Map Your Connections

The Trust Up app helps people connect and strengthen high-trust relationships. Many ways to support each other emerge and grow when people come together in this way.

Participants match with different resources, and map agreements with those they trust for using their own resources. It is simple to build hubs small and large groups who want more sharing, gifting, borrowing, trading, collaborating,  playing, and more.

Types of Resources

Resources aren’t just money or stuff—they include time, skills, knowledge, relationships, and even the spaces we share. Below are key types of resources that communities exchange on Trust Up.

Tangible Goods
Share what you have. From tools and furniture to bikes and backyard sheds, Trust Up makes it easy to lend, borrow, or donate items within your local community.
Services & Skills
Offer your time, talents, or helping hands. Whether you're great at fixing things, tutoring kids, or offering wellness support, your skills can directly uplift neighbors around you.
Knowledge & Information
What you know can be life-changing for someone else. Share practical know-how, local wisdom, or professional expertise to help others navigate daily challenges or grow new abilities.
Social Connections
Sometimes the most valuable resource is who you know. Trust Up helps map and strengthen local networks—connecting people, groups, and allies who can support and collaborate.
