Transformational Causes

It is essential for the US to strengthen and expand the bipartisan policies and global alliance begun by the Clean Network to safeguard freedom and democracy. More than ever, the battleground is technology.

The Krach Institute’s primary focus is on technologies that are critical to American foreign policy, such as 5G, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, digital health, digital currency, cybersecurity, autonomy, and global supply chains.

The Institute collaborates with like-minded nations and with private sector companies and organizations to promote engagement with trusted partners and advocate for a global tech agenda that reflects freedom, democracy, and human rights in multilateral organizations.

Opportunity International and the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue have created The Trusted Tech Microfinance Partnership to close the digital divide in low-income countries through the adoption of trusted technology.

With the sponsorship of the Krach Family Foundation, the partnership will transform the lives of microentrepreneurs by empowering them to participate in the digital economy, with innovative paths to earn income, gain confidence in trusted technology, and improve the quality of life for their families and communities.

The Trusted TechFinance initiative will enable participants to access trusted technology products, online education, and training to make existing businesses more scalable and efficient and pursue a broad array of technology-enabled careers including programming, e-commerce, web design, customer service and more.

The mission of Sigma Chi is to develop values-based leaders committed to the betterment of character, their campus and their community. In essence, this is about one word: Leadership.

During his six-year term as Chairman of the Sigma Chi Leadership Training Board, Krach led the development and launch of Horizons Leadership Summit in Snowbird, Utah and secured funding from the L.G. Balfour Foundation to endow Leadership Training Workshop in 1997.

In 2019, Sigma Chi’s main leadership training event was renamed the Krach Transformational Leaders Workshop, fulfilling his vision of developing transformational leaders in an annual immersion program for over 1,500 undergraduates from 240 universities. Participants engage in a series of mentoring sessions, strategic planning exercises, and experiential learning modules which can earn college credit or leadership certificates.

Co-Founded by Silicon Valley Entrepreneur, Keith Krach, the Global Mentor Network is an exciting pay-it-forward enterprise with a noble mission to solve one of the world’s great challenges: building the next generation of principled, transformational leaders.

Aspiring Leaders know that mentorship is the best way to learn leadership, but great mentors are hard to find. Experienced Leaders have a lot of lessons to share, but one-on-one mentoring is time consuming and has limited impact. GMN solves the problem through online mentorship at scale.

Keith is dedicated to improving the quality and value of higher education, while making college and professional learning more accessible to all.

Keith Krach served as chairman of Purdue University’s Board of Trustees from 2009 to 2013. In 2012, he recruited Mitch Daniels to be the 12th president of the university. During Krach’s tenure, Purdue froze tuition and saw record research funding and philanthropic giving of more than $1 billion. Krach also oversaw the creation of Purdue University Global, which makes university-level training available online all over the world.

The Krach Family Foundation funds a broad range of transformational causes, including Opportunity International, City Year, the Children’s Autistic Network, and New Story.

The Foundation also funds the Keith Krach leadership scholarship at Purdue University. It has been awarded to five students each year since 2009.

As founder and chairman of the DocuSign IMPACT foundation, Krach established a partnership with the Special Olympics starting in 2015. The Special Olympics gave DocuSign a unique opportunity to help transform the lives of thousands of competing athletes by transforming a noble cause.

Krach learned that at the start of every Special Olympics event, every athlete must present a current, doctor-signed permission slip at registration in order to compete. Imagine the heartbreak of not being able to compete because paperwork is not in order. Krach’s team digitized the process with DocuSign, transforming the organization, and ensuring that thousands of athletes can achieve their dreams.
