Trust Foundation

Preserving communities and institutions worthy of the trust of our children and grandchildren.

The Trust
Apocalypse

Year after year, poll after poll, charts the ever-worsening widespread breakdown of trust within society. Trust in institutions—government, media organizations, the scientific establishment, the judiciary, academia, health, and organized religion, to name a few—trust in Corporate America and, perhaps, more worryingly, trust in each other.

The Trust Foundation is a joint task force of diverse stakeholders focused on combating this “trust apocalypse.”

“Trust is like the air we breathe – when it’s present, nobody really notices. When it’s absent – everybody notices.”

— Warren Buffet

What's at stake is nothing less than the fabric of society itself. Without trust, our ability to function as a cohesive community disintegrates, leading to increased polarization, conflict, and, ultimately, a breakdown of social cohesion.

If trust breaks down, so too does society.
