📝 Renew. Rebuild. Reunite. Data shows that public trust in public schools, government bodies, the media, and the medical system has declined significantly since 2015. Our ties to one another, the health of our communities, and the future of our democracy are dependent on the strength of the institutions that underpin them. The Trust in American Institutions Challenge is a $10 million open call designed to scale a bold solution that will build and restore public trust in the core institutions that form the pillars of our society in the United States. Registration is now OPEN! Interested organizations must register to apply by 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on February 19, 2025 and submit an application by 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on March 19, 2025.

We're so excited to partner with Reid Hoffman on this open call, and we're looking forward to seeing the amazing proposals applicants put forward!
Co-Founder, LinkedIn & Inflection AI. Author of Superagency. Investor at Greylock.
Are you a mayor who is doing an incredible job reducing homelessness in your community? An NGO who is helping low-income Americans access healthcare? A government agency with an innovative public transit program that could be scaled to other regions? A startup using AI to create more equitable and awesome public schools? If so—or if you know a leader or organization having this kind of impact—please read on. Public trust in government—and in the institutions that underpin our society more broadly—is at a historic low. The strength of our ties to one another, the health of our communities, and the future of our democracy depend on our ability to meet this moment and reverse this trend. That’s why I’m excited to launch “The Trust in American Institutions Challenge,” a $10 million challenge, in partnership with Lever for Change that will scale a bold solution building and restoring public trust in one or more of the core institutions that form the pillars of U.S. society. For more information and to apply (by 2/19/25): trust.leverforchange.org
