The Editorial Board welcomes papers, briefings, case studies and reviews for publication

Given the sheer multitude of nonprofit organizations, each competing for a far from limitless supply of funding through ever-more numerous and sophisticated channels of communication, and especially considering the challenging current economic climate, not-for-profits need - more than ever before - to possess some viable source of competitive advantage.

Furthermore, charities and not-for-profits need to keep up to date with the latest techniques used by marketers and fundraisers - and their advisors - and with the best and latest academic research into the sector. If they don't, they may fail to maximize their organization's potential and could miss out altogether.

Filling the gap between the 'newsy' monthlies for the voluntary sector and the marketing journals that fail to address the specific needs of not-for-profit marketers, International Journal of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Marketing provides an invaluable insight into how your organization's marketing might be enhanced:

• Refereed, referenced articles on latest thinking and techniques by leading practitioners, consultants and academics.
• Case studies from not-for-profits themselves, describing practical experiences, the problems faced and the lessons learned.
• Reviews of nonprofit marketing resources such as conferences, textbooks and Internet sites.
