What is a charity fundraising solution?

Charity digital fundraising is the process of using online platforms, technology and digital tools to raise funds for charitable causes. It involves utilising the internet, mobile applications and contactless payment solutions to make donating easier, faster and more efficient for both charities and supporters. Charities can use a variety of tools such as QR codes, donation pages, email campaigns, SMS links and automated systems to engage with donors and encourage contributions.

Toucan Giving is an example of a leader in the field of charity digital fundraising. We offer innovative, user-friendly technology designed to simplify the process. With tools like personalised online pages and an intuitive dashboard for donor management, Toucan helps charities increase their impact. Our features allow donations to be collected across multiple channels, including mobile apps, contactless devices and online payment links.

Digital fundraising eliminates many traditional barriers, offering a reliable, secure and scalable solution that reaches donors wherever they are. Its efficiency and flexibility mean charities can focus less on administrative tasks and more on their core objectives. By using solution providers like Toucan Giving, charities of all sizes can modernise their fundraising approach, increase donor engagement and achieve more with their existing resource.

Can I donate anonymously to Toucan Giving?

Yes. Toucan Giving lets you support charities without your name being shared publicly. If you choose not to add personal details, your donation will still be processed securely and counted toward the charity’s total. Keep in mind that if you donate anonymously, you may not be able to receive personalised updates or a donor receipt, and you can’t claim gift aid unless you provide the required tax payer declaration details.

Can I support more than one charity through Toucan Giving?

Toucan Giving allows you to donate multiple charities at once. You can build a professional portfolio of causes, set individual contribution amounts and adjust them whenever you like. Whether you prefer regular monthly giving or one-off donations, the app tracks everything in one place, making it simple to support several organisations that matter to you while keeping full visibility over where your money goes.

Digital Fundraising Payments Are Fundamental

Charities more than ever need to invest in digital fundraising and payment methods for donations. In 2023, only 12% of payments were made using cash in the UK(1), compared to more than 50% of payments being made in cash in 2010(2). This shows the increased need for debit or credit card compatible devices or contactless payment apps in the fundraising sector, especially for in-person events or charity fundraisers.
The Cashless Society Is On The Rise

There were only 8% of adults using cash and coins all of the time in 2024(3), suggesting less of the UK population carry coins or notes with them, preferring digital payment methods. This will impact street fundraising for charities, whether that be via collection boxes on counters, bucket collections in town or appeals through door to door campaigns. Spontaneous donations could prove difficult for charities that don’t adopt digital payment terminals.
Mobile Contactless Payments Increasing

Mobile contactless payments are rapidly becoming the go-to payment method for the UK population. In 2023, 42% of people in the UK were registered for smartphone payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, showing an increase of 30% in one year. 34% of adults used a mobile phone to make a payment monthly in 2023(4). Charities that work with the evolving payment landscape in the UK via payment apps or terminals are likely to keep up with demand and the convenience required from donors, rather than miss out on potential donations from those that no longer carry cash or cards.
Gift Aid Management Aids Fundraising Levels

HM Revenue & Customs has revealed that there was £1.7 billion (basic income tax) and £820 million (higher tax rate) paid from Gift Aid to charities in 2024, which displays an increase of 7% and 8% year on year(5). This shows just how vital Gift Aid can be to charities and the importance of harnessing this incentive. Charities can save time with admin and reduce staff costs when processing Gift Aid through intelligent payment apps and portals, further bolstering the effectiveness of Gift Aid contributions.
Online Fundraising Platforms Remain Vital For Charities

There are a number of online fundraising platforms in the UK and the number of donations through them is vast. JustGiving alone raised £584 million for UK charities in the UK during 2024(6). Using technology that pairs with the main platforms will help charities sync donations and log the necessary details seamlessly.
