“Trust is our currency — and every action earns it.”
The Trust Recognition System is how the Core of Volunteers measures and celebrates credibility within our network.
Every organization — whether a partner, sponsor, or ally — earns recognition based on verified trust, not money, size, or reputation.
Trust is quantifiable, transparent, and earned through consistent action.
Each participating organization receives a Tier Badge representing its standing in the Core Network.
These badges appear publicly in the Partner Portal, at events, and in media materials — serving as both recognition and accountability.
| Tier | Symbol | Description | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 🟢 | Foundation-level support | Organizations that have shown initial alignment with Core Values. They show up, participate, and start building trust through presence. |
| Uncommon | 🔵 | Consistent contributors | Partners that engage regularly, communicate openly, and demonstrate reliability through repeated involvement. |
| Rare | 🟣 | Proven allies | Groups that have gone above baseline engagement — taking initiative, co-hosting events, or integrating trust practices within their own operations. |
| Epic | 🟠 | Community leaders | Organizations that lead by example, supporting or facilitating large-scale impact efforts and sharing resources across networks. |
| Legendary | 🔴 | Legacy builders | Foundational or long-term partners whose sustained transparency, leadership, and commitment have directly shaped the Core’s growth and public trust. |
Trust within the Core is not subjective — it’s tracked through data, documentation, and consistency.
Each partner’s level is based on measurable engagement and verified alignment with Core principles.
