Trust in Practice Awards
Program Description:
The Trust in Practice Awards support non-profit organizations that are collaborating on new initiatives to build trust across local or virtual communities. Grantees will be part of a national network dedicated to fostering trust through the Alliance for Social Trust’s programs and storytelling platforms. Award recipients will also participate in the annual Trust in Practice Summit to celebrate the work of trust builders.
Selection Criteria:
Each application must be submitted by a lead 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on behalf of a collaboration of at least two other 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners working together to implement a trust-building initiative.
Grants will be selected based on the impact of trust levels in a community, the strength and commitment of organizational leadership, execution capabilities and the potential to extend learnings.
