I think this is just not true. Reducing friction will increase participation.

I make donations to many organizations currently. I would donate to more, but it's a hassle to identify them and determine what/how I want to donate. It's just not a top priority for me, for better or worse. But if I could click a button right now and 5x my donations with the trust that they were supporting what I wanted them to, I'd do it!

edit: Also, this is a reminder to me that everything is a choice and I could be spending my time setting up donations instead of commenting on HN...
