Not for Profit

Supporting non-profit organisations to better meet their objectives, operate sustainably and deliver meaningful impact for society

What we’re seeing

Supporting non-profit organisations to better meet their objectives, operate sustainably and deliver meaningful impact for society.

Non-profit organisations, in the UK and globally, are undergoing significant transformation – often including profound changes to their operating models and ways of working.

The focus is on achieving financial sustainability in the context of a changing funding landscape, maximising impact in line with objectives, and building out diverse and robust teams and cultures that genuinely live the organisation’s values.

Q5 works with organisations ranging from Charities to Foundations to Membership Organisations to Non-Governmental Organisations that are facing challenges in delivering effective business and workforce planning, leadership development, culture change and developing more effective and sustainable service delivery models.

How can we support you?

At Q5 we specialise in partnering with non-profit organisations to drive impactful transformations to achieve your mission-led goals. We understand the unique challenges faced by the not-for-profit sector and offer tailored solutions to enhance operational efficiency, employee engagement, financial sustainability and impact.

We achieve this through the wide range of work we undertake, delivered by experts who bring deep sector knowledge and a collaborative, hands-on approach to implementing sustainable change. Our methodologies combine a personable, qualitative approach with deep analytics and advanced tooling, ensuring data-driven decisions that organisations can confidently stand behind.


Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) requires a disciplined, data-driven approach – but that doesn’t mean being rigid.

The future of not-for-profit organisations is unpredictable, with a need to balance cost control with investment in people, culture, and talent. We help you to align your strategy, income generation, impact and workforce plans to make longer-term planning possible.
