 FIC Projects and Services
The FIC has a number ways we promote and support intentional communities and those seeking more community intheir lives. Below are some of our major endeavors.
The 2007 edition of our popular reference guide describes
over 1000 communities in North America and over 200 international
communities. It also features community maps,
cross-reference charts, and
a full index.
Available for $24 via our secure server.
Chronicling the latest news of intentional communities and
cooperative living, each issue of this quarterly features
articles on a particular theme, regular columns by community
veterans and activists, "Reach" advertisements to help
communities and seekers find each other.
$24/year for four issues.
FIC Newsletter:
Our newsletter chronicles Fellowship activities, examines organizational issues and visions,
announces upcoming events you won't want to miss, and tells you who's doing what
and how you can get more involved.
FIC Organizational Meetings:
Our organizational meetings, remarkable for their friendly atmosphere,
operate by consensus in a way that encourages full
participation from all who attend. Meetings are held each
spring and fall at intentional communities across the
continent. Please contact us if you're interested in
attending or hosting one of our meetings.
Community Business Loan Fund:
The Fund offers small, short-term loans to community
businesses and associated enterprises, and we're laying the
groundwork to serve as a depository for community assets
devoted to socially responsible investment. Loan applications
and deposit information are available through our
administrative office.
Referral Services:
We provide information about community to thousands of
seekers, communitarians, scholars, journalists, and others
who write, fax, or call our headquarters. We maintain a list
of speakers on a wide range of community topics, provide
referrals for meeting design and facilitation, and offer
helpful information for creating and strengthening community.
