Our Team
The HMSTrust management structure is centred around the Board of Trustees, who are responsible for overarching governance and decision-making across the Trust's three key areas of operations: grantmaking, investment, and finance and compliance. In addition to attendance at Trustees' Meetings, Trustees elect to sit on the Investment Committee and the Grants Advisory Committee.
Each area of the Trust's operations are staffed with skilled professionals who are responsible for delivering on HMSTrust's vision, purpose and guiding principles.
