In Canada there is a company called TipTapPay (https://tiptappay.com/) and I’m sure they have competitors here and equivalents in other countries. They offer a simple, instant contactless payment that goes directly to a charity.
Existing tap-to-give solutions don’t function like your hypothetical app, but they could achieve a fairly similar end-result with far less friction. For example users don’t have to download an app, link and authorize payment types, etc.
One more case for this potentially being a better fit for a hardware solution, rather than software, is that if I were to see a stranger eating alone at a restaurant tapping away at a noisy app, I’m not likely going to approach them. I’ll assume they are playing a Candy Crush-style game and don’t want to be interrupted.
