You asked and we listened.

Thanks to over one hundred FIC supporters who responded to a recent branding survey, we have reimagined our look and created a new logo, name adaptation, and improved website to be released later this Spring. (Get ready!!!)

It’s all part of our recent organizational transformation and a deepening of commitment to FIC’s mission — to support and promote the development of intentional communities, as a pathway towards a more sustainable, cooperative, and just world.

My name is Cynthia Tina and I’ve served on the FIC Board since 2015. This April I joined the Staff as Communications Director. Here’s a letter from me about the new role and here’s is a video of a panel discussion I recently hosted with community leaders.

Join us as we support community solutions and amplify their inspiring stories. You can help in these ways:
1. Contribute quality photos, video, and short stories so we can share them at ic.org and on our Facebook Page.
2. Pass along media and partnership opportunities.
3. Make a donation of any amount so we can continue to expand our capacity and spread a thriving communities movement.

If you’d like to support, get in touch with me at co*****@**.org or by sending a message on our Facebook Page. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

In service to a better world,
Cynthia

And… if you haven’t already, check out Episodes 4 and 5 of Planet Community. Each video is a dose of grounded inspiration for those who are committed to or just curious about intentional communities. It’s another way that FIC shows how the power of cooperation can create better lives!
