You are crazy and this could work. However, if you’re going to run a staffing agency there are multiple ways you can do good with it. There’s only so much money to go round and your customers are not going to pay you more money because you donate a lot of money to charity though it may help with marketing and sales. Ultimately the money is either going to come from you or your employees. You’ve decided it’s going to come from you, which is greasy. You do what you want with your money. Staff are not going to work at below market rates for a company just because the owners donate a lot of money.
There is absolutely no way you will be able to skimp on sales and focus on service. Real businesses pay people large sums because they think they’re worth the price, not out of the kindness of their hearts. If you want to donate a lot of money you’re going to be doing the same kind of work as now and donating more money. Services don’t sell themselves.
If running a staffing agency and donating money doesn’t sound super rewarding all by itself consider taking on people who need a break, training them and sending them out into the working world until they move on.
Look at what Lambda School and Jessica Livingston are doing.

Could you sponsor one person a quarter to do this, to come to your office while doing it and get paid, and then work for you for nine months after?
Or you could work for a company or organisation you actually thought was making a positive difference in the world. I think Lambda School is awesome because they’re trying to make a Lin education that leads to a good job available everywhere. I’m sure you can think of some company you admire.
Or look at the 80,000 hours job board, the product of some smart people looking for jobs that they think will make a big positive impact.
