Volunteering for a volunteer project is noble. Volunteering so that someone else can take your fair share of profit is not so much. If you are taking a hit in salary for society at large then I would compliment you on your generosity. If you are taking a hit so that someone else in your company can take more money I would suggest you reevaluate your decision

Heh, oh don't worry. I get a very large equity stake and take my fair share of the profit. The great thing about doing these sorts of projects over straight volunteering is that the positive impact on society comes with a business model and large financial incentives.
