Hello Frank,
Yes it is "truly worth cause", it is a 501c3 under the IRS of USA, the project is to build a massive database that could be search to find information about disabilities, like a person that is blind could find funding for obtaining a computer that talks, so the person on the site would type in funding blind computer speech and it would find the org that would help pay for such items, or agencies that help with such thing, person needing access-able housing could type wheelchair housing and it would find place that help with doing such and even bring up housing that is access-able also that have been added to the database.
The project seems to be interesting, but I doubt anyone would volunteer for taking care of a server on a long-term basis. Why just not get a PHP/MySQL shared hosting packages? You an get one for less than 10$/month. http://iweb8.com/web-hosting/ for example. This is in a way more reliable than a single server, because they have a cluster of web servers and a cluster of MySQL servers, so they are a lot less likely to have downtime. And this is managed, updated, backed up and so on. The smallest package http://iweb8.com/web-hosting/micro/ should last for some time, and may fit in a permanent manner. If you ever get more than 5GB of data, the second package gives you 10GB for 12.77/month.
You can get even cheaper packages: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?isc=cjcophst20
The deluxe plan gives you 100GB space for 5.59/month!
