I disagree. If your charitable application is profitable, it will get funded.

Now, people will hate you for doing a "good" thing for money (exhibit A : name any pharma company selling the drugs that keep people alive ; that company is going to get called a "cynical shill" given enough profit.)

It just happens that the bad things are often highly profitable, so the investors will pour the pensioners money in (because the pension money must flow.)

That being said, the best way to get funded is not for your app to be good or bad, but to be massively fun. Sell tulips, video games and Céline Dion tickets. Find a way to divert 10% of the benefits to a charity.
