But public organizations have recognized that by pooling resources they can enable this for everyone.
Thus the Foundation for Public Code was created to help open source projects for public organizations become successful, build sustainable communities around them and create a thriving public open source ecosystem.

We do this through ecosystem level [codebase stewardship](../activities/index.md) of both software and civic code (policy), enabling collaboration and re-use at scale.

Codebase stewardship consists of quality auditing of source code, nurturing developer communities, strengthening marketing and product management to increase reusability, and helping public organizations and their vendors understand how they could best use public code with their existing systems.

New members of the Foundation for Public Code Vereniging must be wholly publicly owned organizations ([article 4.2 of the association bylaws](articles-of-association.md)), benefiting all citizens and taxpayers.
