Hello, Gerald (Jerry) Lotto,
Microsoft Rewards points have no cash value.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/rewards/faq
The points donated (1,000) is for $1.00 from Microsoft towards Special Olympics.
Those points are accumulated per every 3 months. At the end of that time, the Total # of points from all members that participated in the quarter period of donation will be added up and the Total if more than $10. will be awarded to Special Olympics. If
under $10. it will be donated to another charity of the same duraton when points were accumulated.
You'll find this just beneath the Donate button for Special Olympics.
"The cash donation to the non-profit organization will be made on your behalf following
the expiration of the calendar quarter (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31) in which your donation is made. Microsoft will use reasonable efforts to provide the cash donation to the applicable non-profit organization within 60 days of the
end of the previous calendar quarter. Microsoft shall make such payment to non-profit organizations of Microsoft’s choosing on your behalf if: (i) the non-profit organization you choose is no longer available at the redemption center when the payment is made;
or (ii) the aggregated cash donation for your non-profit organization at the time the payment is made is under $10. Contributions to non-profit organizations that are undeliverable will be given to a non-profit organization of Microsoft’s choosing on your
behalf."
