Birth Announcement: The FIC invites you to visit their new baby
What is it like to live in a community? How do you start one sustain it and solve the hardest challenges? Are there ways to add more cooperation into the world and our everyday lives?
The Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC) is a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to addressing these questions and to helping people find and build sustainable communities.

While it’s been a labor of love there’s a reason it’s called “labor.”
FIC worked hard over the last year to rewrite the code from the ground up resulting in a site that is more reliable easier to manage and offers a sparkling array of new features including:
Communities Magazine in Digital Format
Now subscriptions and copies of all 164 back issues are also available as digital downloads. Digital editions are included in each print subscription or digital only subscriptions are also an option.
Best of Communities Collections
These completely overhauled compilations include the most impactful articles they’ve printed over the past 18 years. There are now 15 issues at $10 each or you can get all 15 issues for only $100.
Refreshed Community Bookstore
In addition to streamlining how information is displayed and the ease with which you can place orders there is captivating new content such as the Passive House Revolution Within Reach and Finding Happiness DVDs plus two dozen new books about finding and building sustainable communities.
Support for Your Community Events
You can now sell tickets to your events subscribe to event updates and even manage guest lists via the Community Events portion of the website.
Multilingual Capacity and International Subscriptions
You can now access ic.org in over 80 languages from around the globe. Plus international subscribers can now choose digital only subscriptions if they prefer a greener option that avoids shipping costs and waits.
How the FIC Needs Your Support Today
FIC has been delivering the goods for the last 27 years. There are now over 2500 established and forming communities in the directory hundreds of educational titles to learn from in the Community Bookstore and hundreds of attendees visiting events every year to meet greet and skill share.
Today if anyone has a question about community living in North America FIC is the first number they’ll call or email inquiry they’ll send.
Laird Schaub Executive Secretary of FIC commented on the new website “Not resting on our laurels and committed to serving our online community FIC made the bold choice to invest in building this robust new website with superior service and enhanced content.”
He added the request that “You can show your appreciation by supporting us in return. Please consider becoming an FIC member subscribing to Communities magazine or making a tax deductible donation. Better yet do all three!”
The FIC is striving to spread their educational resources into more countries and markets around the world in both physical and digital form. There are also plans in the works to further enhance the communities directory.
Christopher Kindig the FIC Business Manager was eager to share that “Your support today will help make it possible for us to keep helping you tomorrow ― as well as all the others like you who dream of a more sustainable and cooperative world.
