We're setting a new goal!

Thank you to the 130 supporters have helped to create a new Communities Directory book! Supporting the Directory crowdfunding campaign also means seeing improvements to the online directory, which helps around 60,000 people each month to research, connect to, and build intentional communities around the world!

Your Donation will be DOUBLED!

Some supporters of FIC stepped forward to offer MATCHING FUNDS for the next $1,500 the campaign raises! So, for every dollar past the goal up to $7500 we raise will be matched.

Improve the Online Directory

We gathered feedback and identified more ways to improve the online directory - including new search and communication features, plus a refined look and feel. We also added a new section dedicated entirely to sustainability practices. Can you please help us to take this on?

Maximize the Potential

Please help us to receive all of the matching funds offered by reaching the goal of $7,500 by Friday January 15.

Anything you can contribute will help, and sharing this with your friends and loved ones is greatly appreciated as well.

A more cooperative world is possible.

If we were to put the entire history of humankind into a 24-hour-day, it would only be in the past couple minutes that civilization has looked like this.

Pollution. Exploitation. Isolation. Disparity. Symptoms of a society out of control, and certainly not one that was designed to last.

But what if we could live differently?

It turns out, more than 100,000 people already are, in ecovillages, cohousing, communes, and communities of all kinds around the world. They’re working together to create fair, sustainable, and satisfying models of society.

How can you find intentional communities?

The answer is the Communities Directory -- an online and printed catalog of intentional communities in the US, and all over the planet.

For 25 years the Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC) has been building, innovating, and keeping this catalog fresh.

Now we need your help.

We are raising $6,000 in 60 days to produce a brand-new print and digital version of the Communities Directory.

A book to find the community that suits you!

In addition to profiling more than 1,000 communities, the book includes full-page maps showing where communities are located, charts that compare communities by more than 30 different qualities, and an easy index to find communities interested in specific pursuits.

Guide to Intentional Communities & Cooperative Living

This epic book includes tons of bonus content, including articles on how to start or join a community, the basics of group dynamics and decision-making, and countless resources and links to help your community thrive!

So help us to make this updated version a reality!

You can support this project by pre-ordering the new Communities Directory. You will receive not only our gratitude -- you'll also get solid educational materials on building communities.

Can you help us to reach $6,000 in 60 days?

Please -- help us however you can to raise $6,000 in 60 days. We can't wait to unleash this new book and enhanced website -- to connect even more people to communities that are making a difference in the world.
