The Trust Foundation

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

The Trust
Apocalypse

In an era where trust in institutions, corporations, and each other is rapidly deteriorating, The Trust Foundation is a joint task force of diverse stakeholders—entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, and civic leaders—focused on combating the “trust apocalypse.”

Born out of a two-year journey of analyzing the breakdown in civil discourse and rising political polarization, we identified the need for a holistic, society-wide response. Our approach goes beyond technology, encompassing regulation, awareness, and education to rebuild trust at all levels of society.

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.

By building a catalytic community, raising funds, and investing in innovative ideas and solutions, we aim to catalyze the development of new trust technologies and institutions suited for our hyper-connected, information-rich world.
