Stay with the original plan. Get it big, then consider the following 
scenario which I helped execute recently for a client with a similar 
"problem".

- Offer free advertising to the charit(ies) of your choice.

- Request that your hosting company donate bandwidth to the charity 
(here, that's tax deductable for the host)

- If you want to make some money for yourself, set up a paypal donations 
box.
