What is the MaD Department?
The MaD Department is an internal department focused on making a difference in the lives of Keystone employees, clients, and the communities we serve. Its role is to connect personal passions with programs and experiences that help people grow, feel supported, and belong.
We design and coordinate initiatives around learning, wellness, recognition, social connection, and community outreach. The goal is simple: if it doesn’t help someone in a meaningful way, it doesn’t belong here.

Our mission: Make it MaD
The department’s mission is to continually explore ways to make a difference in the lives of employees, clients, and community members. It emphasizes the importance of aligning personal passions with initiatives and programs, ensuring that employees contribute their skills and talents to make a positive impact. By engaging employees in meaningful conversations about their passions and interests, the MaD Department fosters an environment where employees feel supported, empowered, and motivated to make a difference both within the company and in their communities.
The MaD Department keeps that belief front and center by:
If it doesn’t help someone feel safer, more supported, more connected, or more hopeful, we go back to the drawing board.
“Make a difference for people — the kind of difference that really makes a difference.”
How we make a difference?
The MaD Department is a game-changer, revolutionizing the way our organization approaches employee well-being and community engagement! With their groundbreaking programs and initiatives, they are poised to ignite a ripple effect of positivity, transforming lives and fostering a strong sense of purpose and belonging for everyone involved.
Coworkers
We create a supportive environment where team members can grow both professionally and personally. Expect learning opportunities, mentoring, and programs that help you build skills, confidence, and a long-term career path — not just “another job.”
Clients
We help Keystone teams deepen relationships with clients through appreciation events, education sessions, and thoughtful touchpoints throughout the year. These connections build trust and loyalty — and make work more fun for everyone involved.
Community
We organize outreach and volunteer efforts with local schools, charities, and community organizations. From hands-on service days to fundraising and donation matching, the MaD Department makes it easier for our team to give back together.
Wellness Program
A comprehensive initiative that supports multiple aspects of employee well-being, including exercise, weight loss, yoga, hiking, and mental health resources. By supporting employees’ holistic well-being, the MaD Department helps foster a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce.
Financial Well-being
A program designed to help employees build financial stability and independence through education and resources on topics such as 401(k), investing, and saving. By providing access to financial education, the department empowers employees to make informed decisions about their financial future.
Employee Recognition
A recognition program that celebrates and rewards outstanding contributions, hard work, and dedication among team members. By acknowledging achievements and fostering a culture of appreciation, this program boosts morale, increases motivation, and strengthens the overall work environment.
What MaD looks like in everyday life
You won’t see a list of programs here on purpose — MaD is always growing and changing. But on any given month, you might find:
Behind each of these is the same question: How can we make a difference here?

For prospective team members, MaD is a window into how we think about culture, balance, and growth. For clients, it’s a signal that we’re in this for people first, technology second.
