How to Get Involved

Give generously

Our ongoing projects in Ethiopia and Mozambique are transforming lives, but we need your help to continue this vital work. Your monthly or one-time support can fund the emergence of new businesses and educational courses, empowering communities.

Once fully funded, we can expand to new "Hub" locations, furthering our impact. Please consider donating today to support these life-changing initiatives.

Offer your talents as a Volunteer

Do you have skills you want to use for a greater good? Join us at Occular Institute! Start as a volunteer or intern, with opportunities for staff positions and fellowships. Show up, share your skills, and grow with us into a more formal role, making a tangible difference in communities worldwide.

Hire Occular for Financial Services

Realistically, the best way to "give" to this movement is to hire Occular LLC for your financial service needs occular.co (so you can write off the real business expense) and pay a premium which then all goes into the Occular Institute projects budget.

Start a Project or Apply for Funding

We are actively taking in projects.

In the same viewpoint, we are always looking for projects. A project is defined as a solution to a specific problem that is beyond just the ideation stage. A few generalized examples of what we are looking for in a project:

  • Is there a specific problem you are trying to solve? Even with KBR, an extremely broad concept, we are attempting to simplify and streamline the economic development engine across any context.
  • Is there is a foundational or core element that your solution can speak to that is beyond the seen? Harmonice is only possible, if it is, because the core idea is God has an optimal manner for humans to transact, which is beyond just speed. Frictionless is not inherently faster than a sub-optimal system. Our transactions with other people can bring life or death as a long-term outcome, which is beyond trying to work through a zero-sum outcome.
  • Have you actually started or developed your idea? Unfortunately all projects simply have to have some concrete foundation of extreme research and/or development in order to qualify as a project. We are not trying to incubate nascent projects, we are working with projects that have forethought and initiators who have taken the project as far as they can and now need some gasoline in the engine.
