Recommendations build trust. They show other Spheriq users that your organization works reliably and creates impact.
They can help you establish credibility, particularly among funding organizations, partners, and individuals who are not yet familiar with your organization.
Who can you ask for a recommendation?
Ideally, ask people or organizations that have firsthand experience of your work. For example:
Funding partners
Project partners
Organizations you have worked with
People who are well placed to assess your work professionally
How to proceed
Select two or three suitable contacts.
Send them a brief, personal request for a recommendation.
Share the link to your organization profile.
Let them know that they can click “Recommend” on your profile.

What makes a good recommendation?
A good recommendation is brief, specific, and based on genuine experience. Comments about your organization’s collaboration, communication, reliability, or impact are particularly valuable.
