Get Involved 
Currently the Nauhaus Institute (NHI) is a research and development organization with member partners who take on custom work and development projects based on NHI results. We are now a 501(c)3 non-profit project and our research is made possible by support from our partner organizations, volunteers, and benevolent donors. If you’d like to get involved in our work, here are some options:
- Donate money. This is self-explanatory. To donate directly to us, click the "Donate" button below. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation, click the second "Donate" button below. All tax-deductible donations have 8% deducted from the total that goes to our fiscal sponsors, Kleiwerks International. If you have any questions, email donate@thenauhaus.com or call Clarke at 828-230-9857.
- Donate products. Our Nauhaus prototype project is underway. To learn more about becoming a sponsor through the donation of or discounts for products required for the project or our general research, visit our Sponsors page.
- Donate time. Until we secure broader funding, the NHI is a volunteer organization. If you’d like to volunteer, contact Billy at 828-221-1921 or billy@thenauhaus.com. We can use help in the following areas:
- Legal. We need a clearer legal structure. Can you help?
- Grant Writing. We are on our way to getting our 501(c)(3) status for the Nauhaus Institute and we need to start procuring funds for our research and outreach activities.
- Labor. Our prototype project is an opportunity to learn interesting green and natural building techniques by doing. If you have a flexible schedule, aren’t afraid to get dirty, and are focused and organized, then give us a call.
- Full Internships. We have been blessed with a steady stream of interns that have helped us with a variety of research and design tasks. We could use a limited number of motivated and well organized interns with a knack for research, drafting, outreach, graphic design, video editing/production, and general building science. If you have better than average intelligence and want to learn about cutting edge eco-design, then come give us a hand.
