Top Salaries
Unable to Provide Salaries
CharityWatch is unable to provide a range of Top Three Salaries for this charity for the above fiscal reporting year because we lack complete salary data for the organization. Except for officers, directors, and trustees, the IRS does not require breakouts of salaries totaling less than $100,000.
For example, XYZ charity would be required to provide a breakout in its tax form of compensation to its president of $55,000, but would not be required to provide a breakout of $99,000 in compensation to its top medical researcher if that person is not also an officer, director, or trustee of the organization.
This charity reports that compensation to its officers, directors, and trustees is under $100,000 per individual. Donors who would like to view limited salary data for this organization should refer to its tax form, which may be available on the charity's web site or from a number of third-party sources. See CharityWatch's Links page for information on obtaining copies of charity tax forms.

According to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation audit of December 31, 2019 (Note 17, Subsequent Events): "In December 2019, an outbreak o[f] a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China and has since spread to other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, as of March 20, 2020, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the closure of the physical location of every 'non-essential' business for an extended period of time. "On March 16, 2020, the Foundation closed its offices, and staff transitioned to working remotely in an attempt to navigate the unprecedented challenges brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. Impacts have included continued disruptions or restrictions on employees' ability to work and impairment of the ability to obtain contributions and volunteers. The full effects and future impacts are unknown at this time. No adjustments have been made to these [audited] financial statements as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. "Senior leadership at the Foundation has been carefully monitoring the situation, evaluating its options, and taking appropriate measures to help mitigate the consequences where possible." |
