My ultimate goal is to create a not for profit animal rescue focusing on exotics (birds, exotic dogs, reptiles, amphibians, eventually primates, exotic cats, and other large mammals) I was wondering if it is possible to create a job for yourself and the ethics of doing so. I don't have enough money to live for the rest of my life, but I do have enough to begin an organization. Essentially it comes down to this Is it legal to create a job for yourself within your own 501(c)(3) and take an income to help pay for housing for myself on premises with the animals. Is it ethical to do so?
