Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Compensation as a SP flying an ELSA??

Is there any possibility at all to get paid as a Sport Pilot flying an ELSA (previous FAT UL)??

Lets say a wildlife refuge wanted to pay a SP to fly their ELSA over their refuge to search for wildlife. (obviously the answer is NO)

How about setting up a non-profit organization to solicit funds from the public to pay for the expenses of the SP and ELSA??

Any chance the FAA would grant the above non-profit organization a waiver to do this work??

If the above scenarios would not work, what would happen if the non-profit organization went ahead with the work anyways? Would they risk being shut-down and/or fined??

Thanks for your time. (bonus thanks for quoting specific sections of the FAR's)
