JGM Innovation

Welcome to JGM Innovation, a compassionate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded at the heart of St. John’s University. Our journey began over a decade ago when our founder, Waldo Guevara, a member of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc., initiated support for the Jorge Guevara Mellado School in Santa Eulalia, Peru. At JGM Innovation, we focus not just on innovation but on making a tangible impact. Our unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation through education is both steadfast and global. While our journey began in Peru, it has expanded far beyond. We take pride in our work with the Jorge Guevara Mellado School in Santa Eulalia, where we have made significant strides in enhancing students' educational experiences. Since our inception in 2008, the JGM Innovation team has dedicated itself to positively impacting children's lives by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. With the support of friends, family, fraternity brothers, and generous donors like you, we have fundraised to construct the elementary school, provide scholastic materials, games, scholarships, lunches, and much more.
