Tripura Foundation USA and Tripura Foundation India work in tandem. Each has its own board of directors but they have the same Global Director. Tripura USA provides funding and some administration to Tripura India. Both organizations operate and manage programs. As a whole, Tripura Foundation is small and primarily volunteer driven. There are five paid staff members and small stipends are paid to part-time educators in India. Most decisions are made by each board of directors and the Global Director. A consultant now serves as Director of Development at TF USA. She helps plan and guide efforts related to fundraising and growth. |
