Phone Script Suggestion
- Begin with personal greetings and pleasantries …
- The Big Day begins at midnight tonight – Elizabethtown College’s Power of One Day 24-Hour Giving Challenge! Have you heard about it?
<If No Haven’t Heard About It>
- Okay, well, I’m happy to explain!
- The goal of the Power of One Day is to acquire at least 1,899 donors in just 24 hours (begins midnight tonight and ends tomorrow at 11:59 pm).
- So every one gift will make a difference.
- I am calling to ask that you join me and contribute by 11:59 pm tomorrow to ensure Etown reaches this milestone goal.
- Is this something that you are willing to do? <proceed to appropriate response to ask section below>
- A generous group of Blue Jays has agreed to provide an additional $100 for each of the first 1,899 donors on March 23 (1,899 donors x $100 = $189,900!). With that, we need 1,899 donors to get there.

RESPONSE TO ASK
<If Yes Will Contribute>
- Great! I can send you the Challenge Day giving link, what email address should I send it <note email address for your use and forward to Ben Osterhout to update the College’s records if necessary)

<If No Will Not Contribute>
- Is there any particular reason why? Remember, all gifts of any amount count – it’s participation that matters, not dollar amount and it would truly be an achievement for the College to surpass this goal. <please note anything they share as to “why not” with Ben Osterhout>
<If 2nd No > I understand and really enjoyed having the chance to connect with you.
