One thing to consider is that when you’re raising money from friends&family, the cost to you isn’t just time but also social capital.
For example (just because this is most obvious thing on my mind) right now, getting people to donate to a Christmas fundraiser probably means it’d be awkward to also ask them to Try Giving for 2016.
It also causes your friends and family to have less money. I expect this to be the main cost; that is, I expect that if one were allocating “moral responsibility” you should give > 1⁄2 to the person who actually did the donating.

Do you usually ask the same people about these things? My impression was that the two (fundraiser donors vs. Try Giving) are separate audiences.
