The tools i'm offering are directed toward those without a job i really can't expect much and won't ask them to donate money they need for the website. I was hoping there is a service out there somewhere that would cover the expenses of community service directed web applications

You could ask them to donate money after they find a job, as a way to keep the service running for the next person.

This is a good idea, it can provide "proof" that your service works as well as pay for it.

I would be more than happy to donate back if it truly helped me land a job.

Can you get a government grant to cover some of the costs if it helps the unemployed?

That would actually be pretty cool
