CEA Foundation
Since 2007, we have specialized in connecting international cooperation actors and the private sector. We build partnerships that generate positive impact in territories and vulnerable social sectors through the implementation of projects.
We are a catalyst for the investments of CEA-affiliated companies in:
Our Lines of Action
Our work is focused on four strategic areas.
Employment and Business
Implementation of projects to strengthen entrepreneurship, small and medium-sized enterprises, and productive associations through training, mentoring, value chain linkages, and financing.
Inclusion and Diversity
We work to ensure that all our projects contribute to the inclusion of populations that have traditionally been excluded.

We develop innovative initiatives that address the challenges of the Colombian healthcare system, including prevention, care, and other key areas.
Environment
We develop innovative projects that support environmental conservation and ecosystem services.
Services
Recycling Project
Program in which the Association of Waste Pickers of Bogotá collects recyclable solid waste from organizations. Through this recovery process, companies receive financial resources that can be reinvested in social and environmental impact programs.
History
The CEA Foundation was established in 2007 to support the philanthropic initiatives of CEA-affiliated companies. During its first decade, the Foundation focused on social investments primarily in the areas of education and health.
In late 2016, following a strategic process driven by CEA-affiliated companies and led by Accenture, the CEA Foundation redefined its strategy and began to specialize in fostering collaboration between international cooperation actors and the private sector. This shift enabled the development of high-impact partnerships and projects, contributing more effectively to the development of territories across Colombia.
As a result of this new strategy, the Foundation has positioned itself as a catalyst for private investment, advancing four key lines of action: diversity and inclusion, health, environment, and employment and entrepreneurship, achieving to date:
