"Кредит доверия" когда даём возможность кому-то реализовать свою идею в будущем

Answer

"Benefit of the doubt" is translated with Russian idiom "презумпция невиновности". But it can't be оnly provided, not given. So the phrase may be translated as "обеспечить кому-либо презумпцию невиновности". 
In spoken language it can be converted in "поверить кому-то на слово" (really very spoken) or "предположить, что кто-то невиновен".
