Our Story
The G&N Foundation emerged from a tale of resilience and gratitude. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jon Gergler faced an unexpected job loss. Determined to turn adversity into opportunity, he channeled his energy into building and successfully selling his first company—a significant milestone in his career. Reflecting on his journey and the support he received along the way, Jon felt a deep desire to give back. He joined forces with Francisco Nevarez to establish a foundation dedicated to helping others, particularly students who lack the same opportunities, to pursue their education and dreams.
