I have at various times wanted to start a non-profit that would provide benefits similar to veteran benefits (paid college tuition, paid health insurance, etc) to people who donate kidneys to strangers at the top of the transplant list.

The fact that the kidney goes to the person at the top of the list solves the potential issues of the rich getting better health outcomes because they can pay. Also, we as a society have already accepted these benefits as being acceptable reward for risking life in order to (ostensibly) save American lives in a military context - this simply extends the concept.
