Don't do it for free and he shouldn't hire you just because your his brother, either.
If he want to succeed, he will need good design. If you're a good designer he should hire you,regardless of relation, in your conditions be it money or percentage of prospects.
He can donate his money to Africa, if he wants, he can't force anyone else to do so. He will have more money to donate, if he hires a good designer.
In principal I only do free work for causes I believe in, for the rest, be it family or not—pay if you wanna play. This is my work. I don't just do pretty things.
People tend to value less what they get for free, and you tend to invest less in it—at the end everybody is frustrated.
that's one of the reasons large companies sometimes pay ad/web agencies to pitch for them—even before they get the project.
BTW, I just got hired by my brother to design the catalog aand poster for his art show.
