The Foundation for
Intentional Community (FIC) has over 35 years of partnership with hundreds of intentional communities around the world. This is a time when people need community. When most of the world is isolated, you can find connection through the communities at IC.org. FIC's mission is to "uplift, connect, and empower all those venturing to join, grow, and learn from intentional communities by serving as the resource hub for the intentional communities movement".
So what is an intentional community? FIC defines an intentional community as a group of people who have chosen to live together or share resources on the basis of common values. Different types of intentional communities that FIC recognizes include communes, ecovillage, cohousing, co-living, and even student coops. FIC has a directory of over 1,000 different intentional communities. You can also find resources, courses, events, and classifieds on IC.org. For example, the IC.org bookstore features books that cover all aspects of community living. You can keep up with relevant articles on their blog. The Foundation for International Communities has also partnered with Skilly Media to create documentaries featuring intentional communities in the US.
