Hi! I’m Ephraim Gopin. I’ve spent the last 25 years as a nonprofit CEO, fundraiser, grant writer, comms and marketing director, event planner and worn every other hat you can think of.
Like you, I always worked in small shops. I get the stresses and pressure you’re under. The financial worries. The lack of funds to hire the consultants you need.
That’s why I created the Small Shop Success community. Just for people like you!
This unique WhatsApp group will provide you with:
✅ An on-call nonprofit expert to answer your questions, 3 hours a day, 4 days a week
✅ Solutions to your organizational headaches, answers to your fundraising and marketing questions
✅ The info and know how you need to surpass your goals

Starting January 20, every Monday thru Thursday, 12pm-3pm EST (9am-12pm PST), I am available- during your workday!– to answer all your nonprofit, management, fundraising and marketing related questions. You’ll learn best practices, get tips and expert advice while connecting to a community of small shop staff dealing with similar issues to yours. (Pricing info is below)
Spend as few or as many hours as you want participating in the discussion. There’s no obligation to be present every day.

Being connected to other small charities and participating in the Small Shop Success chat with other fundraisers fostered a sense of belonging to a community of like-minded professionals. The shared knowledge, comradery and connectedness was a boost. The various fundraisers shared insights, strategies and success stories with each other. This exchange of knowledge helped me improve my own fundraising efforts by learning from the experiences of others.
Being part of a chat with fellow fundraisers also provided emotional support and encouragement during these tough times. Sharing struggles and triumphs with others who understand the work was a boost to morale and motivation.
Ephraim’s knowledge, advice and his ability to walk you through a challenge provided hope, ideas and confidence to move ideas forward. Whether seeking advice on a particular fundraising strategy or sharing urgent updates about ongoing campaigns, the convenience and access to Ephraim and other ‘brains’ through the Small Shop Success chat was invaluable. If we were stuck on a thought in a meeting, I’d often say “let me ask the Think Tank”, which is how I referred to the group.
