Vision Statement
Hi,
I am developing a vision statement for the operator of a joint venture and am not sure that I have used the correct English grammar. The vision statement is: "Entrusted to grow the Venture because we deliver."
I prefer the word "entrusted" rather than "trusted" as it means to invest with a trust or to commission in a manner implying confidence. However, I am not sure if it is correct to say "Entrusted to grow the Venture" or whether "Entrusted with growth of the Venture" is correct. The first infers a more active (as against passive) meaning and I would like to use it, but I am not sure that it is correct grammar.

The version I like best is:
Entrusted to grow the venture because we deliver.
The grammar is fine. Keep in mind, though, that it isn't a complete sentence. That may be okay if it's intended to be a slogan or appear in the title of a document. You could make it into a sentence as follows:
We're entrusted to grow the venture because we deliver.
