Here are a few questions for all those directors of CSR and community relations out there.  Are you inundated with requests for donations? Do requests get lost or misdirected? Have you kludged together a tracking system of emails and spreadsheets that is bursting at the seams?  Are the requests coming in via multiple channels in random formats? Are people knocking down your door wanting an answer to their requests? Are you at a loss to demonstrate the impact you are making within your community?  If the answer to these questions is yes, we've got something that can help.     Streamlining your process and getting rid of all these headaches is easier than you think.  Versaic has an approach to effective philanthropy program management that we've dubbed the Five Rs.
