What would substantiate the "350+ interdisciplinary operatives" figure, given the employee counts reported in its IRS filings?

Who employs the 350+ operatives (Marici's US entity, Marici Canada, a partner organization, or a contractor pool) and in what country; whether they are paid staff, contractors, or volunteers; a breakdown reconciling the $1,042,324 "Consultants" expense line and the $248,332 salaries-and-benefits line with a workforce of 350+.

What evidence is currently available in the public record?

Marici's Form 990 Part I, line 5 (total employees) reports 2 for tax year 2024, 2 for 2023, 4 for 2022, and 1 for 2021 (ProPublica filing pages, e.g. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/821536804/202513219349312476/full for FY2024). The 2024 filing separately reports $248,332 in salaries and benefits and a $1,042,324 "Consultants" expense line. The filings do not name the operatives, state their country of engagement, or classify them as employees, contractors, partner-organization staff, or volunteers. The IRS employee count covers only W-2 employees of the US entity; it does not by itself rule out a larger contracted or partner-staffed workforce.

§ Claim 12

Claim 12 — "350+ interdisciplinary operatives" against the employee counts in Marici's IRS filings

Marici's site describes 350+ interdisciplinary operatives deployed globally. Its Form 990 reports 2 W-2 employees in 2024. The filings do not say whether the operatives are contractors, partner-organization staff, or volunteers.

Claim 12 Filings Don't Identify the Operatives

Verdict: Evidence needed: who employs the 350+ operatives, in what country, and under what compensation. Evidence located: an IRS filing reporting 2 W-2 employees for 2024 (2 in 2023, 4 in 2022, 1 in 2021) alongside a $1,042,324 "Consultants" expense line; the filings do not say who the operatives are or how they are engaged.

What the IRS filing says

Form 990 Part I, line 5 reports 2 total employees for tax year 2024, 2 for 2023, 4 for 2022, and 1 for 2021. The 2024 filing separately reports $248,332 in salaries and benefits and a $1,042,324 “Consultants” expense line. See the ProPublica filing pages, e.g. FY2024, FY2023, FY2022.

What’s missing

The IRS employee count covers only W-2 employees of Marici’s US entity — it does not by itself rule out a larger contracted or partner-staffed workforce. But the filings do not name who the 350+ operatives are, what country they work in, or whether they are paid, contracted, or volunteer.
