CEO
Matt Crate
“Toucan is the combination of my two passions: tech and social impact. In recent years, we’ve seen the power that movements can have when communities unite and use online platforms to deliver meaningful change.
That’s why I founded Toucan. To create an app that helps charities and provides people with a way to give that matches up with the way we live now.
Everything we do is centred around our belief that giving should be fun, flexible, and accessible for all. This is how we’ll build a world where giving is second nature.”
Head of Product
Melody Truong
“I believe that most people are inherently good and that the way we give and the causes we give to, become part of our identity.
I want Toucan to be the platform that fosters and develops this emotional connection between people, the causes they support, the community they belong to and indeed, themselves. I want people to be passionate about the positive change they can create. I want stories to be shared and I want people to feel inspired and empowered knowing that with Toucan they can join others in making a positive difference.”
Invest in a world where giving is second nature.

A letter to a daughter
The night Matt’s daughter was born, he wrote her a letter mapping out his dreams for her and the sort of world he hopes she'll grow up in.
To lead by example, shortly after, he started Toucan. Shortly after that he took it into Dragons' Den. This is that letter.
My gorgeous little Sienna,
Wow.... I've just witnessed the birth of you, my beautiful baby daughter. It's a surreal feeling, sitting here in our flat just two hours after you arrived, knowing I've now got a daughter just a few miles down the road. I wish I could be with you and your mum but Covid restrictions meant that I had to leave almost immediately.
It's hard to put into words how much I love you already, having only held you for a matter of minutes. I want you to know that my first words to you were, 'hello darling, I've been waiting to see you'.
Obviously I can't sleep, so I wanted to take the time to write you a letter, to ensure these thoughts don't fade away. As I drove back from the hospital, I took some time to reflect and think about what I want for you in this life, and what advice I can give you at this stage of mine.
Firstly, be curious about the world. You must dig a little deeper to get the best out of it. Make sure you ask new people questions, travel to new places and always be open to new experiences.
Secondly, follow your dreams. You only get one life so live it. Don't defer enjoyment and save for security. Your security will come from the depth of relationships in your life, so dream big.
Lastly, be generous with your time, your money and your feelings. Care about people because we're all in this together.
I don't need to list all the promises I'll make to you because I think you already felt them when I first held you.
See you tomorrow darling - I can't wait.
All my love
Your Dad

With Toucan, I can finally give to charity without thinking about it, and know that my money is going to a good cause.

I never carry change anymore and Toucan gives me the chance to still feel like I’m giving back.

I could never decide which charity to donate to until Toucan gave me all the info I needed to choose. Thank you Toucan!
