SUPPORT CELA
Each year, the CELA Academy brings together emerging leaders from across Central Eurasia. For some, attending is only possible with a scholarship. Those scholarships are funded by SIBF, external partners, and members of the network itself. Beyond the Academy, contributions support the work CELA does year-round: events, programs, and the community that keeps the network alive between cohorts
  • Partner with CELA
    For companies and organizations that want to align with leadership development in the region and gain visibility across a network of 1,500+ alumni in 33 countries.
    → See partnership options
  • Give back to the network
    For CELA alumni and member companies investing in the community they came up through. Scholarships, visibility, and a seat at the table.

Donor Wall of Honor
Behind every CELA cohort are people who chose to invest in it, funding scholarships, opening doors, and making it possible for the next generation of leaders across Central Eurasia to show up. This wall is for them.
