The Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics

The Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics was founded in the 1920s from a $1.5 million gift to the University of California from the Bancitaly Corporation in honor of its founder, A.P. Giannini. This fund has now grown to $20 million that is used to promote and support research on the economics of California agriculture. Members, which include faculty from various University of California campuses, may apply for grants to conduct research on California's agricultural economy and development. The findings are often reported in numerous publications.
==Origin of the Foundation==
Amadeo Peter Giannini, or A.P. as he was known, established the Bank of Italy in 1904 in the North Beach district of San Francisco. He initially made his money as a commission merchant and produce dealer for farms in the Santa Clara Valley, but found banks uninterested in being in business with farms, so he decided to open his own bank. The business continued to grow and more branches were opened in the Central Valley. Giannini sought out customers in agriculture, with a focus on expanding the horticulture industry and small farmers. The bank became extremely profitable in the 1920s prior to the Great Depression.
While President of the Bancitaly Corporation, Giannini never received a salary or other compensation.〔James, M., and B.R. James. Biography of a Bank: The Story of Bank of America, N.T. & S.A. New York NY: Harper and Brothers, 1954.〕 In 1926, Bancitaly’s directors voted to reimburse Giannini with 5% of the corporation’s annual net profits, a figure of $1.5 million. However, he refused to accept the money and asked that it be donated to help California’s farmers.〔Bonadio, F.A. A.P. Giannini: Banker of America, Berkeley CA: University of California Press, 1994.〕 Thus, on February 14, 1928, the Bancitaly Corporation presented a gift of $1.5 million to the Regents of the University of California.〔Johnston, W.E. and A.F. McCalla. A.P. Giannini and the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics. Davis, CA: University of California Davis, 2009.〕 The board of directors decided that the fund be used strictly in the broad field of agricultural economics.〔Hutchison, C.B. Interview conducted by Willa Klug Baum. 1961. The College of Agriculture, University of California, 1922–1952. Regional Oral History Office, General Library, University of California, Berkeley.〕
