Where can I find Tunnel to Towers 2024-2025 audited financial statements or Form 990?

1. Where the audited financial statements live and what’s already posted

The Tunnel to Towers website hosts a financials page that links to multiple audited financial statements in PDF form, including a 2023 audited report covering the foundation’s financial position as of December 31, 2023 (posted November 2024) and earlier fiscal-year audits for 2022 and 2021, all available from the organization’s site ^{[1] [5] [6]}. The foundation’s public-facing Financials page also asserts current ratings and fiscal practices and was live as of January 10, 2025, indicating the organization proactively posts audited reports for donor review ^{[7] [1]}.

2. Where to find Form 990s (and how to search for 2024–2025 returns)

Form 990 returns can be located via Charity Navigator’s EIN search tool, ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer, GuideStar (Candid), and commercial aggregators like CauseIQ or Instrumentl — all of which index Form 990 data and often provide downloadable PDFs; enter “Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation” or EIN 02-0554654 to pull available returns ^{[2] [3] [4] [8]}. ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer shows processing and access to historic Form 990s and notes recent filings processed by the IRS, which public databases reflect when the IRS releases them ^{[3] [9]}.

3. Timing caveat: IRS processing and fiscal-year semantics matter

Public availability of a “2024” Form 990 depends on the foundation’s fiscal year-end and the IRS processing schedule; some organizations file returns late in the calendar year or submit amended returns, and databases note filing dates (for example, ProPublica’s listing shows entries with received dates and possible duplicates indicating resubmissions) — expect a lag between the fiscal year covered and the date a Form 990 becomes publicly accessible through IRS or aggregators ^{[3] [9]}. While Tunnel to Towers publishes audited statements through 2023, the exact 2024 Form 990 may not yet be posted or may be indexed under a filing received date in late 2024 or 2025 depending on fiscal period and processing ^{[1] [3]}.

4. Practical step-by-step to obtain the documents right now

First, download the audited financial statements posted on the foundation’s Financials page at t2t.org/financials — the site links to PDF audits for 2023 and prior years ^{[1] [5]}. Second, search the foundation by EIN 02-0554654 on Charity Navigator’s Form 990 search or ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer to retrieve available Form 990 filings and any linked PDFs ^{[2] [3]}. Third, use GuideStar/Candid or commercial services like CauseIQ or Instrumentl if a historical PDF is needed or for alternative formats; these services routinely archive Form 990s ^{[8] [10]}.

5. Transparency claims, independent ratings, and what the records will show

Independent evaluators such as Charity Navigator and CharityWatch reference the organization’s Form 990s and audited statements when grading governance and financial efficiency, and the foundation highlights high ratings on its Financials page — these third‑party ratings and the audited reports together are the best public evidence of recent financial practice, but researchers should check both the audited statements and the corresponding Form 990 to reconcile program spending and executive compensation disclosures ^{[7] [11] [1]}. If a requested 2024–2025 Form 990 is not yet available in IRS or aggregator databases, the limitation is an external timing issue rather than absence of financial reporting; in that case, the organization’s own audited reports and rating pages are the immediate source ^{[1] [7] [3]}.
