SDO certified

We’re excited to share some big news: Two Crows Creative Group is now officially certified through the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO).


While this is an important milestone for our team, it’s even more meaningful for the nonprofits we serve. This certification opens new opportunities for organizations applying for grants — especially those that encourage or require partnerships with certified diverse suppliers.


In other words: nonprofits can now write Two Crows directly into their grant budgets, helping strengthen proposals and increase funding competitiveness.


Why The Supplier diversity Certification Matters


Many funders — from state agencies to private foundations — are prioritizing supplier diversity as part of their commitment to equity and inclusive procurement. They want to see organizations partnering with local, diverse, women-owned, and community-centered businesses.

With our new certification, Two Crows can help nonprofits:


1. Strengthen grant applications

Partnering with a certified diverse vendor can positively influence scoring and demonstrate alignment with funder priorities.


2. Expand budget possibilities

Marketing, communications, branding, and storytelling support can often be included in project budgets — and now nonprofits can include Two Crows with confidence.


3. Show commitment to equitable contracting

Working with certified local suppliers reinforces your organization’s values around diversity, community investment, and inclusive practices.


How Nonprofits Can Use This Certification


If you’re preparing grants for 2025–2026, this certification may benefit your application. Here’s how you can leverage it:


  • Include Two Crows Creative Group as a grant partner for marketing, communications strategy, community engagement campaigns, storytelling, or outreach.

  • Use our pre-written grant language (just ask!) to easily drop into your proposal’s narrative or budget justification.

  • Work with us to build a grant-ready scope, ensuring clarity, alignment, and compliance with funder requirements.

  • Demonstrate local impact by choosing a Cape-based woman-owned small business dedicated to strengthening nonprofit capacity.


We’re happy to collaborate with your grant writers or development team to scope out work that supports your funding goals.
