Secure Restaurant Gift Card Donations

I run a nonprofit that is organizing a charity auction and I need an experienced caller to approach local restaurants for gift-card donations. I will supply both the contact list and the exact script, so your job focuses purely on effective outreach and follow-up. Here is what I expect: • Place phone calls to every restaurant on the list, using the script verbatim while adapting naturally to each conversation. • Record the outcome of each call—name of the person spoken to, their title, direct line or email, and whether a gift card was pledged, declined, or requires a callback. • Schedule and confirm any pickup or delivery details for donations that are secured. • Provide a concise call log at the end of each day so I can see real-time progress. A successful delivery will include a clean spreadsheet of all contacts, detailed notes for every attempt, and confirmation messages or letters from restaurants that agree to participate. If you have background in nonprofit fundraising or cold-calling for donations, that will be a plus, but what matters most is professionalism, clear communication, and persistence.
