What Does the FEC Do?

Monthly Calls

The FEC holds regular monthly conference calls with representatives from involved communities. These calls are used to discuss ongoing projects, make decisions, and maintain community connections across the network.

Annual Assembly

Each spring, the FEC holds its annual assembly, hosted by one of the Member Communities. Delegates gather to welcome new communities, address complex topics, and make plans for the future of the FEC.

PEACH

PEACH (Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health) is a program that supports participating FEC Member Communities with major medical costs. It is governed independently from the FEC by representatives from each Member Community.

Exchange Trips

FEC Exchange Trips allow FEC community members to temporarily experience life at other communities while being compensated in their home communities and having their travel costs paid for by the FEC. These exchanges support skill-sharing, cooperation, and cohesion across the FEC network.

Mini-Grants

The FEC offers small grants (typically $250–1000) to support certain projects that are aligned with the FEC’s mission and values. To apply for a mini-grant, please read the FEC Mini-Grant Policy, and follow the instructions provided there.

Outreach

The FEC has historically promoted egalitarian communities through media, publications, presentations, and events. More recently, the FEC has done less promotional work while the organization is still in a rebuilding phase.
