1.3.5 Contract with local experts for community services.

If contracting for services in the community, seek out local expertise and orientation. Expect and pay for nonprofits to first identify community-driven solutions they can amplify and build on, rather than inserting an imported program. Provide extra points when scoring applications for organizations based in the community in question with management (not just front-line workers) racially and historically proximate to those they will be working with.
