Our Affiliates

We are proud of our entrepreneurial and innovative history, highlighted by the establishment of three affiliate organizations: CODE Incorporated, the CODE Foundation and the International Book Bank.

In 1987, CODE started a for-profit company, CODE Incorporated, to generate profits to support our development programs. Today CODE Inc. is the leading global integrator of voter registration and election materials and has become a multi-million dollar business that has donated millions of dollars to CODE in support of our programming.

The CODE Foundation, established in 1992, is an endowment fund that manages and invests bequests and other planned gifts. The CODE Foundation donates its investment income annually to CODE.
