core values
At MAD21 (Make A Difference 2 1), our foundation is built upon a set of unwavering core values:
​
Collaboration: We embrace the philosophy that "it takes a village." Instead of reinventing the wheel, we actively seek like-minded partners who share our mission. Through collaborative efforts, we work together to advance our objectives and create transformative change in the lives we touch.

Diversity and Inclusion: We are committed to upholding the dignity of every individual and respecting the inherent worth of all, regardless of their backgrounds or life experiences. Our aim is to foster an inclusive and welcoming community that revolves around principles of kindness, compassion, and nonjudgmental support. We staunchly denounce racism, intolerance, and exclusion.
These values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are deeply woven into every facet of our nonprofit's operations. Whether we're providing direct services, building nonprofit capacity, or shaping public policy, we believe that embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion generates positive outcomes.
​
Equality: We advocate for the idea that every person should have an equal opportunity to attain peace, health, and happiness. We work tirelessly to promote this principle among the individuals we serve.
​
Integrity: Our commitment to integrity is unwavering. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty and transparency. We aspire to be recognized as individuals of strong character who contribute to an organization that makes a meaningful difference.
Open and honest communication is at the heart of our interactions with the community, our partners, and the individuals we support.
​
Transparency: We firmly believe in open, honest, and clear communication with everyone we engage with. We hold ourselves accountable to our community for our actions and work, ensuring that transparency is a guiding principle in everything we do.
