The Trustees bring a broad range of professional skills and experience to the task, particularly in the areas of business/finance, the law and social policy. The Trustees include representatives of urban and regional Bangalore, as well as different states and territories. A number of specialist advisors provide assistance, as required. The Trustees meet formally twice a year, to assess funding submissions and make appropriate distributions. Other regular meetings monitor investments and the progress of projects.
