THE 4 PILLARS OF A
HEALTHY ORGANIZATION
Most organizations have an amazing mission...but is it articulated clearly? Is it focused to differentiate you from the competition?
Is your mission woven into the fabric of all that you do and say? Do your various stakeholders (donors, volunteers, participants, beneficiaries) know the mission and understand THEIR role in
making it a reality?
Many nonprofits equate "marketing" and "promotions"....we will help you understand the difference. We factor in the "other 3 P's" (Product, Price and Place) as well as helping you strategize all your promotional options.
Are you tackling your mission with just Board and Staff? Curious how other organizations are able to mobilize armies of volunteers and participants? We'll help you untap your mission's potential to engage others.

Our Story
Combining Passion & Experience
Steve Bostian
Founder & Principal Consultant
"It started at 3am a few days after Christmas 1984. As a college student home for the holidays, I was overtired but for some strange reason stayed up to this "ungodly hour" watching senseless shows on TV. Suddenly this became a divine moment as my eyes were opened (seemingly for the first time!) to the plight of the poor via a late-night documentary about the horrible Ethiopian famine.
What started as an emotional response (tears and a phone call to pledge what a "starving college kid" could give) ... turned into small actions (a World Vision local volunteer who collected the spare change plunked half-heartedly into the countertop displays at restaurants) ... which then turned into a two year commitment to volunteer with The Hunger Corps (FHI) ... and ultimately my life calling to try to make a difference."
This calling resulted in Steve living overseas for six years, traveling to dozens of developing countries and 30+ years of experience leading non-profit organizations. His focus has been relief and development and programs for at-risk children. He is bilingual with years of experience with large, medium and small organizations - both domestic and international.
He holds a Marketing degree from The University of North Carolina and did graduate work in international development at Hope
International University.
His unique blend of "field experience" (programs) with "home office" (executive and marketing) helps clients to bridge the common disconnect between these disparate teams.
SmartResults was formed in 2010 while Steve was still serving in The Dominican Republic and Haiti. Although based in the U.S. since 2012, the boutique nonprofit consultancy continues to focus on international faith-based NGO's. The SmartResults Team is small and nimble - various experts are brought into a project, as needed, based on the scope and scale of the client's need.
At the end of the day it's all about people connecting with people, synergizing passions, testing new ideas, and learning from one another in order to build a brighter tomorrow. We are proud to be a small part of energizing faith-communities to serve the world better.
