It looks like Tunnel to Towers is a good charity. Charity Navigator gave it a 4 out of 4 star rating. I also read their latest Form 990 from 2020. None of their officers received any direct compensation, including Frank Siller. They received revenue income of about $114 million and spent about $48 million on their most advertised program, which is building smart homes and paying off mortgages. Not bad.
