Communities and Giving

Accenture and the Accenture Foundations will contribute more than US$100 million over three years – in global and local giving, which includes pro bono contributions of time and Accenture employee skills – to support our corporate citizenship program, which is focused on Skills to Succeed.

The time, skills and expertise of our people enhance the impact of our cash giving. In fiscal 2010, our contributions of just over US$34 million included cash and in-kind support, such as business consulting services and sponsoring our people to volunteer their time.

Each year Accenture allocates a local giving budget to support community programs in Accenture geographies around the world. These efforts, which are driven by local priorities, are aligned with Skills to Succeed.

The personal commitment of Accenture people means their fundraising efforts make a difference to a wide range of communities. Employee contributions range from supporting charitable causes in local markets through our annual employee giving campaign raising funds to support relief efforts for colleagues and others recovering in the wake of natural disasters.

Accenture provides pro bono or no- fee consulting services for nonprofit organizations around the world. In fiscal 2010, approximately 2,900 Accenture employees participated in projects for nonprofit organizations.

Accenture Development Partnerships is a group within Accenture that provides strategic advice and technical and project management support to nonprofit organizations, non-governmental organizations, foundations and donor organizations operating in the development sector. We help these organizations achieve their social and economic development goals. Accenture employees who volunteer and are chosen for this program accept a salary reduction while serving on assignments ranging from three to six months, primarily in developing countries.

Accenture offices in 16 countries participate in the Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) Business Partnership program. Here, Accenture people have the opportunity to take a leave of absence to volunteer their time and skills to work, often at the grassroots level, as an employee of a development organization.
