FundingTrust is worth investing in.
Every Festival of Trust is free for the people who come — that is part of how it works. Which means every festival is carried by someone who wants to see trust grow at ground level: an organisation, a sponsor, a fund. The money is modest and concrete — a kit, a facilitator, the hours of organising — and the world has just declared a decade for exactly this kind of work.
There are three ways in.
Fund your own
Your organisation hosts a Festival of Trust inside its own walls, to grow trust among your own people. You carry it, you keep it — the nine steps run with your teams, guided by a facilitator.
How organisations host →Back a local festival
A community near you wants to host — a neighbourhood, a school, a village. Every festival is free for its visitors, so someone has to believe in it first. Your funding covers the kit, the facilitation and the organising; the community does the rest, and your name stands with theirs.
How communities host →Fund a series
One festival grows a pocket; a sequence connects them. Funding partners can carry a whole run of festivals — like the national building days in South Africa in 2027, where the local soul.com team will organise six Festivals of Trust across different zones. One partner, six pockets of trust, one movement.
