I certainly can write a check for $5 (and have donated more than that), but the thing is, a $1m donation from a rich person does a lot more than my $5 - specifically, it does 200,000x more.

The widow's mite is, in the end, still just a mite.

Not if 200,000 people write it.

I doubt even 200,000 people have ever donated to the EFF over its entire lifetime from 1990 to today.
