Syatt Takes the Stage at the 2026 Trust in Practice Summit

What This Is

The second annual Trust in Practice Summit, hosted by the Aspen Institute's Alliance for Social Trust in partnership with Allstate. The Summit brings together 250+ civic leaders, practitioners, community builders, and funders from across the country to learn what it really takes to build trust.

Why It Matters

Allstate and the Aspen Institute are awarding $5.25 million to build trust in communities nationwide, and Cleveland is on the list. MHDC receives a $100,000 Trust in Practice Award to bring Cleveland residents together to co-design and carry out neighborhood improvements that rebuild community trust.

Syatt is part of the MHDC collaborative, rooted in Cleveland's Lee-Seville community. This recognition means a lot and honors our collective work.

• Recognition of the 2026 Trust in Practice Awardees on the national stage
