Bizarre Concept Business Idea

Sometimes you get a really dumb idea and you just have to share it. This is a bizarre idea I got for a business one day, I'm pretty sure I was sober.
The problem:
The way I see it there must be heaps of rich people that are not happy with merely giving money to charity and heaps of unhappy needy people that don't strictly qualify to receive it, or need more than just money or have slipped through the cracks (Homeless people, struggling single mothers, overqualified unemployed academics etc.).
The goal:
Get the charity cases the help they need.
Involve the rich people with charity more directly.
The demographic:
Guilt ridden rich people that don't like the deattached passive sort of charities that merely involve writing a cheque.
The solution:
You create a database of people with problems and charge rich people a fee to be introduced to people with problems they may be equipped (perhaps especially equipped) to solve. Sort of like dating service for philanthropists and charity cases but wihout the lofty promise of true love.
Marketing strategy:
The way I see it the concept is so bizarre and seemingly unworkable that you would automatically get national/international publicity for it. You could run an ad campaign saying what a cop out just writing a cheque is when you can do so much more, but I suppose that might be considered a bit unethical...
Intended outcome:
The needy people get their problems fixed free of charge, the rich people get to be more hands on and can brag to their rich mates about how civic minded they are and I get filthy stinking rich and yet remain karmically neutral, everybody wins!
So who wants to invest?
