I saw something related to this, but it didn’t exactly answer my question.

A client has asked me why he doesn’t have this feature on his page and why others do.

Here’s his: https://www.facebook.com/mainehutsHere's the one he referenced: https://www.facebook.com/bicyclecoalitionmaine

They’re both non-profits.

In doing some research, I wonder if it’s being tied into Facebook “places” somehow. I notice that on the bike page there’s the “Add to Map” but not on the huts page. (Ditto w/our own page: we have recommendations AND we have Add to Map.)

Is that why? How can we change his status so that he can begin to accept recommendations?

Yep!  @pegsousa is exactly right!

I too have wondered about that, as it was showing on my FB page but not on a friend’s.  Now I know!
