Just call it. The only requirement is the the <script> element that loads the functions you want must be loaded into the document before you try to call those function.

The same way you added the ajax call. It can be something like this:

function callAjax(data){
jQuery.ajax({ 
     url: '/HumblFin/Serv', 
     type: 'GET', 
     contentType: 'application/json',
     data: data,
     dataType: 'json',
     timeout: 5000,
     success: function(data) { 
      drawChart(data);
   }
}

Now you can call the function callAjax() anywhere you want. Obviously inside a javascript file or <script type="text/javascript">callAjax();</script> if you're using inline javascript. PS> I've added data as a parameter. Now you can pass the data to the function and it will be passed to the server through ajax call.
