James G. Boswell Foundation

James G. Boswell Foundation

The James G. Boswell Foundation is the charitable foundation established in 1947 by James Griffin Boswell (May 13, 1882 - 1952), founder of the J. G. Boswell Company, a successful farm and agricultural supplies enterprise established in Corcoran, California in 1921. The Foundation supports agricultural, general education, health concerns, pre-college private schools, public broadcasting, rural affairs groups and youth organizations. The Foundation has also provided support for the Institute for Agricultural Genomics at the University of California, Riverside.

The Foundation is now headed by J. G. Boswell, II, nephew of the company founder, who continues company operations that are centered in California's Central Valley.
