Hello, may I speak to ________ please?
My name is _________ and I’m calling on behalf of the Jewish Federation’s Annual Campaign.
May I have a few moments of your time to talk about this year’s Campaign?
“No”
Is there a better time that someone could call?
“Yes”
Thank you very much. Your support makes a difference and is much appreciated.
Our 2025 Annual Campaign is focused on three main priorities: countering antisemitism, ensuring access to Jewish life and education, and empowering our most vulnerable.
For almost 90 years, the Jewish Federation of Ottawa has been providing support in virtually every type of Jewish moment – in times of crisis and in times of calm – we are building community and changing lives. That’s why we’re asking: Can we count on your gift to our 2025 Annual Campaign?
(If they can donate) Thank you so much. Last year you made a gift of $XX dollars—would you be able to increase your gift by 10% this year to $XX? [Please consult your donor card to determine what increase in gift you should ask from the donor]
(If they cannot increase by XX%) Not a problem. Would you be able to renew your gift from last year at the same level?
Thank you! Your generosity will make a difference!
This pledge is due by December 31, 2025. However, we encourage you to consider monthly payments on your credit card. Payments can be made by credit card, cheque (payable to the Jewish Federation of Ottawa) or online at jewishottawa.com/annual-campaign-donate.
How would you like to pay?
Can I take a moment to confirm your address?
Your e-mail address?
Your cell phone number?
On behalf of the community, thank you for your support of the Federation and our community.
Have a good day/afternoon/evening!
