It is not possible to get the information under RTI Act in case of trust.
If you are a donor to the trust, you can as well demand for utilisation of the funds donated by you and ask for the income and expenditure statement directly to the Chairman of the trust.

Issue a legal notice demanding the extracts of accounts namely, trial balance/balance sheet for any financial year on the basis of the trust member/donor, if not complied you may approach court of law seeking direction for declaration of the same by the chairman of the trust.
