This study aims to analyze the effects of community trust and community participation on Village Fund utilization and rural economic development in Padang Matinggi Village, Padang Lawas Regency. A quantitative survey method was applied to 96 respondents using purposive sampling and analyzed with multiple linear regression (SPSS). The results show that community trust has a positive and significant effect on Village Funds Utilization (t = 13.749; sig. < 0.05) and village economic improvement (t = 3.734; sig. < 0.05), community participation has a positive and significant effect on Village Funds Utilization (t = 12.154; sig. < 0.05) and village economic improvement (t = 3.272; sig. < 0.05), and Village Fund utilization has a positive and significant effect on village economic improvement (t = 2.873; sig. = 0.005 < 0.05). Community trust and community participation simultaneously explain 73.9% of the variation in Village Fund utilization, while all three variables simultaneously explain 41.5% of the variation in village economic improvement (F = 21.749; sig. < 0.05), with the remaining 58.5% influenced by other factors outside this study. Therefore, strengthening community trust and participation is essential to optimizing Village Fund management for sustainable village economic growth.
