Re: 501c3 Corporations

The concept and purpose of a 501c(3) Corp is for charitable purposes, and the profiting of the shareholders is not acceptable. See http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=96099,00.html for additional information from the IRS.

As for compensation of the participants, I do not believe that you can keep their identities a secret as there are subsequent filings requiring disclosure of activities and operations in order to maintain the exempt status.
