Welcome to the Fellowship for Intentional Community website, your source for community information

Intentional Community is an inclusive term for ecovillages, cohousing communities, residential land trusts, communes, co-ops, housing cooperatives, and other projects where people strive together with a common vision.

This website serves the communities' movement by providing resources for starting, finding, or living in community, and creating more community in your life.

Help FIC Go from Grunge to Green in 2013!

This year we are raising $90,000 to fund the construction of a cutting-edge green office for the FIC National Headquarters at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. For all of you inspired to help us reach our goal, we have an array of thank-you gifts available, depending on your contribution.

New Website in the Works!

We've heard it over and over again, "This website is such a great resource, I just wish it ________________." With over 80,000 visitors per month, it's time to improve the whole experience. We've outlined changes, researched options, completed testing, and began work on an updated version of the site. What's missing is the funding to get it finished and launched. See new features and Donate to ic.org to launch a brand new website!
