- The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation is a New York City-based foundation founded in 1946 by chemist and investor Camille Dreyfus in honour of his brother, Henry Dreyfus. The two men invented the acetate yarn Celanese, and Henry Dreyfus was founder and chairman of British Celanese, parent of the Celanese Corporation of America. Following Camille's death in 1956, his wife, the opera singer Jean Tennyson, served as the foundation's president until her death in 1991. In 1971, the foundation sold a significant part of its holdings in the Celanese company. The foundation makes grants and awards prizes in support of chemistry research and education. These prizes include the Dreyfus Prize in the Chemical Sciences, Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards, Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards, Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering, Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions. The foundation also sponsors two awards through the American Chemical Society: the ACS Award for Encouraging Women into Careers in the Chemical Sciences, and the ACS Award for Encouraging Disadvantaged Students into Careers in the Chemical Sciences.
