	The Bay and Paul Foundations, Inc., were formed upon the merger in 2005 of two private foundations established by Charles Ulrick Bay, an industrialist and former U.S. ambassador to Norway, and his widow, Josephine. Charles Ulrick Bay's enterprises included surgical bandages, petroleum, shipping, and finance. He died in 1955. His widow was the first woman to head a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange (A.M. Kidder & Co.), and was also chairman and chief executive officer of American Export Lines, a major shipping company. Josephine Bay Paul died in 1962 and endowed the foundation that bore her and her second husband's names.  The Bay Foundation and the Josephine Bay Paul and C. Michael Paul Foundation had previously collaborated in the founding and support of the Biodiversity Leadership Awards program, which began in 1995. ¤   The foundation has its offices in New York City. Fred Bay is the executive director and chief executive officer.   To obtain reports or grant guidelines, please call or write the foundation at 17 West 94th Street, New York, New York, 10025. Telephone 212-663-1115, facsimile 212-932-0316. Information about the foundation and its programs may be found at www.bayandpaulfoundations.org.   The foundation does not process grant requests by facsimile or electronic mail. ¤
