement between Accenture and
Celebrating Performance and can not be changed.
Q9. How long will it take for my Celebrating Performance Points donation to be credited to my
fundraising total?
VSO will be able to acknowledge with you as soon as your donation is received by VSO in dollars (usually
around 6 - 8 weeks after the donation is made) and will accredit the corresponding GBP amount (as per
the current exchange rate) to your record. It can take longer so please do not be concerned if it reaches
the end of 8 weeks and you haven't heard from us, we will receipt every donation by email on an
individual basis once it has been received.
Q10. What donation details do I need to supply VSO (george.pearce@vso.org.uk) with?
In order to help us process these donations as quickly as possible it is very important that you alert VSO
(over email) to any donation of points made in aid of your fundraising. So that we can make sure points
are properly credited, VSO need to know:
- who made the donation
- the order number
- the date the order was placed
- the amount in dollars/number of points donated
