This study aims to analyze the construction of trust-based social capital at Muhammadiyah Boarding School (MBS) Prambanan Yogyakarta and its contribution to institutional development. Specifically, this study examines how trust is built with community stakeholders, educational institutions, government agencies, and the wider community through religious, social, and cultural activities. The study is grounded in the strategic role of social capital in strengthening the sustainability and legitimacy of educational institutions. Among the dimensions of social capital, trust serves as a fundamental element that supports stakeholder participation, institutional reputation, and organizational development.This research employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, while data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that MBS Prambanan develops trust through a holistic approach involving both internal and external stakeholders. Trust is strengthened through educational quality, character formation, alumni achievements, institutional networking, organizational professionalism, and community engagement. The study identifies three interconnected forms of social capital: bonding social capital among students, teachers, parents, and school leaders; bridging social capital through collaboration with educational institutions and alumni networks; and linking social capital through relationships with Muhammadiyah organizations and government agencies. These forms of social capital collectively enhance institutional legitimacy, expand social networks, and support the long-term development of the pesantren. The study concludes that trust functions as a strategic social asset that contributes significantly to the development and sustainability of Islamic educational institutions.
